Collingwood Forever, an interactive and evolving archive of the club history, details the history of the club's In Black and White magazine.
Collingwood’s In Black and White magazine has been a regular staple of the Magpie experience for over 50 years.
The first edition was published ahead of the 1960 season, with the tagline ‘Officially printed for the convenience of Members and Supporters by the Collingwood Football Club’, and was originally known as the Collingwood Football Club Newsletter.
Published on Saturday 19 March 1960, the first edition previewed Collingwood’s second intra-club practice match of the season, and featured updates on individual performances in the first practice match, injury and holiday news, as well as a piece titled ‘The Ideal League Footballer’.
