Can someone please explain this photo to me?? It was used on the AFL site today, in the story about the greatest NSW team. What cup is he holding?? It looks to say premiers trophy across the top, and is clearly not the normal premiership cup?? It's supposedly from the 1985 GF?

That is the 1985 Premiership Cup, it's just that he's holding it on a weird angle.
The gold leaf around the bottom of the cup is the same, as is the base.

The handles look pretty weird though.

 

[MIKE85]

What about the weird shaped handles, and the text along the top which appears to say premiers trophy??

 

[MIKE85]

And if that’s the front of it, where’s the VFL emblem on the base??

 

[Fizzler]

Found this from the same game, clearly a different trophy.

 

[Mero]

Yeah, point taken, the lack of ribbons on the handles, and no premiership medallion would suggest it was different.
It's not the 1990 Fosters Cup.
It's not 1984 VFL premiership
I can't think of anything else they won which Terry Daniher would have collected.

It says "_____ Premiers Trophy" at the top. Also doesn't look like the MCG in the background, could be Waverley Park.

Very obscure and this took a bit of searching (no photo), but might it be this? From the Age, 15 March 1985:

Fantastic searching Gibbsy, looks to be spot on. Especially the reference to the cup being 'almost as handsome as the VFL Premiership Cup itself'

Wonder if the cup is still on display somewhere at Windy Hill, I know the Cats have all of our obscure cups (NAB Cup, Carji Greeves etc.) on display in the Players Stand (seperate from the Premiership Cups in the Premiership Stand)

Well done, great investigative work! How odd that id never seen it before, pretty obscure I guess. Glad that’s solved, it was bugging me!!

Anyone know the easiest way to get a logo into Vector or AI format? Getting some running shirts made up and need to get the logos into these formats to get them on the shirts but have been warned against using some programs as they'll take the image rights etc.
Cheers in advance.

I'm 90% sure and I'd like confirmation, but yeah, seems to be it

Confirmed: 1985 Round 1 Football Record

Does anyone on here have any experience in wiki building? If so, what site did you use? There just seems to be a lot of options out there, and I don't have the time to test them all out.

Is Port planning to wear that inaugural jumper for the whole of the 2020 season or just one or two games???

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Why do state league jumpers have numbers on the front? They look stupid.

SANFL has never done it, only the reserves. But it really is so unnecessary. It's not like it's tradition either...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yeah looks dumb. According to footyjumpers.com the WAFL added them in 1982. Not sure when the VFL did, seems recent.

My thoughts are that it's easier for stat collection and player recognition from afar? Otherwise it's pretty pointless.

Currently it's juniors but not reserves coz they wear the same jumper and sponsors playing As or Bs

Because otherwise, there is a risk to the umpire's safety while craning their below average width necks around in order to view the number on a player's back when making a report.

 

[Underarm]

Is there a list anywhere of which clubs home jumpers clash with which club? I'm assuming Adelaide is at the top of the list for the most?

That would make it too hard for the AFL to make things up on the fly!
It seems that it's everyone except Geelong and Port though. And WCE until this weekend.
