Somewhere here designed this, didn't they?

 

[TheDoctor11]

That'd be Kerr4PM IIRC

 

[Gibbsy]

Lol if Kerr sold that then he just made some mega-bucks

 

[kayliesharks]

Can you still get them made up by TWP?

Link for the Freo Heritage. Good get.

Ugh! A medium, and for 80 bucks. Very jealous.

Saw another one of these at Future Music yesterday, safe to say if that guy saw the price you get for them, doubt he would ever wear it to a festival again

I believe that Nike provided the apparel for Freo but never actually made the guernseys. The player issues were woolen and made by Sekem but the replicas were polyester and made by Nike. Mero can correct me here of course.

When the new gradient anchor away guernsey was introduced in 1998, that's when Adidas began making all the apparel and the away guernsey (the home guernsey was still woolen until 2001)

Here is an example of the apparel that Nike made for Fremantle, I'm assuming during 1995-97

Images of their first game against Richmond suggest that if the boots are anything to go by, Nike had a deal from day dot.

Year-by-year with the green jumper (y no infamous nickname??):
1995 - visibly 'woolen', including a seam around the anchor.

1996 - Centenary year; as with all teams, polyester was first adopted. (both away AND home)

1997 - continued with the Sekem polyester, obviously with the return of the regular AFL logo

For the record, 1998 did see the start of the Dockers partnership with adidas; and the German brand did indeed make their teams' (Collingwood, Geelong, Adelaide) home jumpers - albeit with a 'safer', more generic template.
For some reason though, the adidas logo was not placed on Fremantle's home jumper until the 2000 season... perhaps they continued to wear the Sekems (with adidas shorts, mind) after the deal was made?

I sense this 2000 version, complete with before-absent tag, is a 'lighter', more reflective material than its predecessor; further backing up my theory.


On that eBay jumper, a faint reversed Nike Swoosh is just visible above where the number would sit - in the style of "BBFFC", or in Freo's case, the fish-hook logo - which clearly would not have been part of an on-field design.
I put it down as a 1997 replica, probably sold exclusively in Nike outlet shops (one would imagine Sekem would stock the team stores).

What I find interesting is this picture from a training session in South Africa.

If I'm not mistaken, those guernseys have a red-grey looking tag on the bottom corner, consistent with the Nike tag seen on the eBay away jumper.
My thinking is that Nike were commissioned to make the training gear - including jumpers - for at least the 1997 season (keeping in mind they are polyester). They would be forgiven for using jumpers of a rival make for an international preseason one would imagine!
So who knows, the eBay green might have also been a Nike era training jumper.

That's enough on the Shockers from me for this year!

 

[Red Crow]

You are right good sir! I should have consulted with the internet rather than just going off the top of my head. Ah well.

Haha not to worry. Perhaps you were confused by the fact that even in 2000, the last year of our adidas contract before we switched to fila, we had a very generic collar on our home jumper.

This despite the fact that the away jumper, which debuted in 1999, had a much fancier collar design

I've always been bemused by this

I know how you feel. Ended at 18.35.52secs or thereabouts? I must have hit the BIN at 18.36. Have been spewing since.

 

[Pendles_Pies]

Wow, I feel ya bros. That seller clearly has no idea how cheap that went for, easily could've b.i.n it for $200+.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

And the rest... 250 easy i reckon

 

[Chris who]

A win for the good guys. my best guess is the seller is someone who works at the sorting stations judging by the long history of random bulk clothes sales.

yep its op shop stuff 4 sure.... as he sells it as a pack and yeah i reckon oppers. theres a few oppers sellers on ebay. they always have such random shit. but come across some really odd stuff aswell.

 

[Chris who]

The best ive seen from an op shop seller was $700 for a bgc #8

Just to clarify dont think they buy from oppers. My best guess is they work in sorting and buy what they want for ebay for next to nothing. Questionable practise IMO

wats the difference between a sorter and a opper? wasnt there a bgc #8 sell a few weeks ago for $100?

 

[Chris who]

They work sorting out dontated items at a central warehouse for one of the bigger op shop "chains". Therefore picking out all the candy and possibly buying it by the kilo!

Anyone that has been in a perth op shop lately would be of the opinion that all the footy gear is being picked out before making it to the shelves

The #7 that sold was a kids size promo sublimated "player issue"

i know at my local op shop i get the grannies to put any footy stuff aside for me and i go in every few weeks. there happy to do it. but i know one seller actually does the rounds of local oppers. i saw a item in a local op shop and a week later it was on ebay. theres op shops in melbourne everywhere i guess some just do the rounds once a month or somthing.

 

[El_Scorcho]

What was the item in that eBay sale and what did it go for?

OMG

This is so insane...

What was the item in that eBay sale and what did it go for?

A Brisbane Bears heritage. I think they were worn in the last ever Heritage Round. It was joined by a Fitzroy scarf and some netball outfit. It went for $65.

 

[Pendles_Pies]

Not their last Heritage but a well sought after one.

Someone here must have got this:
