Retro Round

[Freo16]

Anything we can do to try and get this worn in the derby ?

Our retro and West Coasts yellow clash would be an awesome matchup

Love the retro jumper. Might not be the best design ever, and your current one was a good move at the time IMO, to go a timeless design that works perfectly as an inverse, but the anchor is still cool. As a lover of all things from the 90s world of footy, I look forward to having a closer look at it.

Eh. I'd love to see Cam McCarthy play in this, or the green one. You could imagine he probably had an anchor jumper growing up.

Even Hoges. That'd look good.

I'm crying already. McCarthy probs will bring his own from when he was a teenager

Why are mens jumpers more expensive than ladies jumpers?

Cap and guernsey pre-ordered

Retro round used to be the white with three red chevrons, with the black shorts. While I
I agree with including the collar and think they should go one step further and have woollen ones. I wonder if today’s modern players would cope?

Is your surname Costanza?

Looks great and its awesome to wear it for a 1 off game. I am suprised it doesn't happen more often wearing a retro or heritage jumper once a year. Clubs can milk more money by slagging off another jumper to sell to the fans.

I will miss the game though as i will be in london for the Lord's test that weekend.

That’s why I put the laughing emoji. I have an original woollen one from our first year. It’s awesome.

The one I've got from 1996 cant see a label with the materials but I thought jumpers from that era whilst sewn the material was just some sort of woven acrylic, a bit like what most beanies are still made of.

I think the jumpers changed to the more modern type of material which allowed colours to be just printed on them was in about 97?

edit - I think printed jumpers came in as early as 96 in our 2nd season, because I remember at the time finding out I had an 'old' jumper and being disappointed by that, but then ended up being thankful getting that because it was better to own an original one. It's hanging on my bedroom wall now!

3D anchor away top was (which I would kill for) 98. Not sure without detailed research if other clubs had made the jump a year earlier.

See edit above, I think we may have even changed as early as 96. The early printed ones still had the 2 front badges AFL and Hard Yakka sewn on though iirc.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I had a feeling it all perfectly aligned and, yep, Fremantle won its first derby while wearing the 3D anchor. In 1999!

Apologies for piss-pants Brodie Holland.

The club should've brought this back for the home derby. Twenty years since. Us in this, the Eagles in their yellow. What a match up.

I have a original away top no. 21 (Muir). It's impossible to ascertain whether it was made in 95, 96 or 97 though, but is definitely acrylic. It actually has no badges though (also it has what appear to be authentic Sekem tags): So I can't tell if it's a real training jumper / very good knock off (but then why Muir??) / a period when replica jumpers had no badges? / badges removed by previous owner for some reason?
I think I might have digressed a bit here.

Show off!
But seriously, safe travels & may the Aussies smash the soap dodgers

Anyone remember Star Blazers as a kid? Updated to Yamato 2199, the nautical themes, anchor outfits are
absolutely awesome.

Have one of them too. The only one I don’t have is the away jumper from 2002-whenever they changed to the purple on white as the clash/away jumper.

Mine must be 1995 then. It’s the acrylic (called it wool but it’s not) and without going and digging it out, pretty sure it has Yakka sewn on it. Interestingly I was given it by an Eagles supporter who used to frequent these boards. He said it should go to someone who appreciated it properly, rather than sit in a drawer where he could just be kind of cool with having an early Freo jumper, but generally feel neither here nor there about it. There are some good ones among their general feral supporter base. Also it’s #1 which is pretty alright and a Freo pin attached - one of those on a stick with a stopper thingy - like stud earrings.

Favourite all time. Nostalgia and just difference at the time. First jumper to own. Then got stolen and never seen since. These are rare as. That and the trident away jumper in 2001-05. Just gold jumpers and rare as.

 

[Caldera]

I’ve got an early training jumper that belonged to Gary Dhurrkay (purple with white anchor) with Yakka labeling. It was signed by Gary... but the signature washed off after the jumper mistakenly ended up in the laundry. Gutted.

Years ago pretty sure there was an auction for players' match jumpers and Brock O'Briens went for about $40, like him wearing it actually devalued the thing.
