There's a little pink Download button
This will download that font.
Save the file into your Windows>Fonts directory then you can use it in Illustrator.

Post-XP you can just double click on the font file (even if it's in a rar or zip) and it'll install itself.

Open the zip, double click the .ttf then press install font.
Some applications will need to be completely restarted to find new fonts.

Thanks for the input guys , I do appreciate it. FWIW Dylan8 not necessarily so , you , Mero and NM_Mitchell put up helpful info and I can apply it to when using my Windows Laptop as well .

My friend Heidi put this together.
This is re-colouring colours within a design.
Very handy, particularly when changing things like stitching colours..

OK, so this is not really an Illustrator tutorial, but I forgot what the thread was that we're linking to vector logos.
So I'll play it like this.
If you're looking to download vector logos, and you find them them in a pdf, often the original artwork can be obtained by opening the pdf in Illustrator, then copying and posting the logos to a new file.
For example, the AFL just posted their AFL Fixture booklet for 2018, which someone I know saved to their One Drive (in case the AFL take it down)
https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak4FHnTjWwzmg6V7JI1oB4QkVI-AZQ
For example, if you were looking for the official club logos, in vector format, they are all on page 2 of the pdf.
Opening Round logo is on Page 3
Anzac logo is on Page 5
Sir Doug Nicholls Round is on Page 8
So you'd save the file onto your PC.
Open Illustrator
Open the pdf file in Illustrator
Open the page that you want the logos from.
Copy the logo
Open a new File
Paste the logo.
Close the pdf and don't save.
Open it again to a new page and repeat the process until you have everything you need.

Is there a thread with a tutorial on doing your own templates? At a point where I'd like to try doing my own. I swear there was, but I've searched and can't find it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Pretty easy if you've already got the technical skills but NM made a thread a few years ago about making a vector template in AI

I just thought I would give this thread a bump to say it's here, and anyone looking at doing this professionally should be using Illustrator and if you need help it is available.

Finished making my own template, now just looking to make some designs but not having much luck. What's the best way to make various classic jumpers designs. Is it just the pen tool on one side of the jumper and the duplicate for the other side?

Most of the basic designs, like stripes, hoops etc are in this thread.
Go through the various posts in the early pages and they should be there.

Stripes for instance, are the rectangle tool, then you just copy and paste them, move them equal distance apart then Group them.
Once grouped you can select the whole group, Centre it on the jumper and make a Clipping Mask.
Put the stripes behind the Clipping Mask and you're done.
