Indigenous Flag Wammed

[Scollop]

Pity. The flag should belong to all indigenous peoples not to some company out for profit.

Yes it should, totally agree with the sentiment.

But if it was sold by Harold Thomas or some legal agreement was reached between Thomas and the WAM organization as the article alludes WAM have every right to receive compensation for the usage.

Probably a very naive thought but perhaps the government could purchase the rights from WAM and free the usage for all indigenous people and sporting organisations to use in a not for profit sense.

Joffa found his heart muscle! Good for you Joff

Great sentiment. Great idea

Or maybe these WAM blokes could do the right thing and hand it over to the people, they’ve milked it for 50 years, I’m sure that’s long enough.

They brought in 2018

Can someone explain WTF this is all about?

So the Aboriginal flag or whatever its officially called (yellow sun in middle, red bottom, black top) cant be used anywhere anymore as its owned by a clothing brand/company?
Is that the same deal when flying this flag at government buildings, etc?

red : colour of land *
yellow : sun
black : colour of skin


* unofficially , the colour of our blood spilt

Last weekend, ABC Grandstand spoke to St Kilda's Noongar and Yamajti star, Paddy Ryder, about the fact the Saints would not be playing in their Indigenous jumper this week.

"All the boys are pretty disappointed," Ryder said.

"We're running out with red, black and yellow socks but it's nowhere near the same thing. We're spewing."

matty parker designed it
the club couldn't get em made in time
(is my understanding)

[saintbob]

The fact that the Australian Government allowed the flag to be privately owned is an absolute disgrace!!!

I also can’t believe the club has failed to order the Matty Parker designed jumper, especially after stuffing up the Maddy’s Vision jumper order.

Never trust the ABC, they always lie.

Great news the jumpers have arrived and the boys will be wearing them.
But first there is the issue of copyright negotiations with the Parker family.
Item 1. Matty gets to play. Gets a guernsey so to speak.

- Harold Thomas claims he designed the flag that is known as the Aboriginal flag (but there was contention that couldn't be proven because the other person who is said to have designed it is no longer alive)
- In 1995 the Aboriginal Flag was recognised by the Australian Government as an official 'Flag of Australia' under the Flags Act 1953.
- Harold Thomas registered personal ownership of the design.
- The directors of Birubi Art Pty Ltd who were flagged by ACCC for the sale of fake Aboriginal products made in Indonesia were fined over $2million by the Federal government. At least one of directors of Birubi then established a company called WAM clothing and bought a licence from Thomas as the sole owner of the copyright for it's reproduction on clothing, and it has been reported that they have extended that licence since.
- AFL would have to pay royalties to WAM to use the flag on apparel, but it is sketchy whether they can or cannot paint the flag in the centre circle, so have chosen not to.

I'm guessing Parker in this week and with the signifcance of the jumper should add a bit of spice to the forward line.

Great looking jumper, love the (goanna ) pic on the LHF panel creeping top the centre.

Interesting pic, the boys look very serious & ready for business in both pics, where B Hill normally wheres a massive smile in most pics.
