It's not a font - like most football monograms it would be a custom design.

Which AFL team was he first to wear a clash jumper in a grand final?

I remember St Kilda in 2010, any team before this?

All according to Mero's site:

As terms of 'clash' your right, however

1990, Collingwood wore black stripes on white, which was their home jumper, now their clash

1997, St. Kilda wore their 'hot cross bun' jumper, which was their home jumper, and was their clash in 2002

2005 and 2006, West Coast wore their royal wings jumper against Sydney, was considered their Away jumper.

What is this about the Dons not playing finals footy. Does this mean Carlton are in the final eight?

What's the news on Adelaide Oval? How far are they through with the renovations? And, what will be the seating capacity for the Australia v England test match this summer?

1. If, the Dons don't play finals footy, then Carlton, North and West Coast are still in the race for 9th spot. Results in round 23 will make this decision final.

2. I don't know anything about the redevelopment of Adelaide oval. Maybe Essee Cross

Bloody Zaharakis....Even Brisbane can still make it. They just need to thrash Bulldogs and Geelong at Simonds and then they're in.
Their percentage is horrible though, so it's ours to lose.

Most of the redevelopement is done, just the grass hasn't been layed yet. I'm not sure how many it will seat, but is it 50-60k? [user]Essee Cross[/user]?

West Coast are out unless we win by something like 150 points next week and all other teams around us lose.

AO capacity will be around 55k. Capacity for the Ashes test will be around 30k I think. Some of the new Eastern stand will be opened for the test.

Another question, when did logos first appear on jumpers?

For what?

What do you mean by logos? Around the mid-70s if you mean patches/sponsors

The answer is already probably somewhere else, but I don't know where to look -what were the jumpers that Geelong wore against Sydney last week?

Check out the weekly round threads, they usually have the info. But it was for Member's Appreciation Round, Cats members who paid a certain amount got to have their name on the jumper

Whilst we are still on the subject, can anyone tell me why there were no sponsorship logos on the Eagles and Bulldogs jumpers in their round one pre-season clash in 1987? I have wondered this for a while.

 

[Gibbsy]

I would guess they didn't have any yet

 

[Mero]

Correct, Burswood Casino was still to be announced, which occurred before the proper season started.
That game was March 3rd, the announcement of the sponsors was later in March.
As for the Bulldogs, Eastcoast had just ended their sponsorship, so they were still looking for a sponsor.
Hunters who make cleaning products were also announced just before the season started.

For the record apparel sponsors flags since 1997 when they have been included on uniforms:

3: Adidas (1997, 1998, 2010), Russell Athletic (2001, 2002, 2003), Puma (2005, 2006, 2008), ISC (2009, 2011, 2012)
2: Nike (1999, 2004)
1: Fila (2000), Slazenger (2007)

 

[Mero]

Azuma 2005 and Canterbury 1997 would be in there as well. Blades at North.
Don't have my sponsors database with me, but will look up the rest when I do.
Gibbsy might have something more to add

Don't know if we're on the same page with this one Mero

Unless the Dogs won the premiership in 1997 and 2005! I think that's what lionbear is getting at, apparel sponsors of premiership winners, and that seems a pretty complete list to me so I have nothing more to offer

Would anyone have any idea about woolen football jumpers that are all navy with 'Smokefree' patches on the front and white numbers on the back?
Here's a mockup

I don't have pics of them but there's a bunch of them at an op shop
