Richmond has unveiled its Dreamtime guernsey that the players will wear against Essendon in the annual Dreamtime at the G match in round 10.
The jumper was designed by Aboriginal artist Josh Muir and inspired byย Richmond duo Daniel Rioli and Nathan Drummond and captures the story of peace, love and unity.
โRioli being from the Tiwi Islands, and Drummond being from Yorta Yorta, I decided to fuse both traditional patterns into one,โ Muir said.
โ(It incorporates) Bunjil the creator and the old people, using the traditional colours of Richmond designed around the sash.
โBunjil is seen as a creator traditionally, and the old men are our elders, which is a really important part of our culture, paying respect to our elders.
โThey fuse together to acknowledge the creator โ past and present and the emerging of Aboriginal culture.โ
All proceeds from the sale of Dreamtime-related merchandise will go to the Korin Gamadji Institute and the Richmond Football Clubโs Indigenous programs.
