Magpies Honour First Nations Culture with Stunning 2025 AFLW Indigenous Guernsey
Collingwood Football Club is proud to unveil its stunning 2025 AFLW Indigenous Guernsey, a powerful tribute to the club's deep connection with First Nations culture and community. This year’s design is particularly significant, representing a continuation of a journey that began with the Club’s initial recognition of Indigenous heritage.
The guernsey will be proudly worn by the Magpies across two pivotal rounds of the AFLW season – Round 3 against Naarm (Melbourne) at Victoria Park and Round 4 against North Melbourne at Arden Street. These Indigenous Rounds provide a vital platform to celebrate and acknowledge the rich history, resilience, and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
A Design Rooted in Heritage: The design itself is a collaboration between Collingwood and First Nations artists, ensuring authenticity and respect. It incorporates significant cultural motifs and storytelling elements that reflect the club’s commitment to reconciliation and building meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities. Specific details about the design’s symbolism will be revealed closer to the games, promising a deeper understanding of the artwork’s meaning and significance.
More Than Just a Guernsey: This isn't just about wearing a special jersey; it's about actively supporting and amplifying First Nations voices. Collingwood is committed to partnering with Indigenous organisations and initiatives throughout the season, using the platform provided by the AFLW to raise awareness and drive positive change. The club understands the importance of ongoing education and engagement to foster a truly inclusive and respectful environment.
A History of Recognition: The Indigenous Guernsey has become a cherished tradition for Collingwood, evolving over time to reflect the club’s growing understanding and appreciation of First Nations culture. The initial design, proudly worn in previous seasons, served as a foundation for this year’s powerful and evocative artwork. This ongoing evolution demonstrates the club's dedication to continuous improvement and meaningful engagement.
Fan Support and Availability: Fans will be able to purchase the 2025 AFLW Indigenous Guernsey from the Collingwood Superstore and online. A portion of the proceeds from each jersey sold will be donated to a designated First Nations charity, further amplifying the positive impact of this initiative.
