There's tonnes of images for you to check out and plenty of unique and long-forgotten SA jumpers.

----------------

For those interested in other State uniforms, this is phase three of a joint project by yours truly (Dave Eastman from https://www.hardballget.net) and Rob Meredith (http://www.footyjumpers.com).

I've spent the past few years researching all the representative, interstate and State of Origin uniforms worn by Australian football's State leagues, now Mero's powering through the artwork.

Other States/Leagues done so far are Victoria, VFA-VFL, Queensland.

All can be accessed via the home pages for the project:

Here's the one I liked the best, with the piping shrike logo. It was worn in the 1960s - mid 1970s.

That was the classic design. Beautifully simple and effective and that piping shrike logo was a cracker

The royal blue on the mid-1980s-mid-2000s jumpers is better known these days but the navy blue paired with the gold and red always worked better for mine.
