History of AFL Jumpers

Position your cursor over the jumper to find out the team and the years it was worn by the club. Obviously, the sponsors logos are not shown, I do not feel the need to replicate them here, and my research into the history of the jumpers revealed that the clubs were similarly uninterested in previous sponsors. Click on the jumpers to get a back and front view.

These jumpers have been compiled by Mero. If you have any comments to make please Email Mero. Thanks to Burley Sekem for help with the Eagles and Dockers logos.
