AFLW Pride Round has become an annual celebration of diversity and inclusivity by recognising those who identify as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. 2022 will see the second official AFLW Pride Round take place.

The Pride match was originally a contest between Carlton and the Western Bulldogs, but it has since grown to become a competition-wide event.

With 13 teams creating a Pride-inspired jumper to wear during Pride round, we take a look at the 2022 guernsey editions for each club.

Adelaide

The Crows will wear this jumper in their Saturday afternoon clash with North Melbourne.

Brisbane

Brisbane will wear this jumper in their first home game for 2022 in their Saturday night clash with cross-town rivals Gold Coast. The Lions have already worn this jumper in 2022 when they played Adelaide in Round 1.

Carlton

The Blues' fifth pride jumper was designed by the club's Carlton Pride supporter group. The design is inspired by the themes Growth, Struggle and Transgender.

"The second thing we wanted to represent was the struggle of that growth... The group really identified that is has been a battle" Ashleigh Hills, Carlton's Creative Manager, said to Carltons Media team.

Carlton will don their jumper in the Pride match against the Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon.

Collingwoodย 

The Magpies will run out in their inaugural Pride guernsey, designed by players Brianna Davey and Sarah Rowe, in this weekend's match against Geelong.

Collingwood star Sabrina Frederick fronted the media to share her experience as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

"I've been raised to be a very open person, I'm very proud of who I am and I'm not ashamed of anything that I am, I've always gone about my life that way," Frederick said.

"I think AFLW is the benchmark when it comes to inclusivity, that's why it's so significant, because it goes much further than pride- it's how inclusive we are as a community."

Fremantle

Fremantle forward Gemma Houton shared her thoughts on the club's first ever Pride jumper with the club's Media team.

โ€œI think the jumper is amazing in how it looks and what it represents for the Queer community," Houghton said.

โ€œThere's an awesome meaning behind it which makes it really special to me and this group.โ€

Fremantle will take on the Tigers at the Swinburne Centre this Saturday.

Geelong

The Cats will wear the same guernsey as they did in 2021. Captain Meg McDonald spoke on the significance of this jumper to the playing group.

โ€œTo our AFLW team, we're so happy to be a diverse group and to make sure inclusivity is a focus for the entire club, so it's so wonderful that we can celebrate and be part of the round, and that we can pull on the jumper again and raise the flag today.โ€ McDonald said.

The Cats will host the Pies in the opening match of the round on Friday night.

Gold Coast

Gold Coast forward Sarah Perkins shared the excitement of the group as their first-ever Pride guernsey was revealed.

โ€œThe inclusiveness that we all feel, to have it reach the wider community of the LGBTQI+ community and keep getting that visualisation out there is really important for us as a club (to show our support)" Perkins said.

โ€œIt's the first Pride guernsey that I've ever been able to play in so I'm really looking forward to it.โ€

Gold Coast will play in the Qclash against Brisbane on Saturday night.

Greater Western Sydneyย 

The Giants revealed their first-ever Pride jumper on Wednesday, however won't be wearing the jumper in their Round 3 clash with North Melbourne, and will instead be wearing the jumper for the first time next week when they host the Bulldogs.

Melbourne

The Dees' 2022 Pride jumper is designed by former Melbourne forward Tegan Cunningham. This is the club's first pride guernsey and it celebrates the diversity within the club as well as the wider AFLW community.

Melbourne will wear their jumper in their clash with St Kilda this Saturday.

North Melbourne

North will wear their new Pride jumper when they take on the Giants on Sunday afternoon.

North Melbourne Chief Executive Ben Amarfio spoke at the reveal of North Melbourne's inaugural Pride jumper.

โ€œThe Pride guernsey is a representation of our past, our present and our future" Amarfio said.

โ€œWe are proud of our club culture, one based around respect, dignity and inclusion and this guernsey is a great representation of our North Melbourne community."

Richmond

Richmond's jumper was designed by captain Katie Brennan and vice-captain Sarah Hosking. The story told is unique to the playing group.

โ€œThis jumper is about pride and the community, and the bigger picture of everyone finding somewhere to belong,โ€ Sarah Hosking explained.

โ€œBut more than that, it also encompasses what it means to our playing group to wear a Richmond guernsey.

โ€œThis jumper tells a story of a young girl who is finding her way and is on a journey. It means something to everyone in our playing group and is a story about where we come from and where we have to go.โ€

Richmond will host the Dockers this Saturday evening at Punt Road.

St Kilda

The Saints unveiled their 2022 Pride jumper for this weekend's clash against Melbourne on Friday, which is of a similar design to the their AFL side wore in the Pride match last year.

West Coast

West Coast will be the only team not sporting Pride colours in their match against Adelaide, however they lit up the training track with Rainbow colours in the lead up to Pride Round.

Western Bulldogsย 

The Bulldogs' fifth Pride guernsey is designed by Natalie Gills and incorporates the traditional rainbow Pride flag colours intertwined with the club's red, white and blue.

The Bulldogs and the Blues played in the first Pride match back in 2018 and they will face off again in Pride Round this Sunday.
