Embrace the storied legacy of one of the AFL�s most successful franchises with the Essendon Bombers 1996 Centenary Rugby Polo. This premium piece pays tribute to a landmark year in the club's history, featuring yarn-dyed team colour stripes and detailed embroidered logos that capture the spirit of the 16-time premiers.

Whether you are at the stadium or on the street, the stitched 96 numbers on the back serve as a bold nod to the Bombers' aviation-inspired heritage and the legendary players who defined an era of excellence. 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.
