THE HISTORY OF REPRESENTATIVE / INTERSTATE FOOTBALL
QUEENSLAND - UNIFORMS
(2000-present)
2000-2003
It remains unknown what uniforms were worn during this period, what patches appeared on the uniforms, or even how many representative matches were played during these years!
I'm aware of the QAFL playing rep matches against the WAFL in 2002 and the ACTAFL in 2003 but that's the limit of what I have been able to find. If you can provide further info please contact me.
2004-2005
- a throwback to the 1930 Queensland jumper.
- the QAFL logo was replaced by the AFL Queensland logo
(the QAFL was one of many State Leagues that were re-badged "AFL [State name]" during this period).
- modern-style jumper designed to be worn untucked outside the (baggy) shorts.

2011 - NEAFL North (QLD-NT) Representative uniform
Due to a restructure of football along Australia's north-east coast, the best teams from Queensland, Northern Territory, New South Wales and the A.C.T. transferred to a new, conference-based competition - the NEAFL North and the NEAFL East. This NEAFL North representative team was just the second combined Queensland-Northern Territory team ever selected at senior level (the other was the 1993 State of Origin side).
- the jumper changed from a V-neck to a circle-neck due to Kooga taking over as apparel sponsor.

An all-new design intended to incorporate the key design elements of previous QAFL and NTFL representative uniforms - the maroon and white of Queensland and the black, ochre and white of the Northern Territory. This was the same concept applied to the 1993 QLD-NT State of Origin jumper.
The NEAFL logo replaced the AFL Queensland logo that was worn in 2011.

2014 - AFL Queensland Representative uniform
The NEAFL moved away from selecting separate representative teams for each conference (NEAFL North and NEAFL East) in favour of a single representative team featuring the best players from both conferences. This opened the door for AFL Queensland to resume representative football.
To mark the occasion a new QAFL uniform was unveiled; a modern take on the Queensland 1908 National Carnival uniform - the first to feature a large "Q" front and centre on the maroon jumper. Other design features:
- a unique "Q" unlike any others to previously appear on the Queensland jumper.
- this was incorporated in the new AFL Queensland logo.
- the word "QUEENSLAND" on the league's logo was replaced by "STATE TEAM" on the representative logo.
- new number font.
- a new apparel sponsor (BLK) replaced Kooga.
