Perhaps if you went back and read the thread you'd find it. There are even videos.

Re: VFA Jumpers
If you want to talk legendary rivalry, try the VFA/VFL's Port Melbourne and Williamstown. I would go as far as saying no other rivalry in the country has as much history or spite behind it.
The last chapter in the tail was a beauty. Port completes an undefeated season (first in 93 years) by rolling Williamstown in the big one.
Plus there will be another interesting chapter... in Round 7 this year, Williamstown will play their first game at home since August 2010 (after ground/grandstand renovations)... and it will be against Port Melbourne
However, in a way of agreeing with ADoseOfCrows, it should be said that the VFL/AFL is distorting history. Not Victoria as a whole, because the large and proud VFA history is largely being ignored by the AFL.

Unfortunately the game has been switched to North Port Oval as Williamstowns's ground upgrade is not finished.
Still should be a ripper.

In the late 60's & 70,s Werribee wore Black with a yellow sash just like Richmond.Then in the 80's when they didn't want to be like Richmond, they went the reverse, being Yellow with a black sash& red cuffs and collar ( wrong ), I wore it in the thirds.then they introduced the W jumper, but original one had red on top of the yellow W ,,,then when Michael Turner coached in the late 80's they removed the red, which is the same jumper they won the flag in 1993,,,, just some useless trivia lol

Sounds like you played when the vfa sunk like a ship late 80's early 90's :-( what was it like? Must have been tough teams dropping out of seasons after 3 rounds.
If there is anything you can add that would be great!
Does anyone know what the writing on the back of the port melbourne jumper was ( fred cook days)

Yes, it all happened so quick , probably when Geelong West folded, that showed there was more money in the local leagues. I actually remember Caulfield wearing north Melbourne jumpers. Also when the VFA teams became VFL , which became Afl reserves, it lost the passion for the crowds, for example instead of seeing the best footballers that your local town can produce on a Sunday, you ended up watching players you didn't know, had never lived in your town or suburb. The only reason they were there, is because an AFL team had recruited him from interstate, and he had taken the place of a local kid. After originally wearing St Kilda jumpers, Frankston were all Black, with a thin red and white vertical stripe on the left hand side. ,,, all coming out now lol,
Some good memorys of playing VFA was, we used Ross Faulkner footys, very pointy and hard, so you would only kick torpedos in the first half, in fear of breaking your foot lol until the ball. Was kicked in , also they were no wings, 16 a side , so very open, we kicked 20 goals in a final once and still lost .
It was an electrical company I think, JVC or NEC something short like that.

Only "gripe" is the template. These jumpers, by and large, should have straight sides. Collars too, for that matter, but that's up to you.

Nah not what I meant about the collar - I meant, in the past, VFA jumpers had a proper shirt-like collar. You know, in the old days before plastic jumpers.
