ANZAC Jersey

This year’s ANZAC Day jersey features a large red poppy – the symbol of remembrance – on the chest with diggers marching below, to symbolise the importance of reflection but also moving forward.

The poppy is positioned to resemble a rising sun, a nod to the dawn service that has become a commemorative event to reflect on the first anniversary of the landing in Gallipoli and the ‘stand-to’ of the troops at first light.
