Who first had the gold AFL logo after a premiership?
Geelong in 2008 after winning '07.

We just missed out on it -_-
That's basically the only reason I know the answer. Clearly a conspiracy against us!
Yep. It's a conspiracy. We're just doing our best to make sure no other state has gold on their jumpers.

Just watching the 1980 GF on Fox and noticed half the Collingwood players have 1980 font for their numbers and the other half have the 1981 number font...
Pretty weird with a team having two different types of fonts for numbers...looks very amateurish ...

That weirdness is just based on the current uniformity.
In years gone by the whole jumper were different on some players.
As recently as the 1970s Peter Hudson wore the same jumper in every game from 1967 to 1974
During this time Hawthorn wore 5 different variations of the stripes.
I just would have thought by 1980 things like this had gotten more 'professional' ....

There were players running around with iron on AFL logos in the early 2000's.. It took the league a good while to get professional from an attire POV.

Lol
Actually I was watching a video of an early round match from 2000 and Richo was wearing a jumper which had a regular sized AFL logo on it but it was part of a black shield the size of the old AFL logo which was then ironed over the top. That's probably what you were talking about.
As for unprofessional (or perhaps just not up to modern standards), the Dogs had the old foam stitched-on number until the end of 2006

Chicago Cubs winning the World Series yesterday has got me thinking...
- Leicester City (2015/2016 EPL premiers) - first top-flight premiership title since their formation in 1884
- Western Bulldogs (2016 AFL premiers) - first VFL-AFL premiership in 62 years
- Chicago Cubs (2016 MLB champions) - first World Series pennant in 108 years
Now what do all these teams have in common?
That's right - royal blue.
The (sometimes) mighty Melbourne Demons are now 52 years into their premiership drought so I see only one solution...

Won't that mean they're a year late and a dollar short?
Well thank goodness for Geelong, otherwise we'd be all blaming the colour 'navy' for everyone's GF droughts 
Adelaide, Carlton, Geelong and Melbourne!
West Coast wear royal in GFs, they're the exception.

That sums up our Mark Neeld era perfectly :S
Odd seeing V next to Port. Someone broke the space time continuum.I've changed the team selection page graphics.
Each club has one of these now:
Thoughts?
Maybe put W, S, Q, N for other states?
