1996 Brisbane Bears Home Jumper

This is a Brisbane Bears jumper from the 1996 AFL Centenary season, which was also the Brisbane Bears final season. Definitely one of the favourites in my collection as I've always loved the long sleeve design of the Bears jumpers. After doing some research I've found that most of the Bears players had started to wear the new polyester jumpers instead of the old woollen jumpers by this time, however there were a few players that still wore the woollen jumpers for some reason. This jumper is signed by Michael Voss, and was purchased on eBay.   

1995 Brisbane Bears Home Jumper

This is a Brisbane Bears home jumper from the 1995 season. It is manufactured by Puma in the first season where polyester jumpers were produced, as opposed to the woollen jumpers that had traditionally been made. This jumper was purchsaed on eBay.

1990s Brisbane Bears Home Jumper- Player Issue

This is a player issue Brisbane Bears jumper, with the design that they wore from 1992-93. You are able to tell this because there is no Coca-Cola logo on the back, as the Coca-Cola logo was introduced in 1994. Has #7 on the back, which was the number of Scott McIvor, however it was never match worn, as the tags are still on the jumper. Got this from the old AFL jumper manufacturer Sekem which had a few Bears jumpers lying around in their factory.

1987 Brisbane Bears Home Jumper

This is the jumper the Brisbane Bears wore in their first two seasons, 1987-88. Probably the rarest one i've got, as it took me literally two years to track a seller. Eventually purchased it from a sports memorabilia store in Queensland after having no luck on eBay. When I received the jumper it had the AFL logo on top of the old VFL logo, so they must have rebadged the ones that didn't sell.

1995 Fitzroy Lions Pre Season Jumper

This is a Fitzroy Lions pre season jumper as worn by the team in the 1995 pre season competition. This was Fitzroy's first ever pre-season or clash jumper that they wore and is definitely one of my favourite ever footy jumpers from a design perspective. This is not an original jumper, as it is a recent reproduction made by the Fitzroy Shop in Mordialloc, which is owned by the Fitzroy FC.   

1995 Fitzroy Lions Home Jumper

This is a Fitzroy Lions jumper as worn by the team in the 1995 season. You can tell this by looking at the Quit patch, as the line going through the Q on this jumper goes completely through the Q as opposed to the 1993-94 jumper. This was purchased on eBay.   

1993-94 Fitzroy Lions Home Jumper

This is a Fitzroy Lions jumper worn by the club from the 1993-94 seasons. You can tell this by looking at the Quit patch, as the line going through the Q on this jumper doesn't go completely through the Q as opposed to the 1995 jumper. This was purchased on eBay.
