Sir Doug Nicholls Round
In celebration of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, Collingwood’s guernsey will feature a design by Ross Morgan Jnr, Wayne Morgan and Ross Morgan Snr, all well-known Aboriginal artists who grew up on their traditional country in the Shepparton and Mooroopna area.
The design tells the story of the 1939 Cummeragunja mission walk off, a protest by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community over the conditions on the mission and their treatment from the government. Sir Doug and members of his family were among those who left Cummeragunja to settle in areas such as Shepparton, Echuca, Mooroopna, Daish’s Paddock and The Flats.
The long-necked turtle is the totem of the Yorta Yorta People. The design on the shell of the top-left turtle represents the sixteen family groups of their nation. The diamonds symbolise the strength and resilience of ancestors and Elders who led the walk off, with the white diamonds representing non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who supported the Yorta Yorta community. The hands reflect both the youth of the community and Collingwood’s support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The meeting places where members of the community sat and talked before the walk-off are depicted on the right hand side of the guernsey. To purchase a guernsey, visit the Official Club Shop.
Free the Flag
Collingwood believes the Aboriginal flag should continue to play an unifying role with people and communities right across Australia. As such, the club supports the Free the Flag campaign. The Aboriginal flag is a national symbol and a central part of First People's national identity. The Aboriginal Flag was proclaimed as a National Flag of Australia in 1995 and should be free of licensing restrictions that currently limit its use.
