"Powered by Shinboners" – If you know, you know. This one's for the true believers of the North Melbourne Football Club.
Why is North Melbourne called the Shinboners? The nickname dates back to the 1800s, when working-class residents of North Melbourne — many of them labourers and slaughterhouse workers — were known as "shinboners" for surviving on the cheapest cuts of meat, including the shin bone. It became a badge of honour: tough, gritty, never-say-die. That Shinboner Spirit has defined the club ever since, from Arden Street Est. 1869 right through to today.
A nod to that legendary spirit — the toughness and never-say-die attitude that keeps supporters coming back week after week, win or lose. Wear it with pride.
