You heard right. The AFL is taking the game abroad one more time!
Devoting an entire round to showing the world what this great game is all about.

However...

All 18 clubs won't be subject to having the flag of the nation they play in
slapped on their jumper next to the Australian flag.

Each club will have a newly made jumper inspired by
the nation they're playing in (similar to Melbourne in China or St Kilda in NZ)

It can be subtle or out of this world
It's up to you!

Spoiler: Fixture

Game 1, Team 1: Adelaide Crows
Location: Shanghai, China

​

RULES

1. Entries can be comprised of just the front of a jumper
   1. Back of the jumper, shorts and socks are optional but encouraged to give a full effect
2. The idea is to create a jumper inspired by the nation the chosen club is playing in while making it look like it belongs to the said club
   1. For example, if Richmond played their game in the USA, a jumper with red and white hoops and blue cuffs won’t be acceptable because it bears no resemblance to the club
3. Teams will be done in the order of the fixture
4. THIS RULE APPLIES TO THE SECOND TEAM IN A FIXTURE: After the first team's jumper is made, the second team's jumper cannot clash with the first team's jumper
5. Accompany your entry with a sentence about the nations reference/influence shown in the jumper
6. You cannot directly copy any past/present designs from the chosen club
   1. You are allowed to use any of the club's current jumpers and make a subtle hint to the nation (EG. Melbourne in China used their home jumper with a dragon on the side or St Kilda in NZ with Maori watermark)
7. Maximum 2 Entries
8. Any other questions, please ask

A bit of a dogs dinner that probably looked better in my head. The character is ‘crow’.

The red base comes from China's love for their national colour, the number panel is a based of the Chinese sky lantern, an oriental pattern covers the jumper, and the characters underneath the lantern read "冰淇淋 - Bīngqílín" or BING CHILLING
What's an FJGD jumper without meme culture right?

Chinese dragon, Chinese colours, Chinese flag.

Out of curiosity, was there any particular method to the locations you’ve chosen for each club? Just wondering why you’ve got Adelaide hosting in China when thats been Port’s baby and they feel more like the logical choice.

Nothing deliberate in the assignment of a nation to a fixture. This is the Gather Round fixture and I searched big nations and a multipurpose venue in them and just assigned it to a random game. I did include venues where an AFL match has taken place (Jiangwan stadium, The Oval and Providence Park)
