Looks good.
Is this a style I would apply to the site?
Or do we have to re-do every html page?
Or are these other types of pages?
Click to expand...

It isn't a style unfortunately, if someone knows how to do that I would be willing to give them the files for the background, logo, images etc.

With the way I have done it (in web design terms is poorly), each page world have to be redone, well the second page could be used as a template with the images and text replaced, as well as the slight adjustment for the links, for each page.

But as I said above if someone with more web skills than me want to make a proper css template then I will give them the files.

That's just absurd.

I don't think Fremantle have any of these deals. A few blokes in Adidas, a few in Asics... and Sandi wears Nike boots. In fact, the Sandilands thing is interesting: His boots were specially designed, so if the club had a contract with someone, wouldn't it be with Nike? But then why does a kid like Lachie Neale wear Asics?

I was speaking with a Fremantle FC employee last year and they had just signed a deal with Asics.

This came up because I was wearing Onitsuka Tigers and he complimented me on them then said when they had the Asics rep out at the club he asked if they got free Tigers too, but the answer was no! Haha.

I still think that its a joke that a player can't go out and buy the boots he feels he will preform best in.

I'd hate to always wear Adidas, and be forced into Puma's if I had OCD....

No idea, looks like the guy behind him has a different sponsor badge.

Could be something Sandringham Dragons wore in a match for some reason, or Xavier College.

Mero, in the interview you did for Costa's website, you maintain that Essendon have the best jumper. You say it's individual and undeniably Essendon. But it isn't. Perth Demons have worn the design for a very long time as well. I believe that Fitzroy had the best jumpers – whether it was the maroon and navy, or the lighter red and blue. No other club (bar the Bears-Lions, obviously) emulated them. They owned the design. And it still looked fantastic. So aside from Essendon, what's the best jumper design ever? And what 'traditional' guernsey is the lamest?

So you're saying that a jumper that someone else likes so much that they adopt as their own automatically means the original cannot be the best?
That makes no sense to me.
Essendon were the first team to wear a Sash in 1875. They were called the Sash Wearers for quite a while.
For the longest time it was unique. South Melb. didn't adopt a sash until 1907, and Richmond in 1914.
Perth adopted the sash in 1948. That's less than half the time Essendon has worn it.
As far as Fitzroy, Subiaco started with all Maroon, the same as Fitzroy, but they went down the path of having Gold as their secondary colour where Fitzroy went with Blue.

I guess my perspective is more based on the historical aspects as much as what I can remember personally.

However, if I had to say which design from history I like apart from Essendon, I would say Footscray's jumper they had, and returned to this year. In 1901 they had a competition to create a new jumper for Footscray as the players were wearing a combination of three different designs. They received 10 entries and it appears that none of them were chosen and the Executive came up with their own. (Sound familiar?)
However, it's the design I've always thought was the best of the rest.
Of the others, I am not a big fan of stripes and hoops, so I would say Richmond, Carlton and StKilda re the other two whose jumpers I like. I never liked South because they always looked too White. And of course, the leaves Fitzroy, which I always liked as well, and would probably sit behind Footscray all things considered.

As far as the lamest, I would fall back on the stripes, and then when Hawthorn went all Gold with Brown stripes, that probably made it the worst for me.

I'd also argue that Essendon's case is bolstered by a team in northern Tasmania not only adopting the Essendon colours in the 1890s, but for a season *renaming* themselves Essendon.

As for worst jumpers... if you were to line up every club's kit, collectively West Coast has the worst designs of all time - mainly because of really bad away and clash jumpers.

Well if we're getting to printed jumpers then yes, the Eagles are up there with the Hawks diamond thing and the Wee stain that Brisbane trotted out a few years ago. Collectively Port should not be discounted. They've had some dead set shockers (pun intended). The lightning bolt surf shirt, the wetsuit and the white thing with shapes. They're late comers, but they're doing their best to state their case.

This is what's on the Costa Design website:

"But best ever would be Essendon. Worn since about 1890, and still singularly identified as the Essendon brand. You can see a Black and White striped jersey or a Navy Blue jersey anywhere in the world and wonder if it is Collingwood, Carlton, Newcastle FC or Everton FC. But Black with a Red sash is an Essendon jumper. Has been since Albert Thurgood played for them. "

So under this logic, the thing is, it's not actually "oh, Essendon!" Because Perth wear the same design. And so do the Lake Grace Bombers.

Well I am alluding to real teams. I can't think of the last time I saw a Lake Grace jumper on some bloke at a bbq. Or Perth for that matter. Of the other styles, Navy Blue, Black & White stripes, Blue & White hoops there's always a high level club, that sells jerseys that people actually buy and wear, that already have that design. That's what I was thinking of. Fact is, StKilda & Richmond also have designs from a fair way back that are not replicated anywhere either. Though Essendon's has outdated them by 20-30 years, and for me, that's undoubtedly part of the appeal. Footscray's is reasonably unique, though Sampdoria is close, and Hawthorn, well, does anyone else in the world want Gold & Brown stripes?

Mero,

Wikipedia says:
After a visit to England by one of the club's officials, the colours of red and green were officially adopted by the club. Shortly following, the club began wearing a predominately red strip and became informally known by supporters as the "Redlegs".

Is there much basis to this claim and, if so, did Melbourne ever wear green?

I wont lie, I love Wikipedia, and often use it for study, and humor.

But it really did loose credibilty when I read that Motzart became famous after winning Eurovison in the year 3445 with his big hit "American Pie"

See, there's your problem. You should have been looking for Mozart, not Motzart. One letter makes a world of difference.
