Portfolio AFL Retro Round

AFL RETRO ROUND

In 2017, following the success of the rehashed First 18 woolen jumpers, Fox Footy's retro round coverage and constant requests from a small sub-forum of guernsey fanatics on an online forum to return Heritage Round, the AFL decided to capitalise on the demand and introduce "Retro Round" - a rebadged Heritage Round.

This would see over the course of four years a round dedicated to a different era of footy, starting with the 70's in 2017 and culminating in Round 2000 in 2020.

This portfolio will showcase the guernseys that will be worn by 16 teams in each of those rounds - with GWS and Gold Coast being exempt due to the obvious lack of history. These rounds will feature absolute classics, as well as the absolute bizarre in some instances, and presented in an eight fixture format with the matchups.

Designer's note: For this project, I'll be using the AFL 99 template in a simplified manner, with no sponsors.​

You've got to use sponsors.

Okay sorry sir.

 

[Matele]

Okay sorry sir.

When will you learn? You have to do your portfolio how we want it to be. Screw your vision.

 

[Gibbsy]

Okay sorry sir.

Don't do it, just stick to your original plan!

Did you finish the AFL 2020 portfolio yet? I don't know if I can trust you on this one.

2029 one bored me a bit but I'll eventually finish it. I'm already about 25% of the way through this one.

Don't do that, just listen to this thread!

And what's Retio Round?

It's all good, I can understand mate.

What about putting Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney into jumpers that they would have worn if they where clubs then.

Not having Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney means you have to eliminate Fremantle and Adelaide for this year and the next (the 1970's and the 1980's) and West Coast for this year. By looking at what has happened to AFL jumpers over the past few years you could apply what has happened to other jumpers to the Suns and Giants jumpers.

Things such as before now logos are printed on to jumpers, before they where sown on. Today we have many manufacturers but in the past we had one, Sekem.

I would say plenty of people here work full-time jobs and none of us use it as an excuse. I don't think it was meant to be a dig

Yes, as some of the newer Major League Baseball Teams have done. Fake Throwback (fauxback) uniforms to mimic what they may have worn had they existed then.

I don't have to have an excuse anyway, it's my portfolio and I'll do it in my own time... and it was obviously a dig, even if harmless, with the fact I haven't posted anything yet.

As for GWS and Gold Coast, I don't know if it will work with the concept but I'll see how I go.

It was not a dig. I just said it cause the board is infamous for unfinished folios and folios that never happen or progress far. I thought this was gonna be another one of those dead portfolio's.

Just joking Cody, you're class mate

SEVENTIES ROUND - PART ONE

Adelaide will be paying homage to the South Australian State of Origin team, whilst Brisbane wear the classic 'Roys guernsey.

Carlton in the traditional guernsey, and Sydney wearing a South Melbourne guernsey.

Not a lot to say here...

West Coast wear the 70's Western Australia state guernsey, and Port Adelaide wear the Magpies prison bars design.​

Oh Hai
