Discussion Strange or Interesting AFL Photos

Crawf's jumper with no logo.

Puma must have had some serious quality control issues around 2004. Three examples alone with logos blatantly missing/wrongly positioned on guernseys. The AFL would have a field day handing out fines if this happened these days.

Remember when BLK forgot the AFL logo? Me neither, BLK>Puma.

Thread seriously lacks Jack Grimes in a tub with a pony (rip frank)

This would go well in one of those 'find the difference' games, I know I missed it at first.

I know what the focal point of the photo is... but is that a gash or bird s**t in his hair?

The embroidered Mitsubishi logo though...

This is awesome! A really interesting take on the prison bars, and in a way a design that would be somewhat revisited in the late-90s Swans pre-season jumper (although I'm sure the designers of the time had no idea about this existing concept... none of us did until now!)

Interesting to hear the classic white with red vee described as "anaemic" too. Not the sort of word usually aligned with clothing or apparel

What is the publication Mero?

What is the publication Mero?

Football Life July 1968.
From what I've found, they gradually introduced the new material, with a majority of players wearing the old wool style, with button up collars until 1977, by which time the vee neck collar on the acrylic jumpers had become more prominent.

That's obviously a painted B&W photo, and is most likely the art department's interpretation of a description from someone else.
So I'd say something more in line with the Port Adelaide jumpers of the time, in Red would have been more likely.

Brisbane and Freo playing a practice match at Victoria Park in March 2002. Such an odd venue – out of use in the AFL and thousands of kilometres away from both teams' home grounds...

Early 2000s photos always seem to have so much colour.

Looking over the fixture it looks like the AFL wanted all games completed on the Saturday. West Coast hosted North at Subiaco that day and the 'gabba was still being used for cricket, but that doesn't explain why one of their training grounds couldn't be used.

I... I don't want to know

The Bont and the package

"Mum says I can't play"

Apparently this is a smother. I think they're just having a bit too much fun.

It was at this moment Scott knew he ****ed up.

Fila were BLK before BLK were BLK

The jumper match up

 

[Rainier Wolfcastle]

First time I saw a Melbourne Fila jumper that pink.

I reckon that's the lighting playing tricks on that photo (unlike the New Balance ones we had a couple of years back where they could never get the red to actually look red!).
