Here's a pic of the sublimated version of the 95 Lions preseason.
Isn't that just a repro by the Fitzroy museum, Mero? Look how poorly the AFL logo and Fitzroy lion are rendered, plus the tag just has the FFC logo on it.

Yeah, on second look you might be right.
The AFL logo is wrong, and you'd think they could have got the lion more accurate.
I wish they'd used the lion they used for the logo on the chest, and not the Scanlen's Footy Card logo the VFL used.
Closer to this:
Similar but still different to the now 'traditional Fitzroy' lion.

Even the Hawks had reproductions of that yellow "Hawks" jumper with the diagonal stripes with that dodgy looking old AFL logo

Yeah, alongside the diamonds jumper, both for sale on their museum website. And from memory, both had those thin inaccurate old AFL logos too. I wonder if that was a copyright thing or just negligence?

The best pub in potentially Australia for footy gear hanging on the walls (now sadly a dying scene, with typical pubs becoming sterilised stainless steel and polished wood restaurants-with-craft beer), the Napier Hotel (which also has the best parma [with roo] in Melbs – no doubt) has one of these hanging. After a couple I asked the guy behind the bar once and he told me they had about 10 of the same training jumpers all dedicated by some ex player who I didn't know. No idea what he did with the rest...Bumping with a few images I saw of extremely rare guernseys auctioned off last year on the "Moss Green" website. Some of these are just ludicrously rare.
Fitzroy 1984-84 training jumper, Michael Nettlefold PI. Love the faded Darlington sponsor!
Worth ducking up to for the old posters and jumpers alone.

Fitzroy has many pubs with some epic memorabilia.

Early 1990s Crows training jumper, Shaun Rehn PI. Some of you may be familiar with the red variant.
Fitzroy 1995 pre-season; note how the side panels are hand made. Doug Hawkins signed PI
Hope you enjoy!
These look very familiar

And finally a Saints 2002 away jumper in the infamous yellow. Daniel Wulf PI. The three years the Saints wore this jumper can be identified quite easily; 2001 jumpers had the Pura Light Start sponsorship, 2002 jumpers didn't (instead it was Strathfield/Mortgage House), 2003 jumpers had the garish red trim.
Chasing the Dream look familiar?

I heard a little while back that it's for the same reason as to the inaccuracys in the VFL logo on the retro woollen guernseys released this year. Just enough to raise a few eyebrows and questions if somebody tries to flog it off on ebay as an original without taking away it's nostialgia and risk nobody wanting to buy it from the club.
