kind of reminds me of the knock off footy merchandise that Dimmey's used to sell.... would have colours, mascot, a premiership year, but no AFL logo/branding.... AFL bitched and put a stop to it

I'd buy it.

 

[Klim]

As if you don't drive a Gamry.

 

[MKMatty]

Is that a border of space/stars? Should be on the next crows away kit IMO.

 

[Red Crow]

Not quite sure what to make of these shorts currently on ebay...

 

[NM_Mitchell]

At least they kind of tried

 

[FootyJunkie]

I fear that if one were to order those shorts, he may be waiting a while... it may be a Delaide Delivery

Except the use of others' intellectual property and the potential to remove legitimate income from people who have those guernseys or clubs that would potentially sell the guernsey.

Who's to say they won't reproduce them. Again, the whole intellectual property thing. The club have every right to commence reprinting jumpers again, whilst this person doesn't. Why? Because the dude on eBay doesn't have any right to the intellectual property.

"get away with it" Simply put, it's counterfeit goods now. No matter how many disclaimers you put on it.

I don't understand what you're being so precious about. I would think the corporate logos are an issue, but as for the rest of it? I do not see a problem. There are guernsey manufacturers across the country willing to make you a jumper from old school designs any time you like. I know a few people who have had VFL and VFA jumpers custom made. And before you say 'well they are breaking the law.....', a few football teams have had them made up by the same people for their museums etc as well. And as we know, the individual clubs don't own the 'intellectual property' of their designs either.

As long as the seller isn't trying to pass them off as legit, play on.

The VFL and Fosters logos are a bigger issue than that.

Same seller also has a Crows away jumper for sale.

Exactly.

I have no arguments to it being counterfeit and illegal, but at the same time, these guernseys aren't exactly available elsewhere.

Here's something I heard around the jumper making traps a while back. There is a demand for reproductions of jumpers like the original Bears one. But there is not a big enough demand for the League or Clubs to produce them and make a profit. Even if it is 'illegal' on lower levels like this, they'll turn a blind eye so to speak because it's filling a market that doesn't generate enough money for the powers that be to care about it.

Something I have noticed a few times which is really starting to piss me off is this person who sells boots with fake signatures and videos of the people signing them. In many cases you just see the person's body and not their face, which is suspicious enough in itself.

They have however slipped up in at least one listing where they are selling a boot supposedly signed by the Chief.

Scroll down and watch the video and have a close look.




I dont know about you, but that doesnt look like Jason Dunstall to me!

What an absolute tosser

 

[Patterz123]

That's a big call TheExtractorFactor , accusing a large seller like that of selling fake signatures - I personally think all his gear looks fine. Have viewed his listings and videos from time to time, and other than a dodgy hidden camera style of filming, can't question his authenticity.

It's just poor lighting and camera quality on the dunstall video in my opinion - as well as a poorly timed screen shot.

Looks more like him, a fraction of a frame later:

Actually you are right that does look like him. I just remember seeing another couple of videos, one was of Leigh Matthews, where his face wasn't actually shown. Another thing that made me suspicious was having boots signed by players who wear different brands. Maybe I am just too cynical!

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

Now this isnt exactly a fake footy jumper, but rather a nonexistent one.


Going by the name, I don't like the new design at all. When did North get a colour change?

 

[NM_Mitchell]

I'm sure they've just popped the wrong picture up.

 

[cmBuzza]

Classy

 

[Roo Beauty]

Those collars.

Heh.

 

[Bacon Warrior]

I dunno, the Gold Coast one looks legit. Can't see anything wrong w/ that.

Spoiler

 

[The Jack Pack]

2009 collar, 2010 cuffs?

 

[Freight Train]

2009 collar, 2010 cuffs?

Could very well be a prototype?

Saw this guernsey.... from the seller that I may have just bought an item from.... The stitching goes over the FFC...????

I don't know.. Colours do look a bit off..

 

[Dean1]

The stitching goes over the FFC

You should see some of the ISC guernseys. Theyr sewn on crooked

Are they? Okay, then this jumper's fine?^

 

[Dunger]

looks ok, maybe it's a factory second because of the stitching

Did the dogs have player edition on the lock tags back when BLK were Kooga?

Is the gps pocket the same shape as others from that year as well?
