The Collingwood Football Club is pleased to unveil its 2024 AFLW Indigenous guernsey.
Collingwood’s AFLW team will wear the guernsey across the AFL’s Indigenous Round matches, in Rounds Nine against Carlton in front of a home supporter base at Victoria park, and in Round 10 against Melbourne at IKON Park.
The guernsey was first worn by the side’s AFL counterpart during the AFL’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round in May this year.
Designed by Uncle Trevor Davis, father of former Collingwood player and the Club’s Cultural Development Manager Leon Davis, the inspiration for the guernsey design stems from a piece of art by Uncle Trevor called ‘Healing’.
Uncle Trevor, who is a proud Wadjuk, Ballardong, Wilman, Wongi and Noongar man, created the painting that depicts a healing process which the Club has embarked on over the past few years.
Design elements and their meanings from Uncle Trevor’s art have been transferred onto the Club’s black and white striped guernsey.
The use of rain in the artwork is to represent the Club being cleansed. The centrepiece of the guernsey represents the Collingwood Football Club. The Club is a meeting place for all people across the land to come together to share their experiences. The footprints represent the people travelling to the Club.
Further detail on the story of the guernsey can be found on the Club’s website.
