In 1997, the AFL in partnership with sponsor Coca-Cola, launched the second annual Lightning Premiership competition - a knockout competition held at a single venue (this year, it was the WACA Ground in Perth) primarily under lights across one weekend in February, prior to the start of the Ansett Preseason Cup. This competition featured the sixteen AFL clubs, including the newly launched Port Adelaide Power, as well as the new merger of Brisbane and Fitzroy.
Each of the sixteen teams wore a bespoke design with Coca-Cola as the naming rights sponsor across all guernseys, made of the classic sportswool material with cut-and-sew panelling as opposed to the new technology of sublimated polyester, which this portfolio will showcase.
