THERE aren’t many things more retro than a classic footy guernsey.

So with the footy world set to celebrate ‘Retro Round’ next week, Fox Footy has taken a look back at every club’s best and worst ever outfits.

From the classics of the 80s and 90s to horrific mistakes and sponsor-forced changes, the league has seen everything.

With a massive thanks to the historians at FootyJumpers.com, here are our picks for the biggest fashion crimes and best footy looks.

WHAT’S THE MOST RETRO THING? VOTE HERE

ADELAIDE CROWS

BEST: The Crows’ look has always been a classic, incorporating the state’s colours beautifully.

Their original home look worn from 1991 to 1995 is our favourite with a slight collar and hoops going around the whole guernsey.

WORST: The problems for Adelaide begin when they stray from that look adding more and more intricacies which just look overwhelming.

Their 2006/07 away guernsey included a crow graphic on the front, which was OK, but also included bizarre red sashes across the sides which were simply too much.

BRISBANE BEARS/LIONS

BEST: Depending on your taste, Brisbane has certainly had some interesting looks, but our favourite comes from this season.

The Lions’ 2016 Hall of Fame guernsey was inspired by Fitzroy’s look from 1916 and includes a beautiful, classic monogram on the front.

WORST: There are quite a few to choose from — the Bears really were the most 80s-looking footy team you can imagine.

Our pick for the worst is likely to be loved by some and hated by others — their 1991 away guernsey.

With the strange triangle logo taking up the middle that we think is supposed to imply fast movement and an eyesore of a colour scheme, there’s just a lot going on here.

SPECIAL MENTION: Brisbane usually looks best when it brings in as much classic Fitzroy as possible.

But thankfully the Lions haven’t tried to replicate the Roys’ 1995 pre-season guernsey.

CARLTON

BEST: Our pick for Carlton’s best guernsey is its most recent look, which incorporates the old dark navy blue with a bigger, classic monogram first used in 1927.

WORST: It was bad when Carlton sold out for M&Ms in 1997 and wore a light blue guernsey.

But in 2009 against Fremantle it wore a bright yellow outfit — pretty much the exact opposite of their best look.

It was for charity admittedly — but for Livestrong, the foundation established by cheating cyclist Lance Armstrong. In retrospect, he’s not exactly someone you want to be associated with.

COLLINGWOOD

BEST: Collingwood’s home guernsey has been nearly identical for decades, with only slight changes.

So our pick for the best is based on the sponsor, because when we think retro footy, we think Spicers.

WORST: Bizarrely, at the same time as our pick for Collingwood’s best guernsey, the club also wore its worst.

In the 1996 and 1997 pre-seasons, the Magpies donned an awful checkered top that made them look more like barcodes than Collingwood players. Throw in a strange logo treatment and it’s a shocker.

ESSENDON

BEST: The Bombers have donned the sash for years. Our pick is the guernsey worn from 1975 to 1995, with a slightly wider sash than before but also a bit of a collar.

WORST: How hard is it to mess up a sash?

This Essendon look, seen in their 2007-08 away guernsey, looks like someone accidentally grabbed the wrong layer in Photoshop, made it enormous and then hit save.

FREMANTLE

BEST: Fremantle’s choice to get rid of the green and red was a good one in our view, with the chevrons looking lovely since 2011.

WORST: We could’ve arguably just chosen any 90s Fremantle guernsey.

But their away outfit, worn from 1998 to 2000, includes one of the decades’ favourite trends — awful 3D.

GEELONG

BEST: The Cats have never strayed far from their classic look. Our pick was worn between 1981 and 1993 with six white hoops and five blue hoops.

WORST: When the Cats are forced to wear a clash or away guernsey, it generally goes poorly.

The worst of the bunch was this blue-on-blue look seen in 2003 in away games against Collingwood and North Melbourne.

GOLD COAST SUNS AND GWS GIANTS

IT’S hard to find a retro look for the newest AFL franchises but we have picked out a worst.

GWS love to surround their ‘G’ with extra colours and design features but their awful black and white photo look from their 100th game in Round 12 was a shocker.

HAWTHORN

BEST: It has been brown and gold stripes for Hawthorn since 1950, and we prefer the gold to the slightly more yellow look worn after 1997.

This guernsey from 1995 modelled by Darren Jarman is as good as any.

WORST: It’s almost like Hawthorn tried to produce a new worst Hawks guernsey with the ridiculously bad Power Rangers look from the last few seasons.

But the reigning champion hasn’t been dethroned yet — this blue monstrosity with brown and gold diamonds worn against Sydney in the 1995 preseason.

MELBOURNE

BEST: Their song says “keep your eye on the red and the blue” for a reason.

While the Demons have changed the size of the yoke (red section) over the years and had a go with royal blue, the navy and red was always our favourite.

WORST: As we said, the song mentions just two colours for a reason.

The Demons tried in the 2000s to incorporate silver into their guernseys and it never worked out. Our pick for the worst comes from the 2001 and 2002 preseasons.

It never works for the Demons when they use silver, as seen in this 2001-02 pre-season guernsey. Source: News Limited

NORTH MELBOURNE

BEST: The blue and white stripes are lovely, but we really enjoyed the look seen in the glory years from 1996 to 2002 as an away guernsey.

That Kangaroo below the stripes just screams late 90s footy to us.

WORST: You probably guessed this one. Sponsorship-forced changes almost never work and the Kangaroos incorporating orange — orange! — for a teleco was awful.

They wore it once, against Collingwood in 2000, and thankfully never again.

PORT ADELAIDE

BEST: When Port Adelaide came into the AFL their guernseys looked so pointy they could’ve probably taken your eye out.

A move from 2010 onwards to a teal and white V on a predominantly black top was much needed.

WORST: There are quite a few options here but in our eyes, the Power hit rock bottom with their guernsey design just before they got better in 2010.

This 2009 clash guernsey was just strange.

RICHMOND

BEST: Thankfully for everyone’s eyes, the Tigers haven’t strayed from the classic sash on their home guernseys since 1914.

This 1995 look is just a beauty.

WORST: When the Tigers do make changes, it rarely works.

Their 2004 heritage guernsey was a strange one, as it was based on a photo of an old top from the VFA. We’re not fans.

ST KILDA

BEST: Some may disagree with our pick for St Kilda’s best look, but too bad.

This guernsey was originally a pre-season outfit from 1996 but the Saints wore it proudly from 1997 to 2001 in home games.

WORST: Thank heavens there aren’t many sponsor-forced guernsey changes nowadays.

From 2001 to 2003 the Saints wore this yellow mess as an away top — not even as a special one-off like some previously mentioned. Thanks, milk.

SYDNEY/SOUTH MELBOURNE

BEST: You can’t go past the classics.

The Swans had a lovely red V on a predominantly white top from 1932 to 1986 and it’s seen here as a heritage guernsey.

WORST: The national competition known as the Escort Cup, which was played between 1979 and 1982, saw the first real clash guernseys.

In 1979 the Swans battled South Fremantle, who both classically wear red and white. The West Australian club won the toss and forced the Swans into a bizarre orange guernsey.

WEST COAST EAGLES

BEST: The wings are back this season but it’s hard to go past the lighter blue and yellow for West Coast’s best look.

WORST: We’re not sure what the thought process was behind this change.

Adding red and making the Eagles’ away guernsey into a messy gradient, with a strange logo on the front as well, was just a poor call.

WESTERN BULLDOGS/FOOTSCRAY

BEST: Once again, we head into the past to find a club’s best look.

Since 2012 the Bulldogs have reverted to two separate hoops of red and white, but from 1975 to 2011 it was a single red hoop separated from the blue by white.

When the club added the Bulldog on the front it was a bit too much in our eyes.

WORST: There’s a funny, if bizarre story, behind the Bulldogs’ heritage guernsey worn in 2003.

From 1925 to 1934 the Dogs had the current red and white hoops but then to make the club more distinctive decided to make a change for the next season.

They then wore it for a season but the guernseys were then destroyed when dry cleaned at the end of the year.

While the 2003 heritage top doesn’t perfectly replicate it it’s still a candy cane mess.
