The Collingwood Football Club is giving an Indigenous artist the opportunity to design the club’s 2017 Indigenous playing guernsey.

Worn by the Magpies during the 2017 home and away season, the Indigenous guernsey visually conveys how Australian Rules Football unites Indigenous communities.

Designs should feature the symbolism of the Magpie and will be accepted until Thursday 10 November.

Collingwood’s 2016 guernsey was created by Indigenous artist Nathan Patterson and worn during the Magpies’ round 10 clash against the Western Bulldogs.

“The story behind the design is around the recognition the past and present Indigenous footballers that have played for Collingwood”, Patterson told Collingwood Media in May.  

“It was important to represent the attacking Barrawarn (Magpie) as these birds are extremely territorial.
