Claremont FC Memorabilia
Club Merchandise has been available for CFC members and supporters from early days. Unfortunately the Grandstand/Clubrooms fire in 1948 destroyed most of the then club’s records and merchandise. A large sample of CFC Memorabilia and Merchandise has been photographed and supplied by an avid Claremont Football Club collector and has been included, but photographs of many more items are sought. Current CFC merchandise is readily available from the club office.
