Yeah, I see Gibbsy thought of that one too.
Really, once the Folder Headings are decided, the jumpers are drawn, so it's just the demarcation of what is what.
For instance:
Is this an Anniversary jumper, celebrating their first game, or is it a Retro jumper, in the 1991 design?
There's other that fall into multiple categories as well.

I would say this is an anniversary jumper. There seems to be a number of criteria it could meet such as:
- Does it have an anniversary logo? (Yes)
- Does it acknowledge anniversary date? (Yes)
- Was it worn in an anniversary year? (Yes)
- Was its purpose to be a retro jumper or an anniversary jumper? (anniversary)
Fremantle is probably a good example of where you can differentiate. I would say the 2019 anchor is an anniversary jumper because it was worn in an anniversary year and that was its purpose. The others since have specifically been worn for "retro round" so they're obviously retro jumpers.
That Crows logo is the perfect example of why I think an anniversary logo section is a good idea. You can't find that anywhere.
The 2003 North Melb heritage jumper http://www.footyjumpers.com/kangaroosheritage.htm doesn’t have the correct heritage AFL logo like the full uniform from the same game has http://www.footyjumpers.com/2003R19.htm.

Continuous improvement is possibly neverending now that sponsor logos are on the site. I love it, but I'll always find something to update!
West Coast 1987
The proportions are a bit off with the league / sponsor logos.
Perhaps most noticeable is the kerning and font on the Eagles logo, which I feel has always been a little off on some of the early jumpers on FJ.com. It should look more like this:
Finally, the VFL logo is a lot more pronounced than what you have – it's bigger, with a thicker white outline, and is curved all the way around, not with a flat bottom like how you have currently. I'm yet to determine if this is the same for all other clubs of the era, but if so, this is obviously quite a massive change (covers off ~15 years of guernseys across every club) so I understand if you don't get to it for a while.

West Coast gold 1988
Using what appears to be a felt eagle, the colour was definitely darker than that of the wings... the Eagles text still has the tighter kerning as mentioned above. VFL logo size appears right this time, but still needs to be the rounded finish (not the straight bottom). SGIO logo white space is much larger.
West Coast blue 1988-89
VFL logo and SGIO logo as per above. Eagles logo is still the tighter, screenprinted version.
West Coast 1990
SGIO change and tighter Eagles text. What can only be described as a 'puffy' new AFL logo, with heaps of space below the football.
West Coast 1991 home
SGIO change and tighter Eagles text. More well-known 90s AFL logo appears (darker blue, thinner outline than what you have).
West Coast 1991 away
Doesn't exist on the site.
Darker blue AFL logo and tighter Eagles text, plus obviously the Hungry Jack's logo. Not sure if the gap between the Eagle head and text was specific to the away (HJ's) version, would need further proof.
West Coast GF 1991
Probably reasonable proof that the distance between the eagle head and text in the previous pic was an anomaly. You can quite clearly see the outline of the shield AFL logo on this 1991 GF jumper, which indicates it was used for away games during the 1991 season. Usual updates to Eagles text and logo proportions apply here too.

The sponsors was slightly different spot for each player almost the same spot. Rob has done a great job in my view. with putting the sponsors where they are. Rob has it right, on one player the sponsor is slightly moved to our right. I say Rob has it right. JMO Rob awesome website you do a great job. take care mero.Continuous improvement is possibly neverending now that sponsor logos are on the site. I love it, but I'll always find something to update!
