The meaning behind Fremantle’s Len Hall Tribute Jumper
This year, Fremantle is proud to unveil a special edition Len Hall tribute jumper, inspired by one of the most remarkable love stories in West Australian history, the story of Len and Eunice Hall.
As we mark the 28th year of the Len Hall Tribute Game, this unique jumper not only honours the sacrifices of our service men and women but also celebrates the enduring power of connection.
The design of the 2025 Len Hall tribute jumper draws directly from the moment Len Hall first met Eunice, a story that has become legend in Fremantle.
In 1915, as a 16-year-old soldier preparing to depart for Egypt, Len spotted Eunice in the crowd at the Fremantle docks.
In a spontaneous gesture, he plucked an Emu plume from his hat and offered it to her—a simple act that would change both their lives. Years later, after surviving the horrors of Gallipoli and the Middle East, Len returned home.
During the welcome home march, Eunice found him and returned the plume, asking, “Excuse me, sir, would you like your plume back?”
Two years later, they were married, beginning a partnership that would last 74 years.
The Emu feathers that make up the chevrons featured on this year’s jumper are a direct tribute to that fateful gesture.
They symbolise not only the courage and spirit of the Australian Light Horse, of which Len was a proud member, but also the serendipity and hope that can be found even in the darkest times.
Emblazoned on the neck of the jumpers are the words: For Len and Eunice Hall.
This simple dedication is a reminder that behind every act of service, there are stories of love, family and resilience.
In 2015, Fremantle first wore a jumper featuring the ANZAC crest above the AFL logo for the first and only time in the Club’s history, as they faced Sydney at Subiaco Oval on ANZAC Day.
The 2025 Len Hall Game sees the return of the ANZAC crest on the jumper and marks the first time the Club has unveiled a full creative design for the occasion.
In the spirit of service and remembrance, 10 per cent of all proceeds from the 2025 Len Hall tribute jumper will be donated to Western Australia’s RSL ANZAC Appeal.
The 2025 Len Hall Tribute Game, held on Friday 25 April at Optus Stadium against the Adelaide Crows, will be more than just a game.
Selected Fremantle members who have served in the armed forces will take a lap of honour, recognising their dedication and sacrifice made for the broader Australian community.
As the players don the Len Hall jumper this year, we invite all Fremantle supporters to reflect on the stories that shape our Club and our country.
The legacy of Len and Eunice Hall is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of remembering those who have served.
Except for two pandemic-interrupted years, Fremantle has played the Len Hall fixture annually since 1996.
