Looks like it’s been spotted in the wild. Very busy!

 

 

Looks too much "Western Bulldogs"

Not our best. 

It's rather busy. The red and the blue parts are the wrong way around as well.

Agree, but lots of indigenous artwork looks ‘busy’.  IMO, the underlying story that it tells is its most important feature.

Was always going to be a hard task to follow up on the 2021 indigenous jumper,

could be determined by who were playing during indigenous rounds?

and is that similar to/the same as what the girls wore in season just gone?

Art is... always subjective and always cultural.

And from what I know as a privileged white middle aged bloke... there will be a story that I can't connect with by merely looking at it...

...until it is put in print to me, in which case I then reflect on the paucity of ritual and connection to land that my ancestors that emigrated here 150 years ago passed on to me.

That's when the object that I am looking at makes sense, and transcends my socially constructed version of beautiful art.

 

Should have been a darker blue sky to avoid any potential similarities to the Doggies. Not a bad design, but not our best either. Personally i would have had either the eagle or boomerang. Not both. 

Have I missed the MFC letting us know the story of this one? Can't wait to read about it, looks interesting.

Fair point Turner. I've just looked and the Sir Doug Nicholls rounds are 10 & 11 which are both away games against sides that predominantly wear royal blue, West Coast and North Melbourne. I think I read somewhere that these guernseys get planned a long way ahead of time though and therefore probably before the fixture is released. 

All I can see is the gold AFL on it. And that makes it a masterpiece. In fact that makes it our best ever indigenous jumper.

Full frontal

I hope that's a velcro Hawk.

My God that's a whole lot of psychobabble.

Self haters are embarrassing.

Terrible. Just awful compared to the beautiful efforts of past seasons. At least my lovely wife won't be asking me to buy this one as she has in the past. Save some coin.

Blue sky, red earth. I get why they've swapped it around for the story telling, which I assume they will release an article on, and still easily identifiable as Melbourne. Not my favourite design but I like it nonetheless.

We've had some great Indigenous guernseys but i'm afraid this one is an eyesore

Myself, my wife (who is of Indigenous descent) and both my boys (also of Indigenous descent) love this year's jumper, last year's was awful.  Just our opinion.

Yep, not a fan of the above. I loved this one (2016):

and Nev's 2020 design:

Has some very similar elements to the AFLW one, so I wonder if Krstel Petrevski designed this one as well?

There's some great information about the meaning behind it all here:

AFLW: Every club's 2022 Indigenous Round guernsey

Thanks. 
 

The Saints one was brilliant! 

This is...busy.

Hopefully a long sleeve (for both the Anzac and Indigenous) will be ordered for Langdon or Hunt or those gents won't be happy.

Last year they didn't have one for either.
