The Adelaide Crows 2020 AFL Indigenous Guernsey is unique and not available anywhere else in the USA. Adelaide unveiled its 2020 Indigenous guernsey for Sir Doug Nicholls Round at Adelaide Oval on August 23.

Designed by former Crow Eddie Hocking, the Club’s first Indigenous player, the guernsey represents Hocking’s journey with the Adelaide Football Club. Hocking, who played 11 games for the Club, worked with local artist Shane “Mankitya” Cook to craft the design and said it was a “proud” moment in his life.

The design pays homage to not only Hocking’s journey, but the players and the extended Adelaide Football Club family.“I love how Shane has come up with the Crow,” Hocking said.

“The handprint in the middle is mine, which is my respect and contribution to the Adelaide Football Club, being the first Indigenous player… that’s me flying in with the current group.

“The playing group is represented around the chest of the Crow, and down the bottom, with the families and people congregating at Adelaide Oval. Shane has captured everything I’ve asked him to… he added his own style, which is really good, so we sat down a few times and tweaked it from there.”

  • The big Crow represents Eddie, embracing all the players who have worn the guernsey over the past 30 years
  • The symbols in the middle of the Crow represent the playing group
  • The yellow dots in the Crow represent the away venues the Crows play at through Australia
  • The handprint is Eddie’s, representing Eddie’s belonging and respect towards the footy Club
  • The big circle under the hand represents our meeting place, our home ground, Adelaide Oval
  • The white symbols beneath this circle represent families that make up supporters
  • On the back, the red journey line is shown to strengthen from when Eddie joined the Club 30 years ago to present day
  • Written around the journey line are all language groups of past and present Indigenous players who have been at the Club
  • A small Kaurna shield is included on the back neck to represent the Kaurna people as well as a badge of honor for the players
  • We Fly As One has been translated in Kaurna and included on the inside neck line (Ngadlu Kumangka Karrinthi)
