I am going to write about my other great love now afl football.
Strictly speaking it may not be a topic for Munters but here goes.

AFL or Australian Rules Football has a huge fan base worldwide.
There  are 16 teams in the competition that is played Australia wide and is televised and broadcast around the world. The sport is growing locally with the addition of 2 new teams being organised for the 2011 competition . Additionally it is played on the world stage with exhibition games being played in Ireland , the UK and Asian Pacific Nations such as New Guinea and Cook Islands .

The brightly coloured , modern jumpers or guernseys are made by all the large global, sporting goods manufacturers eg Adidas , Puma  and Reebok. These jumpers are dri fit polyester styled without sleeves and moulded to fit the players body. Unique , iconic logo’s and mascot adorn the jersey and printed team name and number are often on the back .

Official licensed products are properly made with the appropriate  signage and are the correct colours and have portrayed the accurate team logo /mascot . Of further benefit to the local industry they are made in Australia and some funds from their profitable sale are ploughed back into the development of the AFL code. These are both worthwhile benefits resulting from the purchase.

When to buy

Clubs often change their strip at the start of a new season .
Historically, team mascots are not often changed nor are the teams famous colours.
Manufacturers are also changed when contracts expire and new companies are employed to produce the garments.
The start or end of the season is a good time to buy especially if strip is to be superceded and fans want a piece of history.
Those Clubs who have been merged with others or the teams older style woollen jumpers are highly collectable.
Fans everwhere wear their teams colours proudly.
Its tribal , topical ,sometimes controversial,but never boring .
Exhilarating , exciting, and enjoyable thats aussie rules .
Be a part of it in your jumper , jersey, guernsey. You can read more on Football Jumpers.com
