The GIANTS are proud to unveil the club’s first-ever Pride Jumper.

For a second season in a row, the AFLW and the GIANTS will celebrate a competition-wide Pride Round.

The designated round provides an opportunity for every club to celebrate the inclusiveness of football.

The GIANTS will proudly debut their jumper for their first home game of the 2022 season when the club celebrates Pride Round at Henson Park in round four against the Bulldogs.

The GIANTS will celebrate this weekend’s festivities by wearing their 2022 Pride tees during the warm-up. 

AFLW players Rebecca Privitelli, Katherine Smith and Lisa Steane spoke about the importance of the round and the significance of the jumper.

“It’s so important and such a big step for our club and our supporters,” said Privitelli.

“I know our girls are really excited to pull on the jumper, it’s a big part of all our lives and I hope our fans feel the same way.

“There’s a lot of young boys and girls out there that need role models to look up to and I think the AFLW are doing an incredible thing to give young women and men that opportunity.”

When speaking on the importance and significance of the round, a common theme was pride, love and acceptance.

“Pride Round is so important cause it allows everyone to celebrate who they are as an individual,” said Smith.

“Making sure everyone is loved and accepted for who they are, who they want to love and making sure they love themselves.”

Steane echoed Smith’s comments:

“It is an opportunity for everybody to celebrate their uniqueness and feel as though they’re accepted in a community full of different people and celebrated for who they are.”

The AFL will celebrate Pride Round this weekend across the competition with the GIANTS to celebrate their own Pride Round and play in the jumper for the first time in round four at Henson Park against the Western Bulldogs.

Tickets are now on sale for the round four match, which will also mark the GIANTS’ first home game of the season.

The GIANTS’ 2022 Pride Round tees and jumpers are available for purchase via the GIANTS Shop.

The GIANTS travel to Melbourne to take on the Kangaroos this Sunday.
