Dust Off Your MCC Membership: Rodd & Gunn Just Launched An AFL Quarter Zip Collab

New Zealand menswear stalwart Rodd & Gunn has officially entered the fantasy football chat – the AFL chat, specifically – with a limited-edition capsule collection that takes every club's colours and runs them through a premium lifestyle filter.

As if by some divine miracle, we finally have supporter wear you'd actually want to be seen in at the G, and even at The Bot after the game, not just huddled under a blanket at Kardinia Park in July.

The collab seems so obvious, and so tastefully executed, that you’d be forgiven for wondering why Rodd & Gunn hadn’t done this before.

The collection centres on two of the brand's signature pieces: the Foresters Peak quarter-zip sweat and the fan-favourite Otago sweatshirt, each reimagined across all eighteen AFL clubs. Crafted from Australian-grown Good Earth Cotton, the detailing is OG Rodd & Gunn – embroidered club crests, tonal colourways that nod to heritage without cosplaying as a 1987 VFL guernsey, and a fit that sits somewhere between "Yeah, I take footy seriously" and "my R.M. Williams have never seen red dirt once."

Fronting the campaign is Geelong great Tom Hawkins, shot on location at the MCG in a moody, sharp editorial lookbook that could sit in the pages of B.H. magazine – which, for the record, is exactly where we think it belongs.

This is a rare collab that doesn't feel like a licensing cash grab. Rodd & Gunn has over eighty years of sport-adjacent lifestyle pedigree, and the execution here reflects that. Whether you bleed navy blue, tiger yellow or teal, there's something in this range worth lacing up for.

The collection is available for pre-order from 23 June via Rodd & Gunn, with a national release on 1 July through Myer and all Australian Rodd & Gunn boutiques.

Boss Hunting is the exclusive launch partner for the Rodd & Gunn x AFL capsule collection.
