Club History

The Club Strip

North Fremantle Amateur Football Club have always been black and white, with black not always being the dominant colour. There have been numerous changes to the design of the jumper, from all black, to stripes, to all white, to hoops and to the current striped design.

During 1921 to 1926, the jumper was all black with a white 'V' and collar, and the letters NFFC in white across the stomach area.

From 1927 to 1930, the only difference to the above described jumper were the letters 'NFF' were entwined in the letter 'C' and worn on the left side of the chest.

In 1931, the design of North's jumper was changed to black and white vertical stripes, and continued to be worn by North Fremantle until 1946. During those years, the Magpies won six premierships.

The Red and White Strip

The uniform worn in 1946 was pre-war vintage, and North Fremantle decided that a new football jumper was needed for 1947. As this time was immediately post-war, the knitting mills were not geared up from the making of vertical stripes, so North had to be satisfied with a jumper of black and white havles, with the bottom half being black.

This jumper was not very popular, as it was of poor quality and bad fit, which resulted in new jumpers in 1948. However, as the 1947 jumpers were so unpopular, the club borrowed a set of jumpers from South Fremantle Football Club to wear in the 1947 Grand Final. This was the first and the last time a North Fremantle team has worn a red and white jumper!

The Big Black 'V'

As the vertical stripe jumpers were still hard to come by, North settled for an all white jumper with a big black 'V' for the 1948 season. This style of jumper was worn on and off for a number of years, with only minor changes being made to the design.
