The North uniforms were based on descriptions, which I've since found photos of on the Boyles site.

North long sleeves were striped down the arms, and the jumper was changed after the merge with West Melbourne.
For the first two years they wore Navy with White yoke, then alternated between Navy Blue and Blue & White stripes.
I recall the text described it as returning to the old North Melbourne jumpers.
I knew Father Gerard Dowling through the AFHG and either it was his book or a book he lent me.
I will re-do the 1911 jumpers, and try and find when they moved from lace-ups to long sleeves before the merger.

I believe the earliest I can place it is the 1903 VFA Premiership team

Wow, I thought the Boyles site was dead! I had no idea they just renamed it. It wasn’t promoted too well. Thank you!

THIS!

This is massive.


Thank you for the second hand showing of this.

I'd be interested in who bought the website or who renamed it and if it was done some time after Harley Boyles' death.

Michael Riley and Ken Mansell ran the Boyles site, which died.
The images are from the State Library collection, which was donated by the Boyles family.
They were originally glass plate negatives.
The site added in known photos of clubs before Boyles career began.

I do not know who resurrected it, and called it Hidden Footy Histories.
One of the best resources in the history of any sport.

Something interesting in the above link.

The About Us page has this closer.

"In 2023 we renamed the site to hiddenfootyhistories.org to better reflect the widening content that we have added."

Carlton team of 1928. Some uniforms have monograms that aren't on any jumper on the site, and the most common one is not correctly represented on footyjumpers.com. Just some food for thought. From the Boyles site.

I reckon a mix of the frilly-ness of the left F and then the Cs of the right would be the perfect mix
I was meaning to delve deeper into the history at some point but never got the chance.
