Some would disagree

That's almost obsession.

Is there somewhere I can find vector files for all footy teams (afl) jumper designs with logos and all? Thank you

Most sponsors are larger corporates, so you could collect them from http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/
The AFL logo is also on that site.

What's the big obsession with text inside the collar? Following the trend? Personally I don't like it. Its cluttered and has no purpose for me.

Gimmicks mayn. At least you can't see it, I guess.

In total fairness the AFL doesn't need it. Its building its self up to a well known sport and it should be like that but things (like the collar text) are taking it down.

Bit hyperbolic

I'm not fond of it but you can't even see it when players or fans are wearing the jumpers, which is 95% of the time you're seeing a footy jumper.

95%?

Low estimate.

...an inside collar message brings down the entirety a well known sport? Get a grip!

Plus, it's not meant to be seen, it's supposed to be for the wearer. Like on a Socceroos one it has "We Socceroos Can Do Anything" and I have a Portugal one with a similar motivational sentence. Or you wanna take the "We Are Port Adelaide" one as an example, it's a statement of pride of one of Australia's oldest and most decorated football clubs and the honour you carry by wearing it on the field. It's not clutter because you can't even see it unless it's sitting in store.

You don't see it enough in soccer, but I like an emblem or motto being written on the underside of the logo. You know, on the heart, but it's printed but only visible when it's inside-out.

It could work well for Port with the one-club thing, or Melbourne could just have 'every heart beats true' there.

I know what you're talking about, and I agree, but where have we seen it before? Can you post any images?

 

[NM_Mitchell]

I thought Collingwood has something like that.
I think it may have been side by side written on the inside on the heart?

Carlton had it, which is what I think Andonis1997 is alluding to. They had a "We are One" motto or something printed over the heart

Carlton have had all sorts of stuff over the years written in their jumpers.

"WE ARE THE NAVY BLUES" shows in the collar and has been for a while.

Adidas also do these on the bottom of the jumpers.

I'm fairly sure Collingwood had it too.

Not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about something that was actually subliminated over the chest and was around at least 3-4 years ago, rather than the trend in the last year of having writing on the collar

Not exactly.
Silent Alarm is talking about text underneath a logo, such as Port and Melbourne, but I was alluding to soccer examples, designs printed underneath the stitched logos.
