List of club nicknames, from the origins of the game to the end of the 19th century

^{[153][154][155]}

TEAM	NICKNAME	Notes
Brunswick	The Pottery Workers	[156]
Carlton	The Butchers	name coined in the early 1870s because of their tight-fitting blue dungaree jackets
	The Blues	still used – from the mid-1870s, players wore blue stockings imported from America (also attributed to 1871 captain, Jack Donovan, who wore a dark blue cap)
Collingwood	The Magpies	still used – from inception, the club has worn black and white stripes
Essendon	The Same Olds	after the last line in the chorus of an early club song, penned by a supporter: "We're always the same old Essendon" (used until as late as the 1920s)
	The Dons	still sometimes used – appears to have first been used in the 1900s (decade)
Fitzroy	The Maroons	because of their distinctive Maroon canvas jerseys
Footscray	Prince Imperials	not really a nickname but the official name of the club that was to change its name to Footscray preparatory to joining the VFA in 1883
	The Tricolours	still sometimes used
	'Scray
Geelong	The Pivotonians	the port of Geelong was the pivot between the capital of Melbourne and the Ballarat goldfields
	The Seagulls
	The All Whites	from 1872 to 1875, they wore an all-white uniform
Hawthorn	The Yellow and Blacks	after changing its name from Riversdale in 1889, this was the colour of the uniforms
	The Redlegs	from 1892 to 1901, they wore a red & blue jumper and red stockings
	The Mayblooms	the Hawthorn bush (also known as Crataegus) blooms in May
Melbourne	The Invincible Whites	from 1861, they wore an all-white uniform
	The Redlegs	still sometimes used – from the mid-1870s, players wore red stockings imported from America
	The Fuschias	a red cap worn concurrently with the red stockings gave birth to this name
Port Melbourne	The Borough	still used
Richmond	Richmondites	probably used in the late 1880s – appears not to have been popular
	The Wasps	presumably inspired by the black & yellow colours
	The Tigers
St Kilda	The Seasiders
	The Seagulls
	The Saints	still used – appears to have been coined immediately after their readmission to the VFA in 1886.
South Melbourne	The Bloods	still occasionally used by successor club Sydney Swans, particularly when the club wants to highlight its Melbourne roots – then as now, their jersey featured red on white
University	The Students	an obvious nickname, even used in VFA days[157]
	The Professors	ditto
Williamstown	The Villagers
	'Town
