By Phil Hecken as good as Jeremy Brahm
[After the brief hiatus, UW Pacific Rim Correspondent Jeremy Brahm is behind currently to bring to us the demeanour during the foe which doesn't get the lot of fool around upon Uni Watch: Australian Rules Football. we got my initial taste of this foe in the nascent days of ESPN, behind prior to No Limit Texas Hold 'Em was featured in primetime, as good as well..."Prime Time" still hadn't played the down in the NFL (or an inning for the Yankees). While we confess we never utterly accepted the sport, being the cranky in between American football as good as rugby in my mind, we did suffer examination it whenever it was upon the telly. And they've got the little unequivocally cold uniforms too. That's where Jeremy comes in. So, without further ado, let's take an in-depth demeanour as this erotically appealing foe which receives small or no airtime any some-more in the United States (although which might be changing), yet which is utterly renouned elsewhere. Enjoy! -- Phil]
As the youngster who initial got cable in 1981, ESPN during which time was the wonder since we regularly got something brand brand new upon the radio which we might have never seen before, even not upon ABCs Wide World of Sports. A number of the readers asked about Australian manners football uniforms (call them guernseys or jumpers, mate) in Jun after the posting about the striped hosiery for the single of the teams. But who can forget the thought umpire lab coats as good as hats. Sadly, right divided they demeanour identical to the unchanging officials, solely which they get to wear the hat as good as pants. They still wave the flags though.
Today, Ill give we the bit of the story as good as good have the demeanour the Australian Football League as good as their clubs. we wish to give the large thanks! to Rob Meredith as good as his website, footyjumpers.com as good as Wikipedia.
The Australian Football League (AFL) essentially dates behind to 1896, when eight clubs broke divided from the Victorian (State) Football Association, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne, St. Kilda as good as South Melbourne (now Sydney Swans). In 1897, the Victorian Football League (VFL) was created. These teams were all around the Victoria state as good as centered upon Melbourne as good as the suburbs.
In 1908, Richmond as good as University were enlargement team, yet by 1915 University had disbanded as good as left the joining with 9 teams. In 1925, Footscray (now Western Bulldogs), Hawthorn as good as North Melbourne assimilated the joining as good as these 12 teams would all remain in their stream place as good as the partial of the joining until 1982.
After the 1981 season, the South Melbourne Football Club altered to Sydney as good as became the Sydney Swans. You can see the aged Victorian Football League trademark here as good as upon the body of the swan. With the Swans move, the VFL had turn an widespread foe since Sydney is in New South Wales.
In 1987, the West Coast Eagles as good as Brisbane Bears assimilated the joining as good as thus it became the national competition.
In 1990, the joining was renamed the Australian Football League. The joining further expanded to Fremantle, dual teams in Adelaide (Port Adelaide as good as the Adelaide Crows) to the stream sixteen teams, which enclosed the partnership of the Brisbane Bears with Fitzroy to turn the Brisbane Lions.
In 1999 the AFL instituted divided or strife uniforms. This was due to the actuality which the little teams have identical designs or colors for their uniforms. Such as Essendon as good as Richmond, Essendon as good as Carlton, North Melbourne as good as Geelong, North Melbourne as good as Collingwood, Collingwood as good as Geelong, Melbourne as good as Essendon, as good as Melbourne as good as C! arlton.< /p>
Previously teams would wear white shorts to compute themselves (look during those photos again as good as we will see it). Now these swap designs have made it easier for players, officials as good as fans to compute to the teams. (But for the most partial the teams jumpers have not unequivocally altered which much, over the years.) And right divided for the teams:
Adelaide Crows, formed in Adelaide, South Australia. The Crows colors have been army blue, red as good as gold. Their army blue can crop up to be black with the light hitting it (2008 model). This years first unvaried (home) looks roughly usually the same from the front, solely for the lack of the black side panels to the bottom as good as the bullion sleeve as good as neck cuff cuffs. Also they have been good good well good known to wear striped socks. Their strife indication for this past deteriorate uses the bluster as the centerpiece with yellow as good as red panels accenting the birds shape. The Crows have the brand brand new trademark as good as the 2010 strife unvaried is white with the fierce crow.
Brisbane Lions, formed in Brisbane, Queensland, the Lions have been the combination of the Fitzroy Lions as good as Brisbane Bears in 1996 as good as proposed fool around in the 1997 season. The unvaried colors have both teams history, maroon (Brisbane Bears), blue (Fitzroy) as good as bullion (both teams). Fitzroy was formed in Victoria state as good as when the Lions fool around games there, they adopt the red, bullion as good as blue tone scheme, which was Fitzroys tone scheme. You can see upon the behind of the uniform, BBFFC or Brisbane Bears Fitzroy Football Club. Their stream first unvaried looks identical to it has over the years, yet usually with the shift in the collar. The Lions usually altered their trademark to this. And here have been their uniforms for 2010.
Carlton Blues, formed in Melbourne, Victoria as good as have been good good well good known for having an interlocking C (Carlton), F (Football) a! s good a s C (Club) upon their chest in white. Their strife jumper is white with dim blue side panels as good as the interlocking trademark in dim blue as well. Both looks to me have been classics since they have been unequivocally simple, yet distinct with the chest logo. They also wore the Livestrong special in July this past season.
Collingwood Magpies, formed in Melbourne, Victoria. Collingwood warranted their nickname since of their white as good as black stripes which mirrored which of the magpie. Their first unvaried as good as strife unvaried have been counterpart images. The first unvaried is some-more black, while the strife is some-more white. Surprisingly the Magpies do not wear striped socks. we would identical to to see the opposite pattern for the strife unvaried usually so which it is unequivocally different. Like this the single from 2002. Even Collingwood as good as Carlton have had problems with the identical uniforms in the past.
Essendon Bombers, formed in Melbourne, Victoria, have regularly had the red cincture from the left shoulder to the right hip upon their black tops as good as striped socks. Their strife unvaried looks similar, usually with the wider cincture as the diagonal line. What is funny yet is which when they face Richmond, identical pattern yet with the yellow sash, they have to write the letter to the AFL says which Richmonds unvaried clashes. Maybe they could wear the white unvaried with the red sash?
Fremantle, formed in Fremantle, Western Australia, have the purple, red as good as immature tone scheme. Paul would consider which it would demeanour horrible, yet the first unvaried looks flattering decent since the white anchor separates the other 3 colors. But the behind looks weird with the red as good as immature sections interlude so high. If they went all purple upon the back, which would have been fine. The strife unvaried is white with the purple anchor. Very simple, yet keeps the anchor the same as the primary, usually in the opposite color. Original! ly the n ickname of the organisation was the Dockers yet Levi Strauss & Co. challenged the bar since of their Dockers brand (now not the partial of Levi Strauss). After the 1997 season, Dockers was dropped officially, yet it still an unaccepted nickname from the fans.
Geelong Cats, formed in Geelong, the suburb southwest of Melbourne, have been good good well good known for their army blue straight lines (hoops) upon the white uniform. Their first unvaried is identical to their historical colors. Also the Cats have ragged striped socks. But with an key of the brand brand new trademark in 2008, the Cats made their strife unvaried demeanour identical to their logo. we unequivocally identical to this strife demeanour since it is the majority tone as good as the striking looks cool. For the 150th anniversary of the team, combined in 1859, Geelong wore the special jumper with the names of all of the players, in all years, for the Round sixteen diversion upon July 18th, 2009.
Hawthorn Hawks, formed in Melbourne, Victoria, have been good good well good known for their yellow as good as brownish-red plumb striped uniforms. Sometimes the Hawks wear striped hosiery as well. Their strife unvaried is formed upon their organisation logo, yet with small yellow in the design. Personally we am not the air blower of the yellow as good as brownish-red tone intrigue as good as cite the strife unvaried to the first strip.
Melbourne Demons have been good good well good known for having the army blue bottom with the red V border for their first uniform. This year (2009) the Demons have introduced the red strife unvaried with the delegate Demon logo, in army blue. we identical to the look, which is most improved than their strife unvaried from 2008.
North Melbourne Kangaroos have been good good well good known for their royal blue as good as white straight stripes. The strife unvaried which they have been using has been called Argentina stripes for good reason. Still not as bad as this the single in 2000 as ! the a si ngle off with Orange cellular service. For their unchanging unvaried in 2000, usually shift the orange to the light blue as good as there we go.
Port Adelaide Power, formed in Adelaide, South Australia have the white, silver, black as good as teal tone scheme. Can anyone say San Jose Sharks? The first unvaried is good atrocious, teal chest, black torso, frazzled white as good as black lines. Hell this strife unvaried from 2003 looks improved than what their first unvaried looks like. The 1870 upon the behind of the neck is when the organisation was combined (as the club, not when they entered the AFL which was in 1997). Their stream strife unvaried in white with the sash-like teal as good as black looks nice. The all teal behind could be improved in white with teal numbers. This week the Power announced finish shift in their jumper designs, an present classic as good as they have been designed by the 7-year old, brilliant!
Richmond Tigers, formed in Melbourne, Victoria, have been good good well good known for their black unvaried with the yellow cincture from the left shoulder to the right hip. The strife unvaried had additional yellow side panels. They could do the white strife unvaried with the yellow cincture couldnt they?
St. Kilda Saints, formed in Melbourne, Victoria have been the single of the difficult fitness teams in AFL story with usually the single premiership (Grand Final win) in 1966 as good as the single of the few teams in the universe which have had the stick figure for their mascot. The Saints have the red, white as good as black tone scheme, which is shown in 3 panels for their first unvaried as good as even 3 colored striped socks!! Their strife unvaried has the far-reaching white row as good as the white behind to make white the predominant tone for the uniform.
Sydney Swans have been the usually organisation in New South Wales, have the white bottom with the red V border with the outline of the Sydney Opera House during the bottom of the V. The Swans also wea! r stripe d socks. Furthermore, upon the behind of the uniform, we see SMFC for South Melbourne Football Club, which was where the organisation was formed prior to moving to Sydney.
West Coast Eagles, formed in Perth, Western Australia, have the army blue, white as good as bullion tone scheme. The Eagles have the 3 row first unvaried with the Eagle conduct trademark in the center of the chest. we would cite which the complete trademark be summarized in white since the behind gets mislaid in the army blue. Their strife unvaried is formed upon their original home uniform, with white additions yet with the stream Eagle conduct logo. This week we found which the Eagles had altered their strife jumper for the 2010 season. Dont these demeanour identical to the strife jumpers of Adelaide?
Last is the Western Bulldogs, formed in the Western suburbs of Melbourne. The Bulldogs have the red, white as good as blue tone scheme. In Westerns prior story as the Footscray Bulldogs, had the story of blue tip with the far-reaching red plane stripe summarized with white lines. Western has the single after another the demeanour with the first uniform, yet added the Bulldog conduct upon the bottom white line. The bulldogs ear is summarized in red, while the line to the eyes is blue, where the line comes from. we would identical to to see the blue or red outline for the numbers upon the back, instead of this. Also notice the FFC for Footscray Football Club. The Bulldogs strife unvaried is white based, with the red plane line as good as the blue plane line as good as the Bulldog conduct trademark in the middle. The behind does have an outline in white upon the plane lines. we identical to how the trademark is incorporated in to the unvaried upon both first as good as strife versions.
Also Australian Football from time to time has the little special events as good as special uniforms, such as the Indigenous All-Stars team, with the boomerang as good as roughly even the smiling face with the logos looking identical to eye! s. And t he Legends match from 2007.
Now with ESPNs agreement with the AFL, we can watch the AFL again upon radio without the pay-per-view subscription. So lay back, put the shrimp upon the barby as good as toast the Fosters to the truly Australian game.
~~~Phil here. Thanks Jeremy, for which erotically appealing demeanour footy down under.

If we didnt catch Thursdays criticism thread, we might have longed for this small descant from Beardface:
You know what would be the fun plan Coming up with the list of the most appropriate probable unvaried for any organisation in the NFL. Use any unvaried in their past as good as choose the most appropriate one. now, of course, youd have teams identical to Carolina where we have the default, yet which would be the fun project, dont we think?
A couple people played along, yet this suspicion never generated any real legs. But the essentially the good suggestion for the project. Only, instead of tying it to the NFL, lets embody all the major sports. OK, hockey too. So, in the comments below, consider of your the a single preferred organisation in any foe as good as consider behind (or, forward) upon what was the biggest unvaried set which organisation ever had. Is it the stream one? Or is it something from way behind when? Lets see what we can come up with. To get this started, we had dual suggestions from Thursday Ill repost here as examples of the most appropriate uni set the organisation ever wore: Saints as good as Lions. Gotta say, those have been both gorgeous unis as good as likely good possibilities for the most appropriate uni set the organisation has ever worn.
What say you, readers? Pick the foe as good as post the pic (or if we cant figure out how to post the link), report the ! year(s) the organisation wore the certain style of uniform.
Kudos to Beardface for the suggestion!

As most of we have been aware, yet the rest of we have been notRicko as good as Teebz have been in the process of organizing what theyre calling the Winter Classic as good as theyre hoping to turn it in to what could be the unequivocally really fun eventuality for any as good as all meddlesome Uni Watchers. Ill let Rick report it:
~~~Even as we speak, Teebz (he of Winnipeg as good as Hockey Blog In Canada) as good as we (Ricko) have been beginning skeleton for the initial Uni Watch Winter Classic, the entertainment here in the Twin Cities in January.
Paul might attend. Hes deliberating covering Pond Hockey as good as other things with ESPN. Im assisting him with the list of story possibilities, together with an interview with Ray Crump, who purportedly fashioned the initial flapped batting helmet, for Earl Battey of the Twins (Crump owns the souvenir shop/baseball museum pool corner from the Metrodome). Perhaps the Vintage Minnesota Hockey Jerseys folks? Maybe the little curling?
Were talking Jan 22-23-24, 2009 to be precise, during which not one, yet TWO Pond Hockey Championships have been scheduled.
U.S. Pond Hockey Championships upon Lake Nokomis near Mall of America.
North American Pond Hockey Championships upon Lake Minnetonka, in the far horse opera suburb.
Saturday the 23rd is Hockey Day in Minnesota
Also possible
Minnesota Wild contra Detroit Red Wings, Thursday the 21st during St. Pauls Xcel Energy Center. Wild is the difficult ticket.
Minnesota Timberwolves contra New Orleans Hornets (not, unfortunately, in their Mardi Gras unis), Friday the 22nd during Minneapolis Target Center. Speci! al upon tickets, $20, together with the little kind of vintage t-shirt.
Wild contra Columbus Blue Jackets, Saturday the 23rd during the X with Hockey Day in Minnesota patch giveaway. Not as difficult as Thursdays Red Wings game, yet still tough.
Possibility of NFC Championship during Metrodome which week end (said possibility, lol). Tickets flattering most impossible yet we could tailgate.
Teebz cant get any info upon road house organisation rates until we have the little thought of how most bedrooms good need. The most appropriate gamble right divided is which good focus upon the Lake Nokomis Tournament. Its older, has some-more rinks as good as teams, as good as is the bit some-more whimsical, perhaps. Plenty of places to eat in the neighborhood, together with the pair of joints which explain the Juicy Lucy as their signature snack as good as another with fabulous pizza.
Lodgings would then likely be in the area of the airport./Mall of America. That means easy light rail connections to the airport, the mall as good as downtown (Target Center for Wolves as good as Metrodome).
When the time comes, possibly Teebz as good as we can handle bedrooms as good as tickets by our PayPal accounts.
So far we have half dozen or so locals committed, as good as Teebz as good as rpm (Robert Marshall) from out-of-town, as good as Phil is working upon ways to precedence the little of his estate early so which he can swing it, too.
For now, wed identical to the little feel for who would be interested. Any some-more form Chicago? Wisconsin? Hey, the Teebz, Grand Poobah of the UW Hockey Wing, as good as with any luck, the beautiful Mr. Marshall, Phil, as good as maybe even our Fearless Leader/Founder.
Some links:
Lake Nokomis
Lake Minnetonka
Vintage Minnesota Hockey
Curling
Crumps. Baseball Museum
Elsies, voted Twin Cities most appropriate bowling (near downtown)
So post if youre meddlesome email me as good as we or Teebz will be in! touch.< /p>
Looking brazen to assembly as most of we as possible,
Ricko
