Every year the AFL pays respect to Indigenous culture with two rounds that show a beautiful display of art and traditions depicted on their playing guernseys.
Sir Doug Nicholls was a fighter for social justice and became the first Aboriginal-Australian to be knighted in 1972, and his impact continues on even today.
Here's how each AFL club will be suiting up for Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

Curated by Djab Wurrong and Tarni Jarvis, the artwork "captured the different people who are a part of the club and the Collingwood community, from its players and staff to the supporters," quoted Jarvis.
The design will also be used in the club's netball team's upcoming matches.
