DEAD! Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Btw is there a good sight with lots of AFL shirts on? (Maybe a store or something??) I remember seeing some VFL as it would have been then as a little kid and being struck by how good the kits looked!Say hello to the comprehensive history of VFL/AFL jumpers...Mero's Jumper MadnessGot any pictures to prove they existed? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Got any pictures to prove they existed?Depends. For which ones?(This is not my site I should point out, I am merely a helper...for the most part I have no idea where the man behind it all actually got his info from. But he's generally spot on with the dates.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 They won't get away with that in the height of winter in Toronto though! I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 They won't get away with that in the height of winter in Toronto though!they would likely try, though. then again, the redskins o-line decided to go without long sleeves for a december game at lambeau several years ago, like packers linemen traditionally do...them hogs couldn't last the first half w/o long sleeves.

It might not have the physical contact of American Football, but goddamit its a tough game!believe me, football shoulder pads weren't invented with warmth in mind. i know from tons of practice with driving rain, whipping wind and one extremely wet game i was in.
