THE HISTORY OF REPRESENTATIVE / INTERSTATE FOOTBALL
QUEENSLAND - UNIFORMS
|
For Queensland representative football it has always been, and will always be about the Q. Ever since the first Q appeared on the State jumper in 1908 there have been near annual changes in the size, shape and font.
Season 1975 saw a bold, new look that coincided with Queensland football's first season as reigning Section 2 national champions. A second national championship was added in 1979 before Queensland adopted the white jumper with maroon sash that has become synonymous with the State. |

On July 16, 1991 the maroons pulled-off the greatest victory in their storied history, defeating Victoria by 44 points at the Gabba. This match also marked the debut of the Port Adelaide-style maroon jumper with white stripes.
The State team bounced between the sash and the stripes throughout the early 2000s before settling on an all-new design in 2014 that returns the focus to the Q, once again positioned prominently front and centre on the Queensland jumper.
