Former Adelaide Football Club champion Andrew McLeod has designed a guernsey to be worn by the Club in Indigenous Round.
The Crows will wear the special jumper against Gold Coast at the Adelaide Oval on June 1. It will be the first time in nine years the Club has hosted an Indigenous Round match.
McLeod, a dual premiership player and two-time Norm Smith Medallist, created the design, which tells his story of the Crows.
It features a Crows head joined with a map of SA communities, who are linked with Adelaide and its indigenous program.
There are also 24 stars, representing the number of seasons the Club has been part of the community.
The Crows footprints are in honour of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players who have been on Adelaide’s playing list.
The number seven boomerang represents a warrior culture, which is strong, proud and resilient.
McLeod, who in conjunction with his wife Rachel also manages the Club’s Indigenous programs, is extremely proud of the final design.
“This unique design is my story of the Adelaide Football Club, embracing our history, community and past and current players,” McLeod said.
“The Club has a strong and proud culture, just like the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
“The jumper represents and reflects how the Club’s journey through football bring the community together.”
