St Kilda and ISC just go so well.

Fellas here might be able to answer a question - what's the go with player issue jerseys with no GPS pouches? Can you trust them as genuine? It seems odd that adding the GPS pouch wouldn't just be part of the manufacturing process for jerseys intended to be player issued.

For the Crows, they were training jumpers in the Reebok era as they seemed to have been done later/elsewhere.

Depends on what year. Clubs add the GPS pockets themselves.
Not all do. West Coast's guernseys come straight from Puma with the GPS pouch already sewn in. I think ISC might go the clubs without them, and they are added after.

What years would you be talking? I have a GWS collection, so am looking at ISC jerseys from 2012 on.
Unfortunately the market is flooded with them mate, they appear to come direct from factory. Obtained by retail sellers.
I think most genuine collectors would prefer the completed versions that come from the clubs, and have actually been issued for player use.

Is there somewhere to buy GPS devices, the same ones used by players?
What do the players use?
What do the players use?
Hey mate! GWS have always used GPS pockets at AFL level on their GPS pockets. If you find ones that do not have the pockets then they were manufactured at the factory in preparation for club/player use. Once the club requests the jumper from ISC they would sew in the pouch and send it to the club. They are still made to the exact specs of the player and are exactly the same as what the players would wear on field minus the GPS. Most ISC clubs this season have opted to go without the pocket and are instead wearing the GPS bra underneath the jumper depending on player preference (Stephen Hill was the only Freo player to be wearing a pocket last weekend). Other manufacturers are different and most come pre sewn before getting to the club.
In summary, as a collector I would not pay as much for a pocketless ISC jumper pre 2016, this season you'll be looking at higher prices being they will be exactly the same and the odd GPS pocketed one may be worth even more if the player is known to prefer the pocket over the bra!
Hope that helps

Absolutely does, thanks a bunch. Being learned in ISC and GWS matters, can you shed any light on alleged white cuffed prototypes? I trust you've seen them on eBay, they look questionable to me.
Their pretty much just what you said, prototypes. I don't know wether the clubs requested the samples or if ISC just decided to make them up to show the clubs what they looked like but yeah they are just samples of what they would look like with white cuffs. Odds are they weren't it to the players specific body types either more likely a generic size but could be wrong about that. Still collectable jumpers as there are very few of them around
Have kept an eye out for one of these for about ten years. Popped up and I couldn't say no for the price.
Am not a huge rugby league fan but I am definatly a one eyed sandgroper.
Western Reds 1996 jersey.
so if you've been looking for one for ages, I would assume to add to the western Australian sports memorabilia, then why is it for sale??
Every man has a price
I know my footy club, we use VX Sports GPS's. I'd say that the AFL ones aren't an out the box GPS though, probably looking around 2-3k per unit. Catapult make some good consumer end devices though

Do you know why the clubs wearing ISC jumpers have gone away from the stitched-in pocket? Is it a comfort or a cost thing?

I have a few, aside of the retail jerseys I have 20 either match worn or player issue. I can post some pictures of my favourites, just new to this forum so might take some head scratching to upload them.
I was going to reply to your post about the 'prototype' Kia jersey, I have one of those from the same source. Thought I had been done outright, but recently came across this, which looks 100% genuine to me.

Wasn't the Kia sponsor fake? I think we had something similar like this ages ago.

The one pictured above is completely different. If it is not genuine it is a spectacularly successful fake - the material is right, the colours are right, the cut is right, the collar is right, the logos are right...
The one pictured below is the strongly suspected fake that was on here some time ago. The material in this has a very different feel (and much lighter weight), the blue it too pale, the cut is different to any Giants jerseys ISC ever produced, the collar and cuffs are wrong, and the AFL logo is missing the (R) under the L. This one doesn't have the Kia sponsor on the back.
I had heard rumours that the AFL (i.e. AD) tried to talk Kia into sponsoring the Giants and not Essendon. From what I can gather, the Giant's Skoda deal predates the Bomber's Kia deal by 12 months. Not sure how plausible the rumours are.

one of the boys at footy turned up with a worn Shuey training jumper last night with the gps stitching etc.. turns out it's one of an entire bag of them that the eagles donated to a friends work. probably shows why they are so hard to find.
has an entire bag of these ones... sorry about the ball grab
