Okay, thanks Gibbsy

I notice Footypedia's web site is defunct...

Anyone know of some sites which have info on former footy clubs e.g. from 19th and very early 20th centuries? Or on some of the other leagues around Melbourne, e.g. Metropolitan and Federal leagues. Other than Full Points Footy, not much else comes to mind.

What was the Metropolitan League is the foundation of the VAFA.
1892-1911 Metropolitan Junior Football Association
1912-1932 Metropolitan Amateur Football Association
1933-present Victorian Amateur Football Association
Plenty of clubs filtered in and out of the comp in its days.

The Federal Football League was in the southern suburbs of Melbourne.
Cheltenham, Ellindale, Moorabbin & Victoria Brewery were the first four clubs in 1909.

That article is reproduced from 1950.
The Federal League finished in 1981.

Man you're a font of footy knowledge. (MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT!)

Ever thought of setting up Wikifooty or Wikimero, just to get this kind of information out on the Web?

If you set up the website, I can provide the information.
We go 50-50 on the profits.

Where do we begin? And when?

 

[Andonis1997]

Fellow FGD members, is there a website where I can download free fonts as Helvetica?

 

[Omegaville]

Jabroo

 

[Andonis1997]

Can't use it for some reason. Chrome can't find it...

 

[LadyPants]

dafonts? something like that my graphic design teacher is in love with it

 

[Andonis1997]

Yeah, it doesn't have Helvetica in it. I was gonna use it for my scoregraphics, putting the Clubs logo fonts instead of the other one. I needed Helvetica because Carlton AND Collingwood use it, so yeah...

 

[Gibbsy]

Arial is pretty close to Helvetica.

 

[Andonis1997]

Okay, I'll try that

Posted this on the design a Port logo thread, but would be better seen here.

Anyone keen on making a 2012 jumper guide. If someone does this I'm interested in bringing back AJL.

 

[Andonis1997]

Yes, I would like that a lot.

Hi guys

Where is melbourne at? With new sponsors?

 

[Willo #6]

I know that they signed with Energy Watch as their back sponsor a while ago.

 

[justlookingaround]

I didn't design this, but what do people think about the proposed new guernsey for my local team, the Robe Roosters?

Eh, it's alright... more original than my local team's guernsey.
Are they going to be wearing red shorts?

Here's my local team, Heathmont Jets -

Bigger picture, only works as a link for some reason...

 

[justlookingaround]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it either.
I'm not sure. We wore red shorts with our old guernsey which also had a fair bit of white on it.

Is there a local league designs thread as well?

No... but we can make one

 

[Omegaville]

I didn't design this, but what do people think about the proposed new guernsey for my local team, the Robe Roosters?

Definitely can see the North Ballarat Rooster there... I think it's a good design though. If Geelong West were still in the VFA/VFL, this would have been a good option

How do you pronounce the company 'Sekem'... For some reason I've always read it as Seekem, actually thought it was spelt that way but I just realised it only has 2 e's, makes me think it is said Seck-em.
