And only one watermark on the photos! Will make sourcing photos for some of my jumper design swaps a whole lot easier that’s for sure.

They're in s**t resolution though; can't view full-size images anymore by the looks of things – the AFL giveth, the AFL taketh away.

Right now it's actually better to right-click and open image in new tab from the search results page. You'll get a 657px wide pic (for landscapes) with zero watermarks, as opposed to going through the individual image page itself and getting a 600px wide pic with one watermark smack bang in the middle.

May well be green but I also wonder if that's just not fading

 

[Feraligatr]

I think this qualifies as strange.

wearing a signed 2003 Grand final jumper last week.

This Playcorp Geelong 2022 premiers cap which uses Geelong Football Club is interesting, as we haven't really seen that on fan merch since 2007. But then... 'defeated Sydney Football Club'. Wtf?! Wrong on multiple levels.

Rocca in his 96 jumper with GF patch

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Pebbles didn't even play in the 1996 GF.

Strange indeed.

He ran out with the team and stood for the national anthem though

The swans reserves team known as the “North West Sydney Redbacks” competing in the AFL Sydney comp in 2001, playing in swans training jumpers.



After the AFL reserves comp finished at the end of 99, the Swans fielded the Redbacks in the local Sydney comp in 2000 but were so dominate that half way through the season, the league introduced a rule where the opposition could field an extra player on the field lol. The team withdrew before finals because of the lack of competition.

The next year Sydney started the Port Melbourne VFL affiliation and majority of their reserves players were sent to melbourne, they kept the Redbacks in the Sydney Comp as more of a development side for 01 & 02.

And 04.04.52?

 

[Mr Eagle]

And 04.04.52?

It's 08.04.52 folded in at a very unfortunate place. Still doesn't explain the unnecessary zeroes though.

While I’m on the AFL Sydney 2001 comp..cane across this footy record, looks like North Shore Bombers got a set of Essendon jumpers sent to them and put the AFL NSW/ACT patch over them.

Looks like they're playing against Brisbane Roar with the umpires in those uniforms

 

[Munners]

Reminds me of the East Coast Eagles jumper I have, AFL logo is sublimated but blank apart from that.

 

[TheGreatBambino]

And looks like St George had some sort of crows jumpers
