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.

2013 Crows Indigenous had club logo and also a larger than usual AFL logo on the jock tag.

You can see AI is still a fair way away from properly replicating text on logos. Okay at first glance, but almost every one is borked in some way when you look closer.

It was only a matter of time
The possibilities are ridiculous

There’s a good CHRONOLOGY of the Collingwood logo on their website now.

Slick looking site! Where do we find your graphics?

Slick looking site! Where do we find your graphics?

It's taken two years to get to this point.
The AFL offer an API to upload their data.
My son has developed the site to where it is.
Images will be merged in as we continue to work on it.
It will be stats.footyjumpers.com during this season.

 

[Storm20]

Mero would you consider this a FanFooty alternative? Or is it more aimed at historical stats over live stats

Aren't the Brisbane Bears and Brisbane Lions officially 2 different clubs?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Aren't the Brisbane Bears and Brisbane Lions officially 2 different clubs?

Depends who you ask. The AFL considers the Bears and Brisbane Lions as the continuation of the same club.

The Lions themselves have a different view, treating club and player stats separately. They restart the club match statistics from the 1997 season, treating the Bears, Fitzroy and the Brisbane Lions as separate entities. With player stats, anyone who played a game for any of the three counts that game towards their overall club tally.

It sounds complicated, and I guess it is, but it is the most equitable way to resolve the tension between the different sides of the merger.

In publications and on their website the AFL designate the Brisbane Lions as a separate club from the Bears with its stats starting from 1997. It should be more like the AFL Tables site where they're separate club stats since that's the official position from the AFL.

I didn't realise that -- if that's the case it reflects a change from their original position, and a welcome one.

Says who? The AFL Season Guide has always considered both Brisbane teams one and the same. To be fair my most recent version is 2024 but I've always seen it that way.

This was always my understanding as well, hence leaving them in the Brisbane folder.
There was a banner at a game that summed it nicely, THIS IS A TAKEOVER NOT A MERGER.
I will speak with the AFL and get their official stance on the issue.
