The Albury-Wodonga Steamers will take to Murrayfield this weekend with a different look.
The club will be donning special Indigenous jumpers for their round 11 clash against Griffith on Saturday.
Local artist Dan Clegg designed the jumpers for the home side, which took around eight weeks to complete.
"They tie in well with the local region that our club is based in," Steamers president Mick Raynes said.
"The players are really pumped and looking forward to wearing them on the day."
The men's and women's senior jumpers will then be auctioned off on Saturday night at the Steamers' mid-year ball, with the proceeds going towards Albury-Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service.

It's shaping up to be a huge clash between the Steamers and Griffith, with both teams eyeing off a spot in the top four of the Southern Inland Rugby Union competition.
It will be a critical game for the Steamers, with a win sure to propel their season as well as their finals aspirations.
"One of them will cement their place in the four, so that will be the priority for the day," Raynes said.
The Steamers are coming off the back of a 14-point win against Leeton at home last weekend and will look to carry over the same defensive pressure they possessed in that clash to get them over the line on Saturday.
Five rounds will remain to be played in the competition after this weekend.
The game between the Steamers and Griffith will kick-off at the earlier time of 2:30pm at Murrayfield.
