Anzac Eve game - guernsey revealed
« on: April 10, 2019, 09:03:46 PM »




Richmond’s 2019 Anzac Eve guernsey design is inspired by Laurence Binyon’s poem, For the Fallen, and will be worn by the Tigers during the traditional Anzac Eve match against Melbourne, on Wednesday, April 24 at the MCG.

Designed by PUMA, Richmond’s on-field apparel partner, the guernsey features Morse code of the third and fourth stanza of the poem. The Morse code replicates the architecture of the walls of the Education Centre courtyard at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne.

A written version of the poem is also featured on the front of the jumper, along with the Anzac logo.

The back of the jumper pays tribute to fallen Richmond players who died serving our country, or their death was attributed to war service.

The tribute includes the playing years of each fallen player, as well as their age when they passed away.
