Discussion Finding your 'whale'

Western jets jumper

There's a whale swimming somewhere in this jersey, calling my name:

 

[Discrim]

One thing I know, due to my location, most jumpers are whales for me , but I know I'd love to get my hands on this beaut

Another one I'd love to be the proud owner of someday (and attempted to make once...wound up with a few bad measurements [mind you, I was making the jumper itself from rather cheap fabric] so it was unwearable, and for various reasons, I haven't tried again since)...

And I don't believe I've seen this one pop up yet...

...or this one

This one's not footy, but is a whale: back in 2000, I was in a thrift store after school, and didn't have all that much money on me, but it's a shop I've frequented for years, and I figured I'd look around anyway. Hanging on one of the racks near the doors was one of these (no name, #59 in white)...despite these having been worn relatively recently (mid 80s), these are rather rare, as few players of note wore these, and they basically symbolize Green Bay's nadir...that said, I wanted to cry when I saw what they were charging for it...yes, it was actually pretty cheap, but was more than I had on me at the time. More importantly, I knew the next time I went there, it'd be long gone, and it'd be a long time, if ever, til the next time I saw one of those again.

Aenimence: haha....that one's on a lot of folks' wishlists. I'd love to get my hands on this baby myself. Cus these were awesome, I don't care what anybody says.

From the Footy Record round 1, 1983:

They played it again the following season - The Sun All Stars Vs Essendon, but I think it was stopped after that for some reason.

Pretty sure they played Hawthorn

Pretty sure they played Hawthorn

Essendon must have been the year after (The website this picture is from says it was 1985)

yep, 85 was the Bombers. The All Stars played the premiers in a match to raise funds for charity.

 

[Smartys Power]

I'd also love to get one of these

Everytime I see that guernsey, I think of your mascot's head. Or Dean Brogan. Looks the same to me.
