Pretty sure they have 2 kits every game, often you'll see players change over in the second half.
I presume Roughead changed his during the next break from the bolts?

A good example is when Tom Hawkins played Hawthorn last year and ran out of jumpers and had to play in Josh Walkers jumper. On name jumper round.

I'd say a lot of these one off jumpers that are put up for auction are not match worn, but just unissued spares. I did catch out Collingwood on this about ten years ago with the heritage round jumpers. I think I've still got the certificate somewhere stating that the jumper is match worn.

It was about 10k wasn't it?

A bid went for 10k but it was retracted. I think it was 6k or 8k.

Check old Footy Records on the State Library site.
Some of the older ones are vector pdf files
http://digital.slv.vic.gov.au/R/?func=collections&collection_id=1081

It seems to show them in pdf and then lets you download a gif.
Anyone know how to extract the actual pdf from the site?

 

[Fizzler]

I might have it. I'll check later.

when I select a colour, Ai is automatically changing it to something else, I think it may have something to do with the colour guide.

Does anyone know how to distinguish between an actual Richmond Ben Cousins PI and one of the player replicas you could buy with the sublimated #32?

A PI will have a GPS pouch in the back of the jumper, just above the numbers and the bumpers will be in the material.

I'm not sure all of the PI's had GPS pouches in 2009.

It's not an RGB, CMYK thing is it?
Have a look at your File>Document Colour Mode and see if it's saved as CMYK.
I used to try and use certain colours and they always looked different.
And this was the reason.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

No, RGB.

 

[Mero]

No, RGB.

Can you show me the screen cap?
Or even better email to rmered at hotmail.com
(at being @ in this example)
I'll play with it, then see if it's the file or your settings.

Hi FJGD Team!

I need some help from those who use photoshop.

What file type do you save your work to upload to BigFooty? I currently save as a JPEG then upload it to imgur.com but the quality doesn't look sharp when I post the image to BigFooty.

Should I be saving it under a different file?

PNG. Nothing more, nothing less. If you're using Photoshop or Paint
For Illustrator you use "Save For Web and Devices" and it will by default give you the GIF format.

Dead on. PNG is lossless in terms of quality. You can't go better.

thanks for that, I wondered why my images were not quality, surely this would effect people voting

But that's what you're meant to use for Ai? I use it for the A-League kit archive.
