I was surprised at the lack of protective packaging within the box. Thought it could be susceptible to breakages. At least you now have a nice display piece if you can just hide where the handle was.

Or if you are able to remove the remains of where the handle was, it would make a fantastic nuts and bolts holder for the shed, or a paintbrush holder, napkin holder, maybe even a pot for a small plant

Couldn't help but notice when they were showing old Garry Lyon highlights on the Front Bar tonight that there was an 80s VFL game between Geelong and Melbourne where both teams were rocking the navy blue shorts. Was this sort of nonsense common back in the day?

Back in the mid 80s club would wear their Home shorts unless they were Away and had the same colour as the Home team.
Melbourne were Royal Blue when this rule came in, and when they switched to Navy in 1987 the VFL never updated their policy.
So Melbourne played against Geelong and Carlton in Navy shorts on occasions.
I remember them wearing White shorts at the WACA one night against West Coast (Royal Blue) and not against Richmond the week after, even though clubs with Black or Navy shorts wore White against each other.

Well, it's good to see that the AFL/VFL have been consistently clueless in this regard for quite a while, gives a nice sense of continuity

The 2019 Season pages are now uploaded.
Every game so far, and the uniforms worn in them.
http://footyjumpers.com/2019.htm

Team pages for finalists will be added once they are eliminated.
 
Hey Mero, not sure if you've forgotten/didn't realise/been too busy ect. But in the "one off/promo jumpers" folder, you don't have the crows eddie betts guernsey and the geelong 2019 retro round guernsey.
Forget the Eddie Betts one, I didn't realise they didn't play in it haha
 
Geelong Retro Round should be there now. Thanks.
I forgot to upload it once it was worn.

Just a couple of minor edits:

The collar is different to the standard home jumper, with a full 'V' shape and panel, and no 'G'

There's a faux-wool effect on the hoops, which (depending on the lighting) can appear as more of cream than white

The back has traditional-style cuffs rather than the standard CO template, and also a number panel separating the faux-wool and standard white

With Geelong, the collar is the same layout as the 2018 one, not a flat V like you have now.

And the Geelong logo is not the traditional shelf shape, it has a more rounded point at the bottom.
