c1887 Bury - Football or Rugby?

[hull1904]

Any Bury historians out there?
From my Baines card collection, which are 99% rugby.
From a quick google I see the football club was formed 1885 and had a striped jersey.
Bury also was a rugby town back then, so I'm unsure on this one.
Any info appreciated

Hello

In my opinion it would be football, if it was meant to be Rugby then i would think that some sort of caricature image showing an oval ball perhaps.
