Jumpers and Colours
It was agreed by the founding members that the club needed to have a visual identity that was reflective of a power but most importantly made reference to the Canadian territory where the club would be based, deciding on the "Cougars". The VAFC is represented in all media relations and club materials as the "Cougars" and is supported by the image of the Cougar on its official logo.
The Cougars have a sister-club relationship with Port Melbourne in the VFL, and wear similar jumpers (red and blue vertical stripes), the only addition being the Cougars' logo on the front. The complete set of jumpers were donated by Port Melbourne as well as a number of Australian footballs.

Famous quotes containing the words jumpers and/or colours:
“Holy Rollers and Jumpers come out,
And they holler, they jump and they shout,”
—Joe Hill (1879–1914)
“Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
