Carlton to embark on 160th year celebration

Blues seek to recognise key moments and people from 160-year history.

The celebration will see the Club execute a number of activations and key moments of recognition throughout this year.
To mark this momentous occasion, the Club will induct into its coveted Hall of Fame a distinguished group of footballers from the late 19th and early 20thcenturies, who each played a pivotal role in shaping Carlton’s identity.

Founded in 1864, Carlton is one of the oldest sporting institutions, from as far back as the days of the Challenge Cup, VFA and early VFL. Indeed, the Club’s rich tapestry was woven by those who were either part of or laid the foundations for future on-field and off-field successes.

Another write up on the launch…

"With the festivities starting to wrap up around lunchtime, in came a few surprise late arrivals. Unbeknownst to many in the room, Jackson had decided to follow the morning with a meal to celebrate his 80th birthday, opting to dine at the same restaurant the event had been held at.

And so, in walked a series of Carlton's premiership greats of the 1970s – Geoff Southby, Percy Jones and Robert Walls among them – to celebrate their great mate. It was a slightly crazy and unexpected, though fitting way to end the morning."

Best Carlton look ever was Mil Hanna in the long sleeves with the popped collar.

Hopefully they can release a new hardback book

Illustrated History of The Carlton Football club​

It would be cool to have a small picture of every player who played for the club and full color photos of greats plus flag team make it happen. I would like something similar like this.

The AFL logo and sponsor logo is retro as well.
