Discussion Question and Answer Thread

[DelishDockers]

Hi guernsey and jumper afficionados - I am hoping for some clarification. I recently bought this absolute gem off eBay (long sleeve to the left). It doesn't have a collar. Whereas the short sleeve launch jumper (pre-Hard Yakka) did, as well as the 1995 long sleeve with Hard Yakka.

I was wondering given this circumstance, would anyone think this was a PI training guernsey perhaps? The collar wasn't cut off or anything, and as you can see, the other variants had the collar on. I don't recall being able to buy Sekem woolen guernseys in the 90s without a collar hence the inquiry.

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks

How do you guys make realistic shadowing and gradient?

In Photoshop, I created a new layer and used a massive soft brush with black

In illustrator, I used gradients

From a look at the photos of the 1995 season on aflphotos.com.au, I can't see any evidence of Freo having a collar on their short sleeved PIs, and going by this official auction page, neither did their long-sleeves.

I'm not sure that actually helps, but it's interesting!

Bit of a weird one but something I noticed on thursday was the number of hawks players who have moved from adidas boots to nike. Langford, Gunston, Ceglar, Anderson, Duryea, Litherland as well as Hill and Puopolo also though they weren't playing. I know a few moved to adidas the year before they signed with us. Is it a coincidence? Has this been a catalyst for apparel changes in the past? Or am I clutching at straws after the crap they dished up this year

Does anyone know where I could buy gold heat press numbers without the white outline? Really keen on getting some for my Hawks away jumper

Depends if you want the official AFL font. You can find regular gold numbers relatively easily at most sports stores.

AFL font ones are harder to come by.

Have you emailed the club asking if they have any? Sometimes they have a few left over

Sports/uniform retailers may also be able to help.

was there ever a logo design for the melbourne hawks (seen what the jumper would have looked like).

I guess the logo would have been the one on the guernsey

Hello Ladies and Gents

Will one of you, be oh so kind and see if you can use your magic to ensure this gif fits within the Bigfooty's technical rules for avatars?

It says it needs to be 190kb and I think it's around 400kb atm.

How do you make a gif your avatar. I have one ready, just needs uploading.

Same way you add a picture. Insert the .gif file instead.

Save the file on your computer, first, and then upload it through your settings.

You just need to make sure the .gif is under 192x192px. And under 200kb (50kb if you don't have a membership). To do this, to do this you are going to have to go to ezgif.com to resize, and 'optimise', he gif.

I've tried to save it and it says save picture as.

Save image as or save picture as. As long as it has .gif down the bottom.

What are the different coloured umpire uniforms in recent times. All I know is green with grey shorts and yellow with black shorts. Pretty sure there was blue and pink, yes?

Blue is used in one off rounds for A charity (I think Beyond Blue but I'm not sure). Pink was generally NRL or Women's Round

They wore pink in the breast cancer game where they clashed with Melbourne. Check the tipping megathread where I posted to see what I missed.

Put them all in a group and delete the whole thing?

use the layers window

it should be in a group anyway, use the selection tool, not the direct selection tool

Question for anyone but I imagine Mero will be most likely to be able to answer

Is there a place online that will make a single custom footy guernsey? Say, if I wanted to get my Birmingham Bears FIRA guernsey made up as a one off.

I know Mero has a link to it as a part of footyjumpers, but obviously i'm not sure who his supplier is or how i'd go about ordering outside of what he has on site

I'm also curious about collars, guernsey cuts, prices etc.
