Portfolio VFA Jumpers (by West_Coast_Eagles)

[finders]

You will find the the VFA logos from the 1970s were a copy of the NFL USA one that is still in use today.

Long before the AFL/VFL copied them in the 1990s.The VFL/AFL were squared off at the top the same as the current VFL logo.

I will start with the modern day teams and work my way back.
Bendigo Gold


Box Hill Hawks


Port Melbourne Borough


Sandringham Zebras

 

[Civilest]

I am pretty sure Henley did sponsor Werribee at some stage.

Alleged Essendon A jumper from Capstan Cigarettes series.

 

[Civilest]

The 1913 Capstan cigarette cards incluing VFL, VFA, Ballarat and Bendigo clubs.

Mero might have a more informed opinion but aside from the obvious Essendon Bombers and Collingwood, none of the other VFA/VFL strips match up with what I have seen/read over the years.

From Left to right

I still maintain the Bendigo one is a stinker

Coburg Tigers (Current day VFL Uniform)

 

[Omegaville]

Capstan cards don't show the real guernseys.

I remember reading on this board - so it was probably from Mero - that the Capstan cards were drawn and inked in Germany. The artists were provided with a list of club names and colours, but not designs, so they interpreted them as they saw fit.

Thanks Omegaville that explains the inconsistencies. 1913 was on the cusp of WW1, they probably wouldn't have got the gig after war was declared.

[nicko99]

With werribee in the VFL they also wear a blue alternative strip which replaces the black.

 

[wizardwaffle]

Werribee wore the blue jumper as a clash strip a few years ago, when they were associated with the Western Bulldogs. I didn't include it in history because only four uniform sets fit in.

 

[wizardwaffle]

Here are a few new ones

Dandenong Redlegs (added different short colours)


Oakleigh Oaks


Sunshine Crows


Williamstown Seagulls (History of their club uniform)

 

[Civilest]

Great pick up with the early willy strip with the horizontal yellow hoop.
