Collingwood has today unveiled its 2026 Anzac Day guernsey.
The jumper honours the stories of the young VFL / AFL players who wore Collingwood stripes as well as serving their country as an ANZAC.
This year's design depicts a powerful visual contrast of the footballers who became soldiers and how their lives were forever changed.
On the front of the jumper, silhouettes of soldiers stand in formation, paying tribute to their service and sacrifice.
At the centre, one soldier sounds The Last Post, a military tradition marking the close of the day. Behind them, the Gallipoli landscape stretches across the guernsey, reflecting both the physical and emotional climb soldiers endured.
At their feet, poppies bloom – a powerful symbol for Australians – recalling the flowers that grew across the battlefields of the First World War.
On the back of the jumper, silhouettes of footballers on match-day highlight the memory of the life they once lived and left behind.
In the background stands Victoria Park, Collingwood’s spiritual home, where many of the Club’s players once took the field before answering the call to serve. Victoria Park was a second home to many, representing family and community.
This contrast of the front and back of the jumper highlights the sudden and significant change experienced by a generation of young men whose stories continue to shape the Club and Australia’s history today.

Collingwood defender Isaac Quaynor said the guernsey carries an important responsibility in ensuring these stories are never forgotten.
"Each Anzac Day invites us to pause and remember those who served our country, while continuing to learn and share their stories," Quaynor said.
"This guernsey is a powerful reminder of how quickly life changes for many - from footballers to soldiers - and the courage it took to answer that call.
"As a Club, wearing this jumper is about honouring those players and ensuring their stories and sacrifices are never forgotten."
Collingwood’s 2026 Anzac Day Guernsey is now available via shop.collingwoodfc.com.au or at the Official Collingwood Club Shop, with part of the proceeds donated to the ANZAC Day Appeal.
