1997 North Melbourne AFL Jersey

NZD $149

A unique crossover between rugby heritage design and Australian rules football, this North Melbourne Kangaroos long sleeve jersey was produced by Canterbury of New Zealand in the mid to late 1990s. Featuring the club’s iconic royal blue and white colours in a classic rugby-style hooped design, the jersey includes the embroidered Kangaroos crest with “North Melbourne Football Club” detailing and Canterbury branding. Jerseys like this highlight a period when rugby-style cotton jerseys were produced for AFL clubs, creating a distinctive look that has become increasingly popular with collectors.

Made in Australia and officially licensed, the jersey features a heavy cotton construction, traditional white collar and long sleeves in a true vintage rugby silhouette. These rugby-inspired AFL jerseys are becoming increasingly sought after due to their durability and unique crossover appeal between codes. Tagged Medium and fitting true to size, this jersey remains in excellent vintage condition with strong colours and minimal signs of wear.
