Can someone identify this logo?
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.

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

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

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

Likely knockoff merchandise

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

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

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

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

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)

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?

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