2016 is a momentous year for the Brisbane Lions. This year will see the Lions celebrate their third bi-annual Hall of Fame event, where past greats are recognised for their contribution to the Club and inducted into the Hall of Fame. It also marks 100 years since the Fitzroy Football Club reigned Premiers in 1916, and 60 years since Hall of Fame Legend Kevin Murray won the first of his record-breaking nine Best and Fairest awards.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, the team will don a custom designed Fitzroy-inspired commemorative guernsey in their match against Richmond in Round 14 on Saturday 25th June.
And the votes are in!
The Club left the decision-making in the hands of its loyal fans. We needed your votes to ultimately determine which of the three proposed jumper designs you want to see Lions players wearing to commemorate the Hall of Fame for their Round 14 match against Richmond.

1916 ‘Fitzroy’ Design
With nearly 3,000 votes, the 1916 'Fitzroy' design was chosen by our fans as a clear frontrunner at 60% in favour.
Based off the same uniform, with the traditional FFC monogram in place of the lion, this design celebrates a rich Fitzroy history. The design boasts a unique “Diamond (Jubilee)” watermark in the background as well as an added “100 years on” caption on the back hem commemorating the 1916 Premiership.
