That started happening many years ago.
Personally speaking I think it detracts from the games. I realise many others wouldn't give a toss, don't know, cannot see it and don't care. Would be fantastic to see a return to a proper club guernsey without the crap.
However I am going to be in for a hell of a l o n g wait because the Wafl have simply copied the worldwide trend. Would be interesting to know how much revenue each of the 8 Wafl clubs gain from all the advertising on their respective clothing?

Need to support Sponsorship or Clubs will not survive.
Our Sponsorship on the way up.
An increase in 2019 of a whopping 129%.
Not that we have set the scene alight in the past.
A bit of catching up to do.
Subi should know how good sponsors can be.

Not sure tbh Ark, I doubt it, we didn't win many in any jumper in those days. 1980 was the worst I recon, horrible year in what was possibly the strongest season I've seen before v raped everybody

For you DG.

I have seen it used by some local junior and amateur clubs including country clubs here and interstate over the last 10-20 years.

Anyone know the story of how this design came about?

Might have had something to do with Haydn Bunton - although I am aware he had left Subi by that time. When he arrived at Swans in 1961 he hated the club's logo - a sedate swan on the river - and he immediately moved to have the 'fighting swan' logo brought in that is still seen today.
