I just saw that!
I was about to post it too.
Good to see the jumper will be filled for the rest of the season, don't get the impression it'll be for much longer though?
Hawthorn will probably wear their white Indigenous strip.
Really dislike the idea of wearing the special round guernsey twice. Tacky.

Did Hawthorn create/release a white Indigenous strip this year?
They'll either wear brown with gold stripes, as has been the case the last few years in away games to Port, or they'll wear gold with brown stripes; either of these with white shorts.
They have this listed on the site, although it is on sale which makes me thing it is a typo when it should just read 2016 since it has the gold AFL logo.

As far as I can remember the only team to announce two Indigenous guernseys was Fremantle.

This is how to do it. Shows utmost respect to Indigenous Australians, the artist, and the art itself. Seeing the TOYO TYRES logo splashed across GWS back, where that beautiful bit of art was irked me today.Sturt in the SANFL also wore an indigenous jumper today against South Adelaide. Interestingly, no sponsorship.

Not agreeing nor disagreeing but I dare say when the brief is given to an artist to design an AFL Indigenous Round jumper they are specifically told where the logos will go on the front and back. So it's not like the clubs are just plastering it on after and the artist had no clue that was going to happen.
You're still designing an AFL guesrnsey after all, complete with the sponsor logos etc that come with that.

Yeah, I can appreciate that.

No doubt the sponsors are on the template they are given, like we had with the Hawks clash template.
That way they can know not to design anything important into that space, or work around the area.
Or maybe I'm being far too simplistic about the designs.

GWS are wearing their Indigenous jumper against Essendon next week. Would imagine Essendon in full home kit with GWS in what they wore today.

Always be ready for white with charcoal shorts vs black with white shorts!

North have worn theirs twice every year, as we haven't had an Indigenous Round game at home.
We'll likely wear ours against Richmond.

Doesn't take much to sew one in.

I don't Understand clubs wearing the jumper for a second time so it can be used in a home game reasoning.
I really liked it when teams did it for Unity with Adam Goodes, but its a little like wearing a Christmas t-shirt for easter when they do it the week or two after.

It's more like leaving your Xmas decorations up until New Year's. It's not strictly the right day for it but everyone gets it and we're all still in a relaxed post-Xmas mood. It's the vibe.

I realise that. Didn't look like the normal GPS pocket and the fact you could see the thing flashing through the fabric probably means it was improvised.
