What is the significance of the big V?

 

[Prison bar Pete]

What is the significance of the big V?

As I understand it, it simply signifies Victory. They've pretty much had various V style designs for most of their existence https://nafc.com.au/history/brief-history https://footyjumpers.com/North-Adelaide.htm, and I suspect that in 1970 they decided to change to the Big V style out of admiration for Victoria's jumper.

A bit of trivia; there was an unrelated club called Victorian in North Adelaide prior to the formation of the current club, which changed its name to North Adelaide before dying in 1885 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_Football_Club_(SAFA).

I always thought the V was a reference to the former Victorian / North Adelaide

Apparently not (I thought the same)

 

[troybe]

Probably just a coincidence but NA started wearing the Victorian V in 1970 that same year former Richmond (152 g) player Michael Patterson started coaching the team. I like to think it’s a nod to that.

If I were North Adelaide I wouldn't want any connection to the disastrous state of Victoria atm & yes I'm from Melbourne.

They’ve worn this design since 2000 but had 2 years where they wore heritage designs

Seems odd that’s Swans, Perth, Peel & East Perth have the WAFL logo under the neck lines whilst all the others clubs have it on the right chest…

Last year’s kit perhaps?

WAFL guernseys are such an eyesore. Walking billboards.

Aussie sports uniforms have a terrible habit of placing the sponsor on the lower half or stomach region of thei shirt/jumper
