I traced the South Willy monogram & YArraville logo, just to clean them up a bit.
Is that an official club monogram? Or created for the project?
The Yarraville Eagle is the Eagle logo from the jumper, about the time when Denis Pagan was coach. I had the picture on file so I thought I would use it as a background picture.
The SW South Williamstown logo is actually a WS Western Suburbs logo from Sydney. Some people used it on this site when they were designing logos for the new team from Western Sydney back in the early 2010's. As there wasn't an logo for South Williamstown I used WS logo to represent the S and W for South Williamstown. The logo has a historical feel to it which suits a club from the 1890's.
Prahran's monogram was originally more complicated. (1939)

Wizard, you've done a great job on these but I think the new detail you've added (the large background logos) detracts from the overall look.
I find the logos very distracting and feel they take the focus away from where it should be... i.e. the jumpers.
The main focus of the pictures are the jumpers, but the logos behind add security to my images by making them less easy to copy. I have Googled the names of former VFA Clubs trying to find some pictures of jumpers. But I find many of my images in the search results. The logos in the background make the images harder to copy, and quickly identify the images as being produced by me.
For future images I will try to use less colours in the background images, allowing for the jumpers to be the main focus of the image. Here is an example of a new image for Yarraville.
Just uncovered this article from the VFA Recorder in 1975 - outlines all the new shorts colours worn from that season due to colour TV being introduced. It also gives us a date when the Box Hill jumper changed from the V to the tri-panel and Northcote changed from a yoke to stripes:

wizardwaffle after comparing all of the above info to your images there is just one edit required: the Box Hill tri-panel jumper with black shorts wasn't worn... everything else = spot on
