I get the feeling these weren't designed by a Tasmanian. Number two is particularly egregious for the fact that it leaves off both King Island and Flinders Island, which would be the equivalent of someone designing a guernsey with a map of Australia and leaving off Tasmania itself.

I've seen plenty of better designs on here I've even made better designs

It's got to be predominantly green surely. This would be a unique colour in the AFL. Predominantly red/maroon is too similar to Brisbane Lions.

agree has to mainly be green with marron and yellow as a highlight/accent colour if not looks too similar to Melbourne and brissy

Upon a conversation I had on Friday, which is a story deserving its own musing, I've taken some time to reflect on my designs of the past and the development of concepts as a whole. The concept and piece in question here is perhaps my most unique, and favourite ever, which has its origin in my time at school.

In the brief moments when I took Year 11 Art Design as a course, one task was to create a design inspired by various artists to choose from. I opted to follow that of Mark Gowing. His visual art style and ability to utilise conventional shapes as elements to form an overall design served as the main inspiration and at the time, I happened to be listening to the Greatest Season That Was: World Cup '99 Podcast, which I'll forever recommend to anyone. My main reason for taking the course was an affinity with graphic design, rooted in sports which has been particularly honed here. Whilst I was not alive for the 1999 World Cup, its sheer uniqueness in terms of jerseys and their designs had long left an impression on me, catalyzing this design.

Whilst I have not studied graphic design at any comparable level since it was perhaps my fondest memory of any subject taken at school. While this may not be the best thing I've ever done, the process and effort behind it at the time is the main reason why I'm so proud of it and have it in an A4 frame on my desk. While 1992 was cricket in colour, 1999 was cricket with character.

Any opinions of these designs? I'm Indonesian and grew up with these clubs, our version of Barca v Madrid, Carlton v Collingwood. The blue is from my hometown Bandung and the red is from the capital Jakarta.

Anyone happen to have a vector file (.svg, .pdf, I'll take whatever really) of the old Fremantle logo?
I'm after that wordmark more specifically but would be much appreciated!

Rip it from page 3 of this

Been working on a film poster for fun, any thoughts (considered it graphic design)?

 

[Gibbsy]

Pretty cool, just lose the Papyrus

 

[Andonis1997]

Did anyone have a less janky version of the AFL font someone created years ago?

I don't remember the little jagged edges, but I've downloaded 2 versions and neither are perfect.

EDIT: If no one has a smooth version, I can just trace it myself and have it downloadable for you all?

Just saw on twitter Essendon are looking for a graphic designer to join their Digital Team

Bulldogs today. Some ripping designs and some hideous ones too. Especially hideous is that red, blue and yellow one on young Jordan Croft (top right).

i can't find much learnt more history on old sydney names from the old ABL, would love to know as well

Sydney ABL teams ?

In the first league they had the Sydney metros, who became the Sydney wave and the parramatta patriots who became the Sydney blues…

It was suggested that I should share this post on here. My jumper display is in Mount Gambier if anyone is nearby.

 

[dsriggs]

Just wondering if any jumper experts can help me out here. I was going through some old boxes and came across this:

I vaguely remember going to the Tea Tree Plaza AFL Store with my parents as a lad & getting this, so I don't believe it's a knockoff. Problem is if it's not, I'm having trouble identifying it. This design of guernsey was worn in the pre-season from 1996-98. According to Wikipedia, Sekem manufactured the guernseys in 1996 & Adidas manufactured the guernseys in 1997 & '98. This replica guernsey, however, was manufactured by Puma.

So does anybody know if Puma had some sort of deal with either of those 2 suppliers, or even the AFL itself, to manufacture official replica guernseys on their behalf during this period? Or is this particular guernsey some sort of bootleg oddity that somehow made it to the AFL Store?

Definitely legitimate. I've seen both home and away Adelaide Crows guernseys from 1996 and 1997 with Puma retail tags.

I can't with all confidence give you the full backstory on it, but Puma did have a retail license for the AFL at the time and I believe had the contract to manufacture the Crows retail guernseys. My feeling is that it's to do with Adidas, at the time, not having the capability to make a sublimated AFL guernsey which was required for this design (debuted in the 1996 Lightning Premiership IIRC), or the club simply preferring the Puma "Coolmax" fabric compared to whatever Adidas had developed.

Pretty sure makri knows a heap about late-90s licensing stuff, he may be able to help
