Colourful Football Jumpers
AFL Clubs do not always wear their traditional colours .
Sometimes they might wear a different coloured jumper to mark a special occasion.
Some might do it just for the money.
Several years ago Carlton Blues wore a yellow jumper to launch the new M & M ( mars lolly)amid much fanfare and as a unique advertising ploy.
It generated a lot of interest and gave the club revenue. Those jumpers , jerseys , guernseys are highly sought today by fans and collectors alike.
Spotted recently at Goschs Paddock in inner Melbourne were Collingwood Magpies training in a light blue football jumper jersey guernsey .
The Brisbane Lions have been known to wear red . ( Perhaps as a reaction to seeing red at some of Fevola’s antics!)
Sighted last week at a major sporting goods oultet were St Kilda Saints jumpers jerseys guernseys in lime green and fluoro pink .The tag said training jumper .
Perhaps teams will adopt these specially coloured jumpers again .
Tonights match at the MCG between Western Bulldogs and Melbourne Demons is a pink fundraiser for breast cancer research .
Next year will we see Barry Hall in pink !
