The Sydney Swans will once again wear our 2026 Marn Grook guernsey when the side hosts Collingwood in Marn Grook at the SCG on Friday, May 15.

The guernsey, adapted from the work of renowned Bidiagal artist Jordan Ardler debuted in 2025 and will once again feature when the side runs out in Round 10. 

The guernsey shares a connection with club’s home, The Sellers & Colless Centre - Sydney Swans HQ, as it has been adapted from the work showcased through the Welcome to Country at the club’s entrance.

Titled “Wuri Wuri”, which translated from the Dharawal language means “sunshine”, the artwork reflects the Sydney Swans community and is an acknowledgement of the Gadigal and Bidiagal lands on which Sydney Swans HQ stands. 

Ardler, who hails from the Bidjigal Clan group and the La Perouse Aboriginal community, has a special connection to the red and white through her grandparents.

“I was excited when I got the call firstly to do the wall in the headquarters and then the guernsey. My grandfather and grandmother were lifetime members of the Swans, so it was a big thing for them,” Ardler said.

“It was emotional because we used to go to the games all the time when we were younger. After my grandfather passed away, we kind of stopped, but we still display his ticket and his old scarf and guernsey … so the whole family was over the moon.”

The central symbol on the design represents the iconic SCG, the Sydney Swans home ground. It acknowledges that the people of the football club are just passing through and are united by the goal of leaving it in a better position than when they arrived.

The white lines near the top of the design represent a mullet trail, depicting travel and telling the story of the club’s journey from South Melbourne to Sydney.

The large four surrounding circular symbols show that the club was built on years of hard work, commitment, belief, and respect – qualities that need to be nurtured. While the symbols on the back of the guernsey represent Swans players, staff, families and fans, and the ancestors of the local community.

Ardler said she was inspired by the club’s rich history and aimed to highlight the deep and varied ways her culture is woven into all facets of life, especially through sport.

“The whole story of the Swans' journey to where they are today, I went through it and I wanted to identify the different things that I could connect with,” Ardler said.

“Through the Swans guernsey I really wanted to emphasise that our culture connects to all aspects of life.”

Sydney Swans forward Malcom Rosas Jnr donned the 2026 Marn Grook guernsey for the first time ahead of the side's upcoming Marn Grook at the SCG clash. 

Born and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory, Rosas Jnr carries a rich football heritage. He is of Ngalakgan and Rembarrnga descent through his mother and has South Sea Islander heritage through his father. He is the grandson of AFL Indigenous Team of the Century member and Australian Football Hall of Famer Bill Dempsey MBE.

"I am excited to play [in my first Marn Grook at the SCG]," Rosas Jnr said.

"The team is on a good roll at the moment and I am excited to don the guernsey for the first time.

"The guernsey is good. The colours go well together, and I like the white top with the blue colours.

"I had a few favourite Indigenous players growing up, Adam Goodes being one of them. I loved watching him play, but also Chad Wingard and Cyril Rioli." Rosas Jnr added.

The design is also featured in the Mens Pre-Match Tee. Sydney’s women’s team will wear the same guernsey for the AFLW’s Indigenous Round later in the year.
