I posted this on the Footy Jumpers & Graphic Design Forum/What Footy Jumpers Do you own thread hoping to get some information about the two pictured jumpers. A few weeks now and no response. So now I brought the post across to this Forum hoping some of the local Tassie members can help. Original post shown below. So for the long winded post and new thread.

This is one for the Tassie members. I’m trying to obtain some information about these two Tasmanian jumpers. I have googled myself to death and haven’t been able to find much information or images of use for them. Information I received from the seller about the first jumper was that it was issued for use in a Tasmania Under23 game against a South Australian Amateur side in 2008. He didn’t get to use it as he was injured? As can be seen the jumper is made by Kombat and has the VFL logo. It also has the Tru Energy sponsorship logo. As far as I know this sponsorship was only used until the end of the 2007 VFL season not being renewed for 2008. I have found information which suggests this maybe a Tassie Devils jumper that was used during a Heritage type round when they played Sandringham on 7th July, 2007. The logo on the left breast says “Darryl Baldock’s Tassie Greats.” Information suggests these jumpers were available to the public for purchase after the match. Apparently the Devils wore the Tasmania Map jumper during two VFL rounds in 2006 and 2007, not sure if they did during any other season. Can anyone confirm if this is a player issue Devils jumper from 2007 or maybe a replica made for merchandising. If it is a player issue devils jumper could it have been re-used for the under23 game mentioned above. However homework suggests Tassie played WA in Devonport on 01/06/2008 and may have worn jumpers made by Cougar sports. I saw another mention of an Under23 regional squad playing against South Australia on 11/07/2008. Again I can’t confirm or find any exact info.
The next jumper I have been told by Beargrills16 and others on the TSL Board that this jumper is a TFC Under23 side jumper which played South Australia Amateur League on 11/06/2009. I’m happy with this information but again can’t find any images of it being worn in a game. I was also curious as to why white numbering were used on these jumpers as opposed to the standard gold usually seen on the Tasmania jumper. I’ve also seen white numbering on what appeared to be a 2013 TFC Under23 jumper. Can anyone advise why the white numbers were used and for how long and when they reverted back to the gold. Sorry for the long winded post
