Essendon Bombers 72 Jersey

The Heritage AFL Jersey reimagines classic footy heritage through the lens of iconic American sportswear. Crafted from premium poly mesh, it features front and back cut & sew panels, applique team name and establishment year details, and an embroidered AFL logo on the chest. Finished with piping, zig-zag stitch trim and a woven AFL x Mitchell & Ness jocktag, it's a bold crossover of AFL tradition and American-inspired style. Nicknamed the Bombers, the Essendon Football Club was established in 1872 and like their rivals at Collingwood FC, are one of oldest and most successful AFL teams currently in the league. They have 16 VFL/AFL premierships under their belt! Essendon's mascot, a bomber plane, is a nod to the team's proud history in aviation, dating back to World War II when many of the club's players served as pilots and ground crew. The Bombers also have a long list of notable players who have represented the club, including some of the greatest players in the history of the game, such as Dick Reynolds, John Coleman, Tim Watson, James Hird, and Matthew Lloyd.
