Man I wish this was used more.

Have it upgraded from secondary to primary before the rebrand heading into 2008.

Personally, I hate it.

Working on dates for these 80s/90s logos.
View attachment 2415964


I don't think I've ever seen a Freo version, so 1995 for most. But then, they were associated with some clubs later. The Bulldogs have a version with the robo-dog logo which was from 1997. And North were using theirs right up until the 1999 premiership.

I've always seen these with AFL logos on the breast of the players - sometimes in the colour of the guernsey (early 90s), other times in blue/red white (mid-late 90s).

There seems to have been a recolour as perhaps the Cat was fully navy at that point, and when recoloured the Cat head was black and the guernsey navy (with blue/red AFL logo). According to this post the Eagle was recoloured too: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/request-90s-style-mascots.678771/post-33056719

According to the same thread there was a time where these animated characters went across the screen after a win (1988?): https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/request-90s-style-mascots.678771/#post-17065364. I cannot find an example on Youtube now though.

These were used in Channel 7 broadcasts in 1990-91 (and 1992 preseason):

1990:





1991:


By 1992 they were using the other shield logos:



These were a staple of Select footy stickers in the 1990s.

1991-94: All clubs featured, wearing a dark/black AFL logo
1995-96: All clubs except Fremantle and Melbourne featured, now mascots wearing blue/red AFL logos
1997: All clubs except Brisbane Lions, Fremantle and Port Adelaide featured in this format (Melbourne returned). Bulldog has a Robodog added to the otherwise same mascot.
1998: All clubs except Brisbane Lions, Essendon, Fremantle, Melbourne (gone again), Port Adelaide featured in this format
1999: Only Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, Kangaroos, Richmond, West Coast and Western Bulldogs featured in this format. Adelaide has the same mascot but without the shield.
2000: All mascot shields gone. Adelaide, Collingwood and Kangaroos have the same mascot but without the shield.

Recently been binging every 'That Was The Season That Was' videos, spotted this anomaly in the 2001 version. Another instance of 2 different number fonts used.

Round 7, 2001 - West Coast vs. Port Adelaide. Left: Jakovich, Right: Collica

@32:05


Checked out other 2001 WCE games, and it seems the number fonts change depending if the jumper is a longy or not

Collica vs. Sydney - Round 2, 2001

Had to see if the Ochre's did the same, and they did!
Not just Collica's longy had the original numbers, Embley's too
Round 10, 2001 - Carlton vs. West Coast

Looks like the sleeveless are printed, and the long sleeves are sewn on

I dived deeper into the curious case of WCE's number fonts in the early 2000's

2000 - West Coast used the standard number font in all games

Round 4 vs. Adelaide


Round 19 vs. Adelaide


Round 9 vs. Richmond


Round 12 vs. Carlton


Bit of an oddity while sleuthing, McKenna's last game had him in an altered longy

---

2001 - It can be said that some longy's from 2000 were used in this year hence the normal number font in the screenshots from my previous post >here<

---

2002 - Another mix of both fonts

Round 1 vs. Fremantle
The 10-year premiership jumper had the newer font



Round 8 vs. Richmond
Seems like Ochre longy's with the newer font were made but ones with the older font were still being used too



And the short sleeved jumpers had the newer font
Same game, example being the different look on the 4's



Round 11 vs. Sydney
The one game I found a home longy, all with the newer font



Elimination final vs. Essendon
Another little twist, Judd wore a longy with the standard font

---

2003 - Another mix of standard and newer number fonts used

Round 13 vs. North Melbourne
Short and longy's with both the standard and newer fonts

Longys



Short sleeves

Notice #39 and #32 differ

---

2004 onwards, every jumper in the standard font

Thoughts on the new boots

These are the 1970 to 1999 version

Do they look a bit too real?

This is the 2000 to today

I see what you mean, but I think we'll get used to them pretty quickly. The darker boots look better to my eyes (less jarring), but obviously lighter boots are a reality that's good to document. Definitely an improvement from the old boots (although there's nothing wrong with them) - love the addition of the studs!

Darker version of Black boots

All AFLW unforms have been updated to the new boots

Hi Mero. Victoria (VFA) seem to be wearing a Clash jumper for this game! Presumably a blue sash on yellow. Trove article;
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/88691378/8516413. & this one; https://www.thevfaproject.org/pages/Games/VFA1911-VFA_v_S.A..php

I'm not sure if it warrants further investigation and an addition to the VFA state jumpers page. Cheers.

These are the SANFL ones. The 2019 needs the old Port Magpies logo

Ah yes. The SANFL.
That would explain it.
Now fixed.

Hey Mero, I'm curious what the source is for this North VFA uniform with the stripes running up and down the sleeves:



Obviously the designs here are all over the place, as they were back then, but the only guys wearing sleeves in this picture appear to be wearing hoop sleeves like the ones North typically wear to this day:

The middle row has them all, 2nd and 3rd from the left, 2nd and 3rd from the right.

There are more 'hooped' sleeves than striped sleeves though, thanks to the back row.

Oh you're right, I didn't notice those ones.

The North uniforms were based on descriptions, which I've since found photos of on the Boyles site.

| HomePage

www.hiddenfootyhistories.org

North long sleeves were striped down the arms, and the jumper was changed after the merge with West Melbourne.
For the first two years they wore Navy with White yoke, then alternated between Navy Blue and Blue & White stripes.
I recall the text described it as returning to the old North Melbourne jumpers.
I knew Father Gerard Dowling through the AFHG and either it was his book or a book he lent me.
I will re-do the 1911 jumpers, and try and find when they moved from lace-ups to long sleeves before the merger.


I believe the earliest I can place it is the 1903 VFA Premiership team
