The association football squad of Brisbane, Australia. This image, from the John Oxley Library at the State Library of Queensland, if correctly dated, is more likely a photograph of a Brisbane "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_Australian_rules_football" class="extiw" title="en:Laws of Australian rules football">Melbourne rules</a>" team and possibly the Rangers FC, rather than Brisbane FC, which played in scarlet, as noted above (note also that Melbourne rules was played with a near-spherical ball at that time). Alternatively, given the number of players in the photograph, it may be an association football team from a later date.
