Discussion Question and Answer Thread

Yo could get online and find one of those Chinese places that embroider patches.
You might have to buy 10 or 20, but it will cost less than getting one made in Aus.
I have the artwork if you find someone.
You could start here:

There's quite a few a 1 piece minimum order so I might try them.
What would we do without China?

I recently found a Collingwood barcode jumper, without a collar. Some of you have seen my barcode jumper which is exactly the same as above except it has a collar flap and no number
I'm wondering if players had the option of having collar flaps on their jumpers or not, just to verify that mine is a PI for sure

It's possible the jumper may have come like that from puma or Sav may not have liked the collar and asked to have it removed.

makri, just wondering, the Swooping Magpie jumper. Mine has the Primus sponsor on the front but I have only ever seen the TAC sponsor on the front. Is mine legit?

I can answer that, Primus was our sponsor in from 1998-2001 and we first wore the swooping magpie jumper during the 2001 Ansett Pre-Season Cup. So yes, it's legit

Thanks, Gibbsey. Appreciate it.

With the influx of fakes on ebay at the moment I was a bit worried.

Thanks Makri!

I'm sorry, it was too good to pass up.

Ok guys, i posted this in the Creat a guernsey thread, but realised asking it here would be better. So I've made a design in paint. Is it at all possible to add textures to the said design in either Paint.Net or Gimp without the design being washed out. For example, I added the texture as a layer to a black based design, merged the layers (merge down I think) and it finished up with being a very light grey. I tried fiddling with options but it either had the same effect, gave the negative of the colour or didn't appear. Help?

 

[cannavo]

Doesn't look like it'll happen.

Thanks Doc for the Poll Prefix!

Not a guernsey but found these at Savers. they have Ian Stewarts signature printed on them. Would they be worth anything? Im assuming they are just normal retail boots of the time and probably have no real value.

i've seen a few old north jumpers with the first AFL logo and a small fosters logo sitting half over and half above it. Was this from some fosters or international cup?

More likely from an International game, sponsored by Fosters.
They are most likely jumpers sold at the game though, not necessarily jumpers used in the game itself.

 

[Shaunyk]

Looked into that, but it seems that North never went O/S while the first AFL logo was being used.

Nothing between 1987 & 2006

I've had two of them (both North and both purchased O/S) and never worked out where they came from. Was hoping a Kangas fan could shed some light on it.

any idea what a 1997 port adelaide away jumper with tags in good cond. is worth? no number on it.

A fair bit, get it if you can.

sorry for a really basic question, but I've read the first 20 pages of this thread to no avail....

what year did the teams switch from acrylic to polyester jumpers? was it done by every team at the same time or was it gradual?

From what I assume, it was gradual. Not sure the time frame though.

1995 saw the first printed jumpers, in the preseason comp.
During that year, especially early that year, some players wore them in warmer weather, though usually not the whole team.
By 1997-98 most teams had adopted them and were using them each week.
This was when the first apparel manufacturer sponsorships were used.

Following on from that, Collingwood's 2000 home jumper was the last non-printed jumper in the AFL.

Gibbsy the game on foxtel ATM dogs v cats from 06. All the dogs jumpers have sewn on numbers. Looks shit!

cool. I'd narrowed it down to 96/97.... but was getting confused, as going by pictures, its a mixed bag. cheers

Yep, last team to move to sublimated numbers in 2007

So, is this a retail or they started printing late 2000?

The only thing non-printed is the adidas patch at the bottom

Mero since 2011, North Melbourne wear side panels on all jumpers, including the Debt Reduction one, that are made out of liquid titanium. Did you want a pic of the material used on the side panel on my PI?

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Liquid titanium fabric? Isn't that more of an equestrian thing?
