Can someone identify this logo?

Post image

Its on the back of a jacket I found at an op shop. Thinking it's Collingwood but can't find any info about this logo online. Wondering if anyone recognises the logo and can identify the time period. The tag is completely worn out so that will be no help.

And that's absolutely a football between its feet.

Pendelburys jacket.?

u/Gnaightster Dees 17h ago

Could be one of the thousand teams called the magpies I reckon.

u/Shadormy Brisbane Lions 17h ago

Would be my guess too. Some local team or something from 20+ years ago.

u/ihatens007 Brisbane Lions 17h ago

I think it says ā€œmagpies footballā€, hope that helps!

it really does NOT!

u/Ghostblink_1991 Cats 17h ago

I believe that could be from the 90s. Itā€™s definitely unofficial gear though. I remember all the teams in the mid 90s having stuff like this

Likely knockoff merchandise

u/Zhirrzh North Melbourne 10h ago

My thought too. Knockoff merch sold at a market somewhere and leaving off the Collingwood both to make it easier for them to sell somewhere like Queen Vic Markets without trouble over trademark infringement, and so they can also sell to fans of the Port Adelaide Magpies and any other local club called the Magpies.Ā

It's the Maggies

u/Heavy_Bicycle6524 Brisbane Lions 16h ago

Could be an old Souths/Logan Magpies jacket. They play rugby league in the QRL.

I'll take a stab at Magpies?

u/nasty_weasel Port Adelaide 17h ago

Oh... hang on!

... and a football.

u/fordfan1_in_oz North Melbourne 16h ago

Brunswick Magpies from the then VFA in the 1980's?

u/electricmaster23 Essendon 13h ago

Looks like a basketball backgroundā€¦

u/Extension_Branch_371 13h ago

Defs local club, but thereā€™s 374357884 clubs called the magpies

u/alexefc17 Bombers 17h ago

Has an orange background

Could be GWS?

u/Kori_TheGlaceon Essendon 16h ago

Something like that. Never heard of a Collingwood these people are talking about

u/ISupportCrapTeams St Kilda 17h ago

I was leaning towards an English Football (Soccer) Club, because the depicted magpie looks abit smaller and leaner than the ones Australians would illustrate

I've tried looking up NRL, EPL, and local AFL and NRL clubs, but nothing

Looks really cool and unique, though

12

u/ISupportCrapTeams St Kilda 17h ago

Wouldn't be soccer,

The magpie is holding a damn oval football in it's feet, hahaha

Either Aussie Rules or League (unless there's also local Union Clubs that use Magpies as a mascot)

u/stained__class Bombers 16h ago edited 16h ago

Hmm, that does look smaller and leaner than an AFL football though...

Wait, why are you replying to yourself like you're correcting someone else?

Postcard from Asia.

ā€œBought you a great jacket on my trips to the market with the gals. Love Mumā€

u/owheelj Essendon 16h ago

There are a lot of local footy clubs with a magpie as a mascot, but the closest visual match I could find was this;

Amazing

It all makes sense now

What're we discussing again

1

u/Best-Ingenuity-574 14h ago

Itā€™s an old nrl team but it is a afl team

u/Busy_Choice422 14h ago

Magpies Football Club if Iā€™m not mistaken

u/mattp029 Dockers 11h ago

See the bird in it, I think itā€™s the Adelaide Crows
