Discussion Finding your 'whale'

[NSLK]

Owner of the peril may or may not have a number of fakes floating arounf their premises

Long-sleeved royal guernsey (early 90s style) with VFL and Burswood patch? Seemed a bit odd to me?

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Just a question how do
You get a fake burswood? I must admit when
I first looked at the vfl logo it looked slightly different im more than likley wrong.

Lots of effort

Real jumpers. Not convinced they are PI's.

Heres a small fact. Sekem did a run of Perils in the late 90's, for memorabilia pieces. Burswood logo a bit big and the sekem tag is different

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Ohhh that makes sense. One other thing i noticed is the yellow looks different on the front compared to the back.

No doubt about it.

Not a jumper whale, but my most wanted piece of Richmond merchandise ever. This exact 90s headband. If anyone can help me out with getting one of these, you have no idea how much I will love you.

Finally got around to seeing if i could find it!

Most depressing thing is that the premierships and brownlow medals are still accurate despite it being made in the early/mid 90's!

Nice, a premiership and two brownlows out of date though!

Sublimated AFL logos, does that mean its PI?

Haven't seen that jumper worn without the Centenary logo
But on a page on the Collingwood website, they say that jumper was worn in 96 and 97, so maybe. But arent all P.I's with a number?

1996 and 1997, the Magpies wore what looked more like a barcode than a Collingwood jumper. It included the black and white stripes and a cartoon Magpie on the front, as well as the outline of a Magpie’s wing on the side panel.

Good point, I'll try to find a pic from 97.

Not back then, no, I don't think. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Pretty sure that all retail guernseys that were actually made by the club manufacturer at the time had sublimated logos. Only the Sekem replicas had stitched on logos.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

My version is all sublimed puma

 

[cannavo]

The one I bought and W_C_E's are both Puma
Maybe one was made for stores eg. Rebel, the other P.I?
Or the Pies kept the collar flaps for a few games in 97 then dropped it?
Can't be too sure

 

[cannavo]

Anyways, it came! Very happy with it


Only flaw is the bottom hem is undone, but when I wear it, it's barely noticeable

 

[Andonis1997]

Is that teeth on the magpie?

I'm tipping it's PI. Collar and no 'team Puma' patch at the bottom of the jumper.

 

[TRAWP]

Slipped through my hands and I've heard very rare.

Probably impossible.
