One mistake I noticed with the retro jerseys is that they have "Paramount" on the back, and having recently watched the 81 GF again, their jerseys didn't have that.

 

[newtownbluebags]

I think the ones they market are from the 1982 season?

 

[Jeffles]

The retro jerseys used to have tags accompanying them that highlighted the season the jersey came from. Newtown's said 1981 although on closer inspection it has 1982 features.

The colour, like todays versions, is wrong along with the fact that they ommited the 'Classic" football shaped logo on the right breast. An original sporting this logo recently sold for over $330...
Whilst on the subject of jerseys etc one of the old Jets jerseys from the late 70s that I have has a magnificent
"JETS" logo patch on the chest which is larger than those worn today. The only patch that comes close to it, although not in size, is that used on the current club jerseys made by "Classic". The quality of the patch is spot on as per the old originals, on the other hand it must be said (from my point of view) that the quality of the Goodfellows patches are akin to a mad womans breakfast! very shoddy! letters are often oddsizes and the whole patch is also often lopsided! and its smaller again ,they look crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If only a supply of the classic patches could be obtained! All of this I must add is from a keen eyed collectors (Jets fanatic) point of view only ;-)

 

[Jeffles]

As someone that wasn't born, can you explain the colour differences.

 

[newtownbluebags]

The earlier jerseys were lighter in colour per Royal blue. The modern and repros are darker and require the summer sun to start them getting anywhere near that lighter colour. But so much time has passed I doubt it matters? but side by side it becomes very apparent

 

[Jeffles]

The Sydney Airport jerseys looked lighter than other ones I owned. Was that closer in colour?

Joined in 1990, 15 years too long for me! Our station does a lotto systems entry each week. Perhaps when we win the big one I can talk the station into a healthy donation for a certain Rugby League club I know.....

Found this article about retro jerseys http://www.smh.com.au/text/articles/2005/09/27/1127804477621.html?oneclick=true its the last few lines that make the best reading! does the club receive any royalties on these classic brand retro jerseys?

hey nbb,driving up king street the other day,theres a little clothes alt shop just up from the botany view hotel,well in the window is old jets jerseys etc,but what caught my eye was a shirt with steve bowden givin to mark broadhurst,looked great,i'll have to stick my head in there next time i'm having a beer at the Carlisle Castle!!
