The Dogs will debut their 2025 Pride guernseys for the occasion, which have been designed by Bibbulmun Noongar and Latino transgender LGBTQIA+ contemporary artist Jay Kulbardi (he/they).
The design centres around ‘fluidity’ and water, with Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree forming part of the inspiration.
Friday night’s Pride Round at Mission Whitten Oval will mark a huge celebration of LGBTQIA+ diversity, with the first bounce set for 7:15pm AEDT. Tickets are available here.
The match will also be broadcast live and free on Channel 7, with coverage starting from 7pm.
The exclusive Pride Range, including the guernsey, is available for purchase at the Bulldogs Shop.
