Mero, your Collingwood guernseys are asymmetrical from 2008-2012. The one's in "Season by Season Uniforms". Look at the middle stripe especially.

Does every club wear the same size numbers?

 

[Silent Alarm]

Clubs with outlines (WCE, Adelaide) have their numbers more spaced out. Carlton did, and perhaps still do, have a heavier font.

 

[SJ]

What about height?

 

[Mero]

Should all be the same, though some have the outline.
Outlined numbers would therefore be bigger than the non-outlined numbers.
As Silent points out, they are wider on the jumper to allow for their extra width.

The AFL standardised numbers in 2007, when they introduced the AFL logo onto the numbers.
At the time everyone adopted the current font except Freo, Geelong, Richmond and Carlton.
Carlton changed over to the current AFL font in 2010, and Freo, Richmond & Geelong in 2009.
Also, Adelaide wore a smaller version of the font on their jumpers until 2009.

Correction Mero. I noticed at the Giants v Kangaroos game on the weekend that the 'Roos numbers are further up their backs and are cut through by the GPS pouch. However, the GWS numbers are lower as to accomodate the "Canberra" stuff at the top. Hope this helps

Not talking about position on the jumper, but rather the height and width of the numbers.
Yes, GWS numbers are significantly lower down the jumpers than most other clubs, but there's a few that have their numbers lower down than other clubs, especially those that have som graphic or text above the numbers; Freo's Anchor, BBFFC, FFC, SMFC for example.
