Logo North Melbourne
Monogram logos were popular with cricket and football clubs during the 19th century and early 20th century.
This monogram design featured on official club publications prior to the 1960s
This is the club's official coat of arms and was used alongside the monogram design during the early 20th century up to the 1960s
In 1977 the VFL introduced official logos for the first time. Prior to 1977 logos were generally done by outside companies for sales of merchandise, but were in no way official. All the club's logos were printed on shields and had navy blue top halves to represent the VFL
1983–1984In 1983 the Kangaroo was reversed to face forwards instead of backwards to symbolise the direction the club was heading.
In 1984 the light blue was dropped and the actual club colours of royal blue were adopted on the stripes. This logo lasted till 2001 and was the last of the 'VFL shield' logos to be discontinued by any of the clubs in the AFL
This was the club's secondary logo during the 1990s and by 2002 had been adopted as the official logo. The shield was dropped, the North Melbourne name was removed and more stripes were added. The change was made to coincide with the 'Kangaroos' rebranding of the club after 1998
2007–presentIn May 2005 the club invited fans to have their say on the current logo with a view to updating it. Three important elements for the fans were the retention of the stripes, kangaroo and North Melbourne name to reaffirm the club's commitment to its history. The logo was unveiled in 2007 with the chief executive, Geoff Walsh, describing it as "exciting and progressive, and keeps in line with the clubs core values and future direction."

Brownlow Medal North Melboume
1965
Noel Teasdale (born 2 January 1938) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.
Originally from Daylesford, Teasdale made his debut with the North Melbourne Football Club in 1956 playing as a ruckman and for a period, a full-back.
Teasdale was noted for his tough, uncompromising play and in 1964 saw this almost cost him his life - as his head clashed with that of North teammate Ken Dean leaving him in a serious condition in St. Vincent's Hospital. Midway through that same year, Teasdale came back to play for North, taking over the captaincy in the absence of injured skipper Allen Aylett.
The 1965 season saw Teasdale don a headguard (helmet) due to medical advice and this produced his best season yet - tying for the Brownlow Medal with Ian Stewart. Although he originally lost on countback, he was later awarded a retrospective medal.
His VFL career ended in 1967 and he later moved to Woodville Football Club. He is now retired and living in Hervey Bay, Queensland.
1973 ,1974
Keith Greig (born 23 October 1951) played on the wing for the Australian rules football North Melbourne Football Club from 1971 to 1985. He is considered as one of the most exciting players of the era, earning the nickname "Racehorse" because of his blistering speed on the field.
Greig was recruited from Brunswick in 1971. Greig captained the club from 1976 to 1979, and played a then club record 297 games. He represented Victoria 13 times in the state games, captaining the side once in 1978, and was named an All-Australian in 1983. He won the Brownlow medal twice, in 1973 and 1974.
He is a life member of North Melbourne, and was selected in the AFL's Team of the Century as a wingman. In 1996 Greig was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
