It’s official - the Bulldogs are back in black with the reveal of the 2026 Alternate Jersey!

Back by popular demand, the Bulldogs will wear a black alternate jersey for the first time since 2017. After first going ‘dark mode’ in 2011 for Captain Andrew Ryan’s final match in the unforgettable Star Wars promotional jersey, the Bulldogs continued to don black throughout the decade across a various array of designs, becoming an iconic part of the Club’s identity.
Highlighted by a modern take on the famous Blue chevron, the 2026 Bulldogs Alternate Jersey is a must-have for Bulldogs Members, supporters and collectors alike.
In an historic first, the Club's proud partners have aligned together to bring a new element to the Alternate Jersey, with every logo on the jersey being monochromatic to contrast and compliment the dark-mode design – including the Bulldogs logo.

“Our Members and supporters absolutely love the blue and white - that's non-negotiable, that's who we are, said CEO Aaron Warburton.
“But this Club has a proud history of alternate jerseys, and we know our fans have been calling for black to return for some time now.
"Last year alone, over 40,000 Bulldogs jerseys were sold. That tells you everything about the connection this community has with this Club.
What makes this one special is the way our partners have come together to make it a reality. This is a genuine collaboration - one I think our fans will be proud to wear when the squad takes the field in Round 16 against Manly.
The first release of 2026 Alternate Jerseys will be available for Bulldogs Members and supporters to purchase online, with shipping and in-store availability beginning on Thursday, May 28th.
