PRIDE GAME
Across Rounds 9 and 10, Essendon will proudly take part in the inaugural Pride rounds. Demonstrating the Club’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, visibility and unity, the Bombers will be wearing their 2025 Pride Guernsey for both rounds.
This year's design highlights symbols representing the LGBTQI+ community, including non-binary, asexual, bisexual, intersex, transgender, gay male, and lesbian communities, provided by the Purple Bombers.
The symbols are displayed to form Essendon’s iconic red sash, celebrating the inclusive culture that builds within the Club every day.
