I see the WAFL is selling a limited number of replica State Jumpers - be good to see a few kids running around with these on rather than some of the alternatives!

Unfortunately Aussie Rules state jumpers have very little meaning these days. Sometimes we have to admit the Rugby League do it right.
I think the WA STATE jumper is the best around. Good colours and simple design that stands out. If a pic was taken with all the states together the WA jumper would be the first you saw. Would be good to see a few kids wearing them around if not supporters at games.
The girls recently played in an interstate carnival and a pic was taken of all the teams wearing a jumper.. As the photographer said the WA Jumper was miles ahead of the rest. Click on below link to see pic
They certainly do stand out. I was sitting in the car down at Batemans Bay on the NSW south coast around 6 years ago out the front of a tackle shop when a bearded bloke on a pushy rode past wearing an old woolen one.
As a kid in the 80’s I had a long sleeved wool one. Didn’t like wearing it as it made me itchy!

I hate to say it, but the big V is a fine strip and hard to top. Crow eaters is crap.
