Melbourne has become the first club to embrace the casual clothing trend, with squad members arriving to Sunday's game in their choice of attire.
Latrelle Pickett wore all black, Koltyn Tholstrup rocked boardies, Jake Lever brought a duffle bag, Max Gawn sported a tank top and Ed Langdon brought a bicycle with him.
But it was Changkuoth Jiath's tee and jeans combo which arguably won the pre-game fashion stakes.
The move aligns with Melbourne's strategy of embracing personality and having more fun in 2026, which has been visible in all elements of the footy club from the brand of footy they have played to their social media strategy.
It follows pre-season reports that there was a push from many in the industry, including players to arrive at games in casual attire and allow them to express themselves through fashion.

It is common-place in American sport, with stadium arrivals an opportunity for players to showcase a different side of themselves and providing fans with a different way to connect with their favourite players.
Collingwood pair Isaac Quaynor and Patrick Lipinski and Hawthorn's Jack Ginnivan are among the big name players to have embraced fashion in recent years.
Melbourne will be looking to build on a 1-1 record against Carlton on Sunday afternoon.
