Melbourne’s 2026 Indigenous guernsey is a celebration of the club’s connection to the small Northen Territory town, 440kms out of Alice Springs.
Sitting on the land of the Warlpiri People, the community is home to the Nyirripi Demons.
The heart of Nyirripi beats red and blue, with walls all around town covered by club colours, their love of Demons felt as soon as you arrive. From the red and blue Nyirripi sign as you enter, to the kids running around in Dees’ jumpers, it’s a place that Melbourne holds a special relationship with.
This year’s guernsey has been designed by Vanetta Nampijinpa Hudson, a Nyirripi artist whose works tell the stories passed down by her father and his father before him for millennia. She paints stories of Warlukurlangu Jukurrpa (Fire Dreaming), which relate directly to her land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it.
