What kind of officially licenced AFL products do you have?
A club polo shirt,stubby holder and cap, however most of my gear is more memorabillia, so maybe i shouldn't be answering your question, but now i have started i will keep going, sorry. I have 2 addidas t shirts signed by Tommy Hafey,and one of each of the 12 VFL club Jumpers collected from ' 77 to ' 82 and a Collingwood club blazer worn by the club's merchandise manager in the film "THE CLUB " in 1980. The numbers and logos on the jumpers are Carlton (22, avco), Collingwood (1 Yakka), Essendon (47, Don), Fitzroy (19 amco),Footscray (9 pyrox) Geelong (19 ford), Hawthorn (3 bfc), Melbourne (31 mayne nickless), Nth Melb (38 Budget), Richmond (8 esso) St Kilda (8 Valentine greetings), Sth Melb (14 bond corp), The Geelong jumper still has apparrent blood on it,maybe from the occupant of the Hawthorn jumper, after that infamous incident at Princess Park 1985. The Collingwood jumper was given to me by the late LenThompson, he may have had 2 jumpers but if "its licenced" as the one he wore in 1978, its the ' last ' No 1 Collingwood jumper worn by a Collingwood captain. Ray Shaw ended the long standing tradition of Collingwood captains wearing No 1, when appointed captain in '79 . Shaw made a request to the committee to retain his number 23. A special committee meeting was held before a pleasant Sunday morning with entertainment from Ron Blaskett Gerry Gee and Adolphous Quirk, and the Collingwood committee 'dummies', granted the request. As i said at the start sorry, this has stuff all to do with your question
