The joint venture was aimed at affecting improvements at the Hotham Cricket Ground, which was the name of the Reserve at the time. Four years later the club adopted the traditional uniform of blue and white vertical stripes at the insistence of the VFA, who wanted a visible contrast between Geelong's and Hotham's uniforms.

On 30 June 1921, North told its players it would disband and try to gain entry to the VFL by the 'back-door'.

However, this was reversed when the club signed a sponsorship deal with German sporting brand <a href="/wiki/Puma_(brand)" title="Puma (brand)">Puma</a>, effective from the 2022 season.

Coinciding with a change in marketing by which the club sought to identify more with the <i>Kangaroos</i> image, this design included a blue chest with thin stripes extending downwards, onto a large kangaroo. The kangaroo was taken from the club's logo, in which it is represented bounding rightward. The guernsey is thus known as the 'Bounding Roo'.

In 2016, North Melbourne introduced a new logo that featured a much fiercer-looking kangaroo—with its head only—sitting on top of the words 'North Melbourne' inside a shield. The change was generally welcomed. The new kangaroo looks slightly to the right, indicating that it is looking into the future. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Home_ground">Home ground</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_Melbourne_Football_Club&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Home ground"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Docklands_Stadium" title="Docklands Stadium">Docklands Stadium</a></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Arden_Street_Oval" title="Arden Street Oval">Arden Street Oval</a> was home to the Kangaroos between 1882 and 1985.

Members of the club serve as the guarantees of capital and have full voting rights at AGMs to elect directors to the club's board. </p><p>The club's board of directors has nine members, with each director serving a three-year term before their position is put up for re-election at an AGM. Only one-third of the board is contested at each AGM due to the rolling structure of the terms of the directors. This structure safeguards the entire board from being ousted at a single AGM and has made North Melbourne immune to a lot of the in-house fighting witnessed at other AFL football clubs. The board governs the club as well as selecting a chairman to head the club through a majority vote of directors. </p><p>North Melbourne is unique in its structure, because from 1986 to 2006 the club was privately owned and limited by shares. The club was floated in 1986 through a membership vote led by then chairman Bob Ansett. At the meeting, members were encouraged to buy into the club by purchasing shares. The float ended up raising over $3 million and helped to keep the club solvent through the next decade. </p><p>In 1991, the <a href="/wiki/John_Elliott_(businessman)" title="John Elliott (businessman)">John Elliott</a>-led <a href="/wiki/Carlton_Football_Club" title="Carlton Football Club">Carlton Football Club</a> attempted a hostile take over North Melbourne by purchasing a large parcel of shares formerly owned by <a href="/wiki/Robert_Ansett" class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Ansett">Bob Ansett</a>. The Blues acquired 20 per cent of the capital but that stake was eventually bought back in 2001 by <a href="/wiki/John_Magowan" class="mw-redirect" title="John Magowan">John Magowan</a>, the former head of Merrill Lynch Australia. The resulting melodrama saw the formation of B-Class shareholders who had the effective power of veto over any attempt to merge or relocate the club. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Proposed_relocation_of_the_North_Melbourne_Football_Club" title="Proposed relocation of the North Melbourne Football Club">Proposed relocation of the North Melbourne Football Club</a></div> <p>Further takeover attempts were made in the first decade of the 21st century by the <a href="/wiki/Southport_Sharks" class="mw-redirect" title="Southport Sharks">Southport Sharks</a>. Then chairman Allan Aylett knocked back a proposal from the Sharks that would have seen them gain a majority stake in the club in exchange for an injection of capital. In early 2006, another proposal from Sharks to underwrite the Kangaroos' games on the Gold Coast, in exchange for a slice of the shareholder structure at the club was knocked back after AFL intervention. </p><p>Due to an <a href="/wiki/Australian_Taxation_Office" title="Australian Taxation Office">Australian Taxation Office</a> ruling in 2006, the club proposed a shareholder restructure that would have seen the B Class shareholders power reduced significantly and some voting rights returned to members. This was done to avoid extraordinary taxes being placed on the club, but the move was blocked in December by Bob Ansett and his proxies who feared that the restructure would make the club vulnerable to further takeover bids. </p><p>On 28 February 2007, another meeting was called to resolve the shareholder issue. A motion was passed that would return see some voting rights return to members and stop any future tax increments. </p><p>In April 2007 it was revealed the AFL was attempting to buy out the shareholders of the club in a bid to gain full ownership, and force a relocation of the club to the Gold Coast. </p><p>During October 2007, a group called <a href="/wiki/We_Are_North_Melbourne" class="mw-redirect" title="We Are North Melbourne">We Are North Melbourne</a> (WANM) emerged and launched a public campaign, calling for ordinary members to be given the final say on the relocation issue. While the group became synonymous with the push to keep the club in Melbourne, its first priority was to see the club's shareholder structure wound-up and control returned to ordinary members. </p><p>North Melbourne reverted to public company in November 2008. A moratorium was passed at an extraordinary general meeting that allowed <a href="/wiki/James_Brayshaw" title="James Brayshaw">James Brayshaw</a>'s board to serve unopposed until 2010, so as to allow his ticket the maximum time to enact their policies to make the North Melbourne Football Club financially viable. </p><p>On 20 November 2016, former Aussie Rules footballer and Football Federation Australia chairman <a href="/wiki/Ben_Buckley" title="Ben Buckley">Ben Buckley</a> replaced James Brayshaw as the new chairman of the club. </p><p>In 2022, North Melbourne appointed Jen Watt as CEO, joining President Dr Sonja Hood in the first all-female AFL leadership team.<sup id="cite_ref-50" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span

North sought to join the breakaway competition, but some argue this desire was not realised due to Essendon feeling threatened by North's proximity and the fact their inclusion could drain Essendon of vital talent. More than 100 years later, some North supporters have not forgiven Essendon for the decision and have blamed the Bombers for their relatively small supporter base and gate revenue. North were finally admitted into the VFL in 1925 alongside <a href="/wiki/Western_Bulldogs" title="Western Bulldogs">Footscray</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hawthorn_Football_Club" title="Hawthorn Football Club">Hawthorn</a>. In <a href="/wiki/1950_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1950 VFL Grand Final">1950</a>, the two sides met in their first and only grand final meeting to date, which Essendon won by 38 points. The rivalry would flare up again in the 1980s. In <a href="/wiki/1982_VFL_season" title="1982 VFL season">1982</a>, the Krakouer brothers, <a href="/wiki/Jim_Krakouer" title="Jim Krakouer">Jim</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phil_Krakouer" title="Phil Krakouer">Phil</a>, led the Kangaroos to an Elimination Final win. Essendon had their revenge a year later, winning a Preliminary Final by 86 points. The rivalry was re-ignited in the late 1990s and early 2000s due to the on-field success of the two sides. In preparation for the <a href="/wiki/1998_AFL_finals_series" title="1998 AFL finals series">1998 finals series</a>, and despite losing six of their last eight to the Kangaroos, legendary Essendon coach <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Sheedy_(Australian_footballer)" title="Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)">Kevin Sheedy</a> publicly labelled North executives <a href="/wiki/Greg_Miller_(Australian_footballer)" title="Greg Miller (Australian footballer)">Greg Miller</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mark_Dawson_(footballer)" title="Mark Dawson (footballer)">Mark Dawson</a> soft in response to comments from commentators that his Essendon team was soft. The Kangaroos beat Essendon in the much-hyped encounter that followed (a Qualifying Final), and North fans pelted Sheedy with marshmallows as he left the ground, although Sheedy was seemingly unfazed by the incident, encouraging a "Marshmallow Game" the next year and relishing in the fact that Sheedy's ulterior motive was to build up the game and draw a large crowd, which proved to be correct, drawing in 71,154 people to attend the game. In <a href="/wiki/2000_AFL_season" title="2000 AFL season">2000</a>, the Bombers thrashed North by 125 points. The biggest VFL/AFL comeback of all time occurred between the two teams when Essendon managed to come back from a <a href="/wiki/Essendon_v_Kangaroos_(2001_AFL_season)" title="Essendon v Kangaroos (2001 AFL season)">69-point deficit</a> to win by 12 points in <a href="/wiki/2001_AFL_season" title="2001 AFL season">2001</a>.

The rivalry intensified in the 1970s when, after being generally unsuccessful in the first few decades since their entry into the VFL, both clubs became dominant and played against each other in three grand finals in four years. North Melbourne defeated Hawthorn in the <a href="/wiki/1975_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1975 VFL Grand Final">1975 VFL Grand Final</a> by 55 points to win their maiden premiership. However, Hawthorn defeated North Melbourne in the 1976 grand final by 30 points and the 1978 grand final by 18 points. From 1974 to 1978 they played together in 10 finals and the 1976 <a href="/wiki/NFL_Night_Series" title="NFL Night Series">NFL Night Series</a> final in Adelaide. During the 1980s, Hawthorn dominated North but during the '90s the results were reversed, including a qualifying final which became the first ever AFL finals match to require extra time, after the scores were level with North Melbourne 12.19 (91) to Hawthorn 13.13 (91) at the end of regular time. North Melbourne dominated extra time, kicking 3.5 to Hawthorn's nil and won by 23 points. The rivalry reignited in the 21st century, firstly with an intense semi-final in 2007. Played in front of a crowd of nearly 75,000, the game was noted not only for its physical intensity, but also the flair and attacking ability of both teams' young playing groups, including a high-flying mark by North forward <a href="/wiki/Aaron_Edwards" title="Aaron Edwards">Aaron Edwards</a>.
