The AFL's annual rounds recognising and celebrating indigenous players and culture is named in honour of Sir Doug Nicholls.
Played across Rounds 10 and 11, the much-anticipated weekends of football see all 18 clubs participate in donning unique and specifically designed Indigenous guernseys that have various meanings and symbolism.

Designed by Uncle Trevor Davis, father of Club legend Leon, the inspiration for our 2024 Sir Doug Nicholls Round guernsey design stems from a piece of art by Uncle Trevor called 'Healing.' 🖤💛❤️

Designed by Uncle Trevor Davis, father of former Collingwood player and the Club's Cultural Development Manager Leon Davis, the inspiration for the SDNR guernsey design stems from a piece of art by Uncle Trevor called “Healing.”
Uncle Trevor, who is a proud Wadjuk, Ballardong, Wilman, Wongi and Noongar man, created the painting that depicts a healing process that the club has embarked on over the past few years. The use of rain in the artwork is to represent the club being cleansed.
Design elements and their meanings from Uncle Trevor's art have been transferred onto the Club's black and white striped guernsey.
