This season's AFLW Pride Round will be held across this week in celebration of diversity and inclusivity within our game and our community.

St Kilda will pay homage to some significant markers in LGBTQIA+ history while inspiring and encouraging an inclusive and accepting future for all by wearing its Season Seven Pride Guernsey for this weekend's game.

Pick up your Pride merch for AFLW Pride Round

Designed earlier in 2022 by members of St Kilda’s AFLW playing group – including current players Kate Shierlaw, Alice Burke and Lucy Burke – and the club’s graphic design team and community partners, the guernsey reflects key moments and events that have helped shape an inclusive culture both at the Saints and the broader football community. 

The guernsey adapts a blackout version of St Kilda’s Crusader kit, featuring the Crest motif in the colours of the Pride Progress Flag. Emblazoned on each colour wave are milestone words, detailed in chronological order, which carry significant meaning within the LGBTQIA+ community and Saints’ AFLW playing group.
