Discussion Question and Answer Thread

Can someone PLEASE tell me what font is used for the scoreboard at the Dome and what font was used for the Fox Footy scorebug in 2007?

It's been frustrating me.

The Dome's scoreboard.

.

Im more interested in that score... I never knew itd be 94-1 in the 1st qtr

Helvetica?

Just a guess..

What the??

RedmanWasHere I'd say off the top of my head that the Etihad Stadium scoreboard font is Eurostile

It's one of those hard ones because the photo of the scoreboard's on a bit of an angle.

I've used Eurostyle over the top of the pic.
Looks like it to me.

I don't even think Richmond could kick a hundred points in a quarter, and still not play finals.

Essendon made the finals in 2011

Consider the answer to my question satisfying.
After all these years, I now have an answer.
Cheers Mero.

There's another project in the pipeline.
Scoreboard fonts on TV and the grounds.

Can anyone tell me which font the I AM is? Thanks

I know that the YOUR NAME is Folio Bold Condensed, so I just need help with that.

well for one thing it would be two different fonts.
See how the I has a top block and a bottom block, they're called serifs.
The AM doesn't have serifs, so they're different fonts.

Not necessarily. I is often written normally with a top and bottom line.


Tahoma I AM

Verdana I AM

Helvetica I AM




Times New Roman I AM

Book Antiqua I AM


Having said that, the nearest font matches I can find all use the simple I, so I'd guess the I is a custom adjustment to make the letter clearer. Gothic Bold Extended is about as close as I can get.

 

[Andonis1997]

That's great, thanks guys

 

[Silent Alarm]

That's great, thanks guys

...you were told about serifs and given no answer about the font. Ooookay.

 

[Mero]

...you were told about serifs and given no answer about the font. Ooookay.

Gothic Bold Extended was suggested by Mr E.

Classic gag.

 

[Stromageddon]

What was the first ever clash jumper?

 

[Chris who]

Cooling wood v swan districts? South Fremantle vs south melbourne

 

[Stromageddon]

I know about those ones and realised it as soon as I had posted. I'm more interested in the first instance of it in season proper.

 

[cannavo]

I guess Freo in 2004. They had a Home, away and clash

Then a few years later, other clubs started bringing in a clash jumper

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Amazing question. I am sure a club in the early 1900's wore a clash style jumper for some reason but for the lime of me can
Not remember. Mero will know

Geelong, wasn't it??

 

[Mr Eagle]

Geelong, wasn't it??

Going by footyjumpers, yes. Geelong wore solid navy in 1914 and 1921 against Collingwood.
