The gap between panels/stripes still makes my eye twitch

Anyway I recently live traced my barcode jumper in Illustrator and thought you could use these assets

Here's the retail which looks more like your version


Here's Buckleys PI with more defined gradients

Happy to email you the AI with the magpie and side panel

Dear Mero,

I have noticed that Melbourne had red cuffs, not navy, on their longies from at least 1948 (until 1999).
Their yoke also seems to be smaller and narrower than illustrated on footyjumpers.com.

From Boyles Football Photos:
Melbourne 1948 a
Melbourne 1948 b

Regards, Lemon Boi

So this has taken a bit of research, especially since there weren't too many photos taken during WW2.
However, I am confident you are correct, and the cut of the jumpers made for a thinner Vee yoke from the beginning of 1947.
Essentially where the body was sewn to the sleeves the sleeves moved further up the shoulder, making the yoke thinner.

The Melbourne Home Jumpers and All Uniforms pages have been updated accordingly.
I will get to the game by game uniforms, I am already going through and linking the stats from AFL Tables to each game, so I will update them when I get to 1947-1959 seasons. Currently I am working backwards, and have 1993-2019 pages completed.

Mero, are you going to include the 2020 State of Origin guernseys on the site?

 

[Lemon Boi]

That panel though:


1973 by the way.

1974 and 1975 are fine.

If you show a gap in the centre stripe of North Melbourne (from 2012 to present) for the manufacturer, shouldn’t there also be a gap in the left-hand stripe for the Mazda sponsor?

My reasoning is that there isn’t a gap for the AFL logo, and the Mazda logo is itself the silver emblem and word.
The blue background isn’t part of the logo, it’s part of the guernsey.

No, the Bushfire Relief game was not an official match, and as such falls outside my criteria.

Now fixed.

The blue background isn’t part of the logo, it’s part of the guernsey.

Effectively the gap in the stripe is the outside of the sponsor logo, be that either the apparel sponsor or the official sponsor.
The stripe on the players left is interrupted by the sponsor logo. If the logo were not there you still know the stripe is intended to go all the way up.
With the stripe in the middle, that is possible, but not determined by the continuation of the stripe, because it meets the collar.
Would the middle stripe continue? We don't know. So I've chosen to represent it how it looks on the jumper.

More weirdness going on (1988, 1989, 2000)

Also, the Saints had this type of stripe on their shorts from 1975 to 1978.


Was the same on both sides (red front, white back). Their white shorts had no stripes.
They changed to the VFL standard stripe in 1979; white-around-red on black shorts, black-around-red on white shorts

 

[Mero]

StKilda pages fixed

 

[Lemon Boi]

In this film, Carlton’s shorts appear to be slightly lighter than their guernsey (which was very dark navy).

 

[Lemon Boi]

The Saints wore their mainly black socks in Rounds 4 and 11 2004:

Round 4


Round 11

Port wore their striped socks in Round 12 2003:


The Saints wore their mainly black socks in Round 15 2003:

Collingwood wore socks with a white stripe in these 2002 matches:

Round 3


Round 6


Qualifying Final

In this film, Carlton’s shorts appear to be slightly lighter than their guernsey (which was very dark navy).

Those shorts were nominally black. Being made of cotton however, they tended to fade to a dark grey due to repeated washing during the season.

These look familiar. Whats the chances this is all hunk dory Mero?

I touched based with him, he says it's all his own work.
That surprised me a bit
It sounds like he's a kid who copied the jumpers with Vector Magic or something similar then cleaned them up.
I don't think he's actually sold any though.

Sydney wore their red-and-white striped socks in these matches against Brisbane:

2001, Round 22
2002, Rounds 1 and 16
2003, Rounds 7, 20 and the PF
2004, Round 1
2005, Round 3

Round 18 2004 and Round 20 2005 were heritage round matches, and they are accurate on footyjumpers.

Thanks. Nice work.

One correction, the Swans didn't wear them R1, 2002

A screenshot from Ultimate AFL: 1960s – Marks and Goals, around 5:40 in.

This can only be Round 19 1970 as Ian Stewart kicks a goal, wearing black shorts against Geelong.

Geelong seem to have fixed their number panel between hoops, unlike shown on footyjumpers.
A lad (Phil Stevens) is seen a few seconds later with the number 4, which shows that the panel goes all the way across the back.


I’d say that they were as illustrated on footyjumpers in 1968–69 before switching to a wider panel in 1970.

I know that colours can’t be 100% accurate (from dye to guernsey to photo to internet) but I believe Fitzroy had navy blue yokes prior to the mid 1960s before brightening to royal blue in 1968 (with the addition of the Lion emblem).



I may be wrong, however.

I think it would be good if some people contacted the Admin of the group to advise that these are dodgy.
