Mavs unveil dress for First Nations Round

The Melbourne Mavericks’ First Nations Round dress is a salute to the continuing evolution of the club and its connection to the traditional owners of the land on which they play.

For the third consecutive season, Bayley Mifsud – known by her Aboriginal name, Merindah-Gunya, meaning ‘Beautiful Spirit’ in Peek Whurrong language – has once again brought her storytelling to the Melbourne Mavericks, designing the team dress for their home clash against the Lightning this weekend.

Gunya is a well-respected Aboriginal artist within the industry, having also designed the AFL ball for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, and being invited to pain a similarly-themed mural at Marvel Stadium.
