From what I've seen we were more like VFL.

Central District during the 80's wore a strip that was a little unconventional.
Predominantly white with thin red and blue stripes from the left shoulder down, very English soccer style.

Centrals played again in the 1980's style for a game in 2007. Do believe the club auctioned off each player guernsey.
Innaloo Footy Club used to wear an inverse of that South Freo jumper - not if they still do...
really miss the the blue east freo jumper with the shark that was worn up until just a few years back. The current one is pretty p*** poor, they've tried to style it like the jumper of the 70's/80's but have stuffed it up big time, too much white and the font for the 'effc' emblem looks very tacky, like someones just typed the letters on micrsoft notepad or something.
Looks like North have sent Werribee in CCC's direction.
No jumpers as far as I'm aware though.

Nah that was so bad. The mismatched back was one of the worst you could ever see as well... it'd be if the Royal wings backed onto the tripanel.
each to their own i guess

Was a carbon copy of the Bulldogs' preseason/night competition jumper back then.
Centrals used to wear Bulldogs jumpers when they first started - pretty sure their first jumper was what Footscray are wearing now.
Centrals wore a set of Jumpers in there first year that were used and donated by Footscray
Who used it first: Footscray or Central District do you know? Being SA-centric, I always assumed Centrals had it first.
Edit: I'm talking about the white with vertical stripes jumper

Footscray I'm pretty sure as Centrals didn't start using the hoops until later 80s early 90s.

Footscray had the white version in 1979 then wore an inverse of the same design in 1980
That would have been difficult to watch at times. Is that the "Demon" team's main or clash jumper? If the latter, you'd have to ask; why bother?Had this genius match up of jumpers in the TSL on Saturday, all navy blue vs a solid navy blue back. Very confusing at times.

Seriously?
Talk about the clash of all clashes!
Imagine the AFL logic applying to the Premier League....
"Man Utd and Liverpool are part of the Big 4 and thus do not clash"
Away team of Sunderland and Southampton just wears white shorts because white shorts always solves clashes.

Last night West Brom (all-white with navy stripes) faced Sunderland (white with red stripes, black shorts). Terrible.

Centrals introduced the white jumper as their regular kit in 1979, the hoops replaced that strip in 1992.
And yes, Footscray did supply the inaugural kits in 1959, with the white jumper referred to above being their pre-season jumper in 1979. With one notable difference, there was a blue upper half around the player number on the back. The following season, they used the same design but was predominantly blue with red and white stripes on one side.
Had to check out Mero's jumpers site for that info.

Would they actually need one?
Redland also wear white so I assumed they would. I've seen photos of Redland wearing one against them but not the other way round.
I did end up finding this but it's obviously an old photo.
