Is someone able to help me and trace this design for me? Only the white and red piece, I don't need the dolphins logo. Thank you in advance!

I believe I have this.
What format do you need it in?
Is it just the shapes, or the jumper as well?

Just the shapes, the curvy white/red part. I want to use that design in a portfolio I'm working on at the moment. If you have it in an vector that would be greatly appreciated but anything you've got will be perfect, thanks!

It looks like this, because it's made of ovals shapes overlapping each other, then Shape Builder Tool to pick which parts remain.

You'll have to either place it on your jumper template and add a Clipping Mask, or Crop it.

Orange was only worn during the pre-season (orange was Wizard’s corporate colour, the comp was the Wizard Cup)

Might be wrong but the last time I remember white being used was 05 GF

this photo suggest it was used relatively recently. clearly at optus stadium so it has to be after 2017. anyone remember this game?

edit: white was used in 2020 for north vs west coast. likely that was the last time

oh yeah I was meaning in the multi-coloured era.

Although I had genuinely forgotten about that white and lime green kit. It looks horrible.

 

[The_torpedo]

there was a point there from around 2017-2020 where the umps had lime, yellow, sky blue, dark green, white, grey and red unis from memory

Are there any boards like this one for other sports?

The forum on sportslogos.net is the only other thing I can think of. Generally skews towards US sports but people have done concepts for footy, soccer, even made up fantasy sports. Other than that I’m not too sure.

Does anyone know what either of the jumpers on the left are? They were worn by Joe Hammond, an Essendon and Broadford player in the 1920s/30s, and this display is apparently from a 2017 Australia Day celebration. I consider myself pretty knowledgable on local footy jumpers but I've never seen either of these before - are they something else entirely?

the top left one is an old WA jumper i believe which doesn't make sense for him considering he was born and spent all his playing career in vic

Players used to swap jumpers after games, so it could be the reason why

Yeah that does make sense actually. Forgot WA wore that design.

I wish umpires were on footyjumpers. The Playstation 2 era kits from the mid 2000's are peak footy nostalgia for me.

Whenever I umpire a pre season game not sanctioned by my association I love cracking out my gold PS2 AFL umpires shirt! The 18 year olds always make a few comments on how vintage it looks...and then I realise these kids never played on a PS2 and how I'm now the wrong side of 30.

Got an AFL Vic variant of this top, it looks better with white shorts. Project seem to just have one template for their sport tops and just mix up the colour blocks for on-field and training gear. The club runners where the exact same top as the umpires in the AFL just in a horrible pink and yellow combination.

I love umpiring in white, but to look the part it needs a proper collar...and a pocket for cards would be nice, it always feels weird pulling them out from the hidden pocket in the back of the shorts.
