  "account": "Sunshine Coast tattoo artist Mady Peters has added a splash of colour and joy to the AFLW Pride jumper for the Gold Coast Suns. The vibrant design showcases a football boot, carabiner, and a whimsical cartoon dolphin displaying a non-binary flag. The Suns will face the Adelaide Crows in Adelaide today wearing the Pride jumper. Mady Peters, known for her playful and colourful tattoos, created the design to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and promote self-expression. The Gold Coast Suns AFLW players Lily Mithen and Katie Lynch collaborated with Peters to integrate their personalities into the design. Mithen highlighted the team's fun and loud spirit, while Lynch emphasized the game's welcoming environment for many queer individuals. AFLW Head of Players Association Julia Chiera noted that women's football has historically attracted many queer people due to its fearless challenge to social norms. Chiera acknowledged the need for continued progress in the men's game, which currently lacks a dedicated Pride Round. Mady Peters expressed hope that the jumper would bring good luck to the Gold Coast Suns in their final Pride Round match of 2026 against the Adelaide Crows.",
  "summary": "\"Fruity\" dolphins and carabiners might be unexpected designs on an elite sporting uniform, but the Gold Coast Suns will wear a Queensland artist's playful celebration of queer identity this AFLW Pride round.",
