Only 200 of North Melbourne’s Indigenous Round jumpers remain in stock ahead of this weekend’s clash with Collingwood.
The guernsey, designed by artist Sarrita King, will be worn by the Roos in Rounds 9 and 10, against Collingwood and West Coast respectively, and celebrates the Indigenous culture of the club and its players.
North fans have again made the most of their opportunity to own a piece of Kangaroos’ history, with a significant number of jumpers already sold through the Roo Shop.
With the remaining 200 jumpers expected to sell quickly, Roos supporters are being encouraged to secure their 2015 ‘icon’ by ordering online at the Roo Shop or visiting our store here at Arden St.
The players match worn jumpers will also be available for auction, so keep an eye on our auction site to get your hands on a special North momento.

Indigenous Round is a celebration of our country's Indigenous culture and people who have shaped Australia's Game and North’s two current Indigenous players, Lindsay Thomas and Daniel Wells were involved in the design of King’s original ‘icon’ design in 2014.
This year marks the 20 year anniversary of the AFL’s Racial Vilification Policy, a policy that was a first in Australian sport.
