Geelong Cats AFLW team will wear a guernsey celebrating personal connections to Pride across the two weeks of Pride Round in the 2025 NAB AFLW Season.
The guernsey, which was debuted last season, features the colours of the Pride Progress Flag intertwined with the Cats’ iconic blue and white Hoops, as well as a rainbow Geelong Cats logo.
The middle blue hoop features key words, phrases and concepts that players and staff at the Geelong Football Club, as well as the Geelong Cats Pride Supporters Group, contributed as representing what Pride means to them.
Geelong forward/midfielder Mikayla Bowen, who was involved in the design of the guernsey, said she felt it was important to retain elements of the previous Pride guernsey the Cats have worn, while also celebrating the significance of Pride to those within the Geelong Football Club.
The designs used in 2022 Season 7 and the 2023 season had a blended rainbow flag wrapping around the body in a symbolic gesture of support, representation, and embrace.
Geelong’s 2024/2025 Pride Guernsey was designed by a working group involving players, club staff and the Geelong Cats Pride Supporters Group.
Geelong takes on GWS Giants this Saturday at the GMHBA Stadium in the AFLW Pride Round, with first bounce at 3.05pm. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
The Cats will again wear the guernsey when they take on West Coast Eagles at Sullivan Logistics Stadium in Perth in Round 10.
