Essendon bases heritage jacket on DJR's favourite

[Glu]

No more “I’m the guy with the red sleeves” at half time in VFL games.

Is @theDJR the model with the 2 thumbs?

[theDJR]

Surely no one can afford what it’s going to cost?

[brem06]

I can afford what it’s going to cost*. And don’t call me Shirley.

*I can’t. Just had to throw in the Airplane line.

Just the super keen fans that show up to VFL games.

Shut up, and take my boomerang.

What about the ones that show up to VFL game, singular?

When I was at uni I worked in an AFL Merchandise shop. Iirc those jackets were ~$250. This was like 10-12 years ago though so may have changed.

They were ~$300 in the early Nineties.

Maybe early Noughties they were $500 (but the leather sleeves were black).

I still have the vivid jacket with leather sleeves. Purchased it in 1998 still good today. That one Sheeds is wearing was around $350 IIRC back in the day. Will be $500+ today you’d think. I clicked on the link in the email to see how much it costs and the link is broken typical EFC efficiency

[Mr_Sunbury_1]

That’s the vivid jacket I think? I have one. Black leather sleeves with a logo on the back with established date, home grounds etc. is that the one you’re thinking of? I bought mine in 1998 or thereabouts and it was around $300 but the one with red sleeves was more, my recollection was around $350 but it could’ve been more l suppose.

Buy this - sew your favourite badges on it.

Either they sold very quickly, or they’re not prepared to tell us what they’re going to cost yet.

i’ve been nervous lots of times

[theDJR]

I see we continue to ignore our existence before 1897, on a jacket specifically covering 1872-1896.

Not asking them to acknowledge all 39* premierships, including reserves etc, but we won senior premierships prior to 1897.

*@Hoffy will edit this to 40 on Sunday evening.

Close, $399.

$5 discount for shitness.

I don’t want to give this club any of my money, but at the same time… I really want that jacket…

Just a quick observation, our colours are Red and Black, not red and grey.
