As many of you may recall, I created an alternity for AFL footy last year. The following is based on the first year of the AFL's Carlton Kangaroos, a merged club. This club switched it's uniforms following the renaming of the VFL to the AFL. The illustration below depicts 1989 the last year under the VFL branding.
This is clearly much different from some of the jumpers that will be worn this week in AFL footy. The league will experiment this 5th Round with player surnames on the back above the numbers but below any club insignia. The socks were modern Celtic FC inspired while the rest of the uniform is a mixture of many Carlton and North eras (in jumper history anyway). As far as a clash jumper, Brisbane's Bears were the first team to do so with their expansion in 1987 while the fellow expansion West Coast didn't do so until 1995.
