The uniforms have been designed by First Nations artist Reko Rennie with the uniforms offering what described as a “ bold, contemporary reinterpretation of Australia’s iconic green and gold”.

“It’s been incredible to work on these kits, connecting the game I love, First Nations culture and the athletes and fans who make up the *********** football community,” Rennie said.

“It’s a huge achievement and it’s so wild that I’ve had this opportunity and I’m representing my community. If someone had told 12-year-old Reko, a diehard football fan, that one day I’d have this opportunity, I would have never believed them!”
