3C64DF99-C286-43B9-AD85-869BE1CF029A.jpeg NORTH Melbourne has released new jumpers to pay homage to its history as it celebrates 150 years since the club was established.

On its home guernsey, the vertical royal blue and white stripes the Roos are synonymous with remain, while the eight logos the club has had are subtly located in the blue panelling.

Featuring on the back, at the top of both the home and away jumpers, is a new logo to mark the anniversary.

The away guernsey sees the bounding kangaroo across the front return, while retaining North's traditional colours.

North Melbourne was established in 1869 and since joining the VFL in 1925, the Roos have won four premierships.

Please ignore the above video, I accidentally posted the wrong one... my bad. I have been looking through Google and YouTube for a copy of the game/highlights but could only find about 30 seconds and one passage of play from the season that was. Anyone able to find it, or know where to find it digitally? It’s a bit strange since it’s a great piece of our history! I have the 1994 North video in my collection but can’t share that with you guys :(

That’s okay then. I dread to think about that day, I actually cried at 3 quarter time.

Looked at the rooshop today and it’s sad that on our 150th year that we have no traditional blue stripes on white jumper.

The 90s roo jumper is great but our current blue with logo scattered over it is awful.

Both membership and merchandise are really lagging this year, in what should be a year to capitalize on.

The graphic artist down there was recruited from the pokemon merchandise department.
 
Even the ever popular hoodie that should be an easy sell is as boring as a fridge magnet. They put the ‘150’ on the ass rather than of the chest or middle off the back.

I know i’ll be told by the apologists here to ‘suck it up’, but this is really poor marketing across the board.

Members like to feel special and this year they have done the opposite. If they aren’t careful, the fair weather supporters will realize it’s losing value and that special feeling and drop off. Cutting costs on such a crucial part of the business makes us look like the tin rattlers we’ve worked hard to shake off.

The media polo is pretty good. 150th logo on the tit.

The rest of the merchandise this year is pretty average. Hopefully they redeem themselves with the premiership stuff.

Its a shame the membership polo doesn't look more like the media polo.
