Portfolio WAFL 2025 Emu Export Cup Rebooted

[DAT8]

New guernseys for the 9 teams if the Emu Export Cup pre-season tournament was rebooted.

The original concept saw each club revert from their traditional playing strips to more modern designs.

The revised 2025 edition will look at design with modern fabrics and sportswear technology.

Thread drops tomorrow...

First up is Claremont with a design that highlights the sunset at Cottesloe Beach. A lot of the jumpers are meant to work in the way of NBA City jerseys so they could be worn as a third kit theoretically. Back of this one would probably be majority gold to contrast with the navy home jumper.

One more team for launch day.

East Fremantle who I was lucky enough to help freshen up their Shark as a part of their rebrand late last year.

This one plays on their classic stripes with the ocean texture running through that is also used on their polos and training gear.

Next team up is Perth featuring their traditional sash and a subtle dot matrix texture of flames which is a nod to their late 90s Westar Rules era guernsey.
Also reminds me of flame grilled whoppers as they are usually sponsored by HJs lol

West Perth with the wavy sash based off their old Cardinals logo. Changing it up with multiple tones of blue and some contrasting red in the double sash.

I'd forgotten how awesome these WAFL jumpers were. I like all of them, but think Perth might narrowly win the best design, Swans runner-up.

A jumper similar in design to the Subiaco one was worn by the Tasmania Mariners in the VSFL Under 18's competition back in the 1990s.

Yes Tassie had a great Freo esque logo as well. I was lucky enough to pick up the West Perth guernsey earlier this year. Has some patches changed for school footy by the looks and the original number which was 25 by the looks stitched over. Still has the small WAFL embroidery on the front that the player issue guernseys had. From the back can also see the emu export logo behind the Kevrek patch.

South Fremantle today - the gradient style pattern resembles the roof of the old grandstand at Fremantle Oval.

Elite work so far - and when I say elite, I don’t mean “oh man that’s so elite”, I mean “this is the work of an elite level graphic designer in sports/apparel”

Proud of you, sir.

Thank you my design dad

Great work so far. Looking forward to the rest of the guernseys... could Peel's be NBA City-inspired?

 

[Freight Train]

Thank you my design dad

Always saw myself more as the older brother or cool uncle type, but I’ll take it.
