Richmond has launched its 2026 Dreamtime guernsey, which has been designed by Club legend Michael Mitchell alongside his daughters, Meghan and Sam.

In honouring the tradition of Dreamtime at the ‘G, Richmond continues to reserve wearing the specially designed guernsey for the first time for the Dreamtime game. This year’s Dreamtime at the ‘G clash against Essendon is scheduled for Round 11, on Friday, May 22.

In 2011, Richmond became the first club in the AFL to have a specially designed guernsey for the competition’s showpiece game. Click here to read more on the history of the Dreamtime guernsey.

“Richmond’s Dreamtime guernseys are a cultural anchor point for the Club,” Richmond’s Indigenous Cultural Capability Manager, Luke Murray, said.

“This year’s design by Michael Mitchell and his family tells a strong, powerful story about his family, his football journey, his people and connection to land.  

“We can’t wait to see the Tigers proudly wear the guernsey for the first time in Round 11 for Dreamtime at the ‘G, which is one of the most cherished nights on the football calendar.”

Richmond’s AFLW team will also wear the guernsey, with further details to be announced soon.

Proceeds from Dreamtime merchandise will help support Indigenous youth through the Korin Gamadji Program.
