rmered Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I have been asked to comment on the team who have worn the same jumper design for the longest period.From my research in Aussie Rules, my team, Essendon Bombers are the longest in the world, with the same jersey design, Black with a Red Sash.Since 1874, Essendon have officially worn these colours, except for the addition of competition and sponsors logos.Does anyone know of a professional team with a longer stretch of using the same uniform? Well, at least from before 1874? Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puckcool22 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I really don't think their is. I dont think any North American pro sports have been around as long as that, and if so because of technology and stuff the uniforms were definitely different. In europe, it seems they have gone the nike or reebok route.What about an american college though? Maybe penn state? Texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I know this is a dumb question, but has Essendon always been a professional club? When Melbourne and Geelong started, they didn't start as professional clubs, did they? Maybe there are some amateur soccer, rugby union or Gaelic football team that has the sam basic design for just as long. Who knows? I saw, I came, I left.

Good point, Australian footballers have really only been professionals in the last 20 years.However, it's always been the elite level of sport, and been semi-professional since it started. Maybe they should call it elite sporting teams, not professional. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Can't beat it, but FC Barcelona have been wearing the halves since 1877 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Certainly no American sports. Maybe there's an English football team that's been wearing something longer, but I don't know off the top of my head. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Alphabet Man Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 gotta be the English cricket team... seeing the sport started in the 1600 or 1700's anbd they always wore whites, cos colours only came in for World Series Cricket, so yeh maybe a cricket team.....the Darrum Ox Cricket Club (100km north of Bendigo) was around in the early 1800's but the town now only has like one house since the pub there burnt down......(i went there cos my ancestors lived there) twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 They need a new look so they can bring these back as throwbacks and sell 3 times the unis! Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The Guernsey design has changed, though - they're now mostly all vests.The look of them hasn't changed much, though, I'll admit. But yeah, it's gotta be test cricket. In the same tradition as this thread, who has the longest established logo (it can be refined as necessary, to keep with the ages, but has to be the same design concept) still in use today?Logos are quite a new invention, really, for use in sports teams, so I can't imagine it would have been terribly long.
