Should all team Jerseys have permanent indigenous artwork

[Schauermann]

I actually like the different jumpers for indigenious round. In all other cases stay with the original ones. No away, clash, whatever stuff...

 

[Kwality]

Jerseys are in bum sniffing and tour de france. We wear guernseys.

You heart is in the right place but head says nah.

Footy jumper in my household.

I'd be happy for PAFC to explore this

only because I feel we could come up with something unique that looks good

 

[steelebottom22]

Yes I also think that they should also take a knee for BLM in the national anthem also re name the league to aboriginal football league and all white players must give up 40 percent of their salary to.the aboriginal players to apologize for there white privilege that got them on a afl list

 

[steelebottom22]

Let's bring them out, to expose and shame them.

So anyone that doesn't follow your bullshit.narrative should be shamed well as Derryn Hince would say shame shame shame on men

 

[Marc_Remillard]

No

 

[Chubberson]

derp idea. if clubs wanna do it do it. still a derp narp idea.

 

[MCG-Unit]

Nyet

 

[Joey longshadow]

No

 

[deskc]

I think it should be up to the team they all do a great job with design though. All jumpers look fantastic

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

No. And indigenous jumpers should only be worn on the designated weekend. It ridiculous that club wear them on an ad-hoc approach during other rounds. Significance of what Indigenous round loses its impact.

Agreed.

Cant stop there.

A patch for Aborigines. A patch for women. A patch for multiculturalism. A patch for ANZAC Day. A patch for heritage. A patch for cancer. A patch for MND. Apatch for literacy. And a patch for ACDC reforming.

Maybe if NT get their own team they might make more of an official nod to Indigenous heritage in the initial design process.

You know all of Australia has Aboriginal heritage yeah? All of it.

It’s posts like these which create the need for facepalm emoji. I grew up in east coast aboriginal communities. I just think it might be something for new franchises like NT & Tas to explore from the ground up, and don’t think it would necessarily be the right fit for a growing western suburbs club like the Giants. As well as memorable simplicity signifiers with a few elements maximum being preferable to an indigenous round style design which is more like an artwork.

Nuance. Try it.

Which communities were they bruz?

 

[estibador]

Personally I think the Dockers should consider it. They might actually then have a nice jumper

Lol our jumper design is very similar to yours - minus the silly tag on the back of course.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

No.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

I don’t mind the thought of exploring further ways to recognise the significance of aboriginals to the country and the sport.

Unsure if this has already been suggested.....could it be worth aboriginal players in particular having perhaps a small segment of aboriginal artwork on their jumpers? Perhaps of a design distinct to each player’s mob. If I was aboriginal, I would be very proud to wear something to show I am representing my club, but also my people. Alas for most of us of European heritage, we are so far disconnected from our lands and our people we don’t even really know who we are.

It is a small thing but to be honest, us non-indigenous Australians could do with becoming a lot more interested and informed regarding aboriginal culture, history and beliefs.

It is shocking really that most non-indigenous Australians I have discussed the subject with seem to have very little concept of what actually took place when the European culture imposed itself on Aboriginal lands. I am unsure even as to how much most of the younger generation Aboriginals know about this part of Australia’s history.

I applaud the sentiment of the opening poster, despite not being in complete agreement with the detail of the suggestion.

You forgot the LGBTQ patch! Clearly this means you hate the LGBTQ community ... BIGOT!!!

 

[kendrick]

Absolutely not , I am sick of all the indigenous stuff that has to be constantly adhered to so we can be seen as politically correct... This year we had 2 anthems before finals games, So I assume now we always open with an Aboriginal song before the national anthem??

Leave the game alone and let's not make it about race or religion..it is a game..

I will submit myself to re-education. And get a rainbow tattoo on my forehead.

What’s a Jersey?

Enough with the virtue signalling.

We should also put on traditional Chinese colours and symbols to pay respect for the Chinese-Australian contribution to our modern society.

The football jumper is supposed to cross racial, cultural and spiritual lines.
Every player wearing the same uniform, fighting the same cause, representing the football CLUB.
Individual personalities aren't the thing being represented.
