Black armbands have been worn on the field to honour a death in the community for decades. This year, for TAC and AFL Victoria’s Road Safety Round, everyone in the community will wear a new kind of armband. One that will help us band together to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on the road.

TAC & AFL Victoria
Road Safety Round
Across the 16-18th of July, every AFL Victoria club will run out onto the field for the TAC & AFL Victoria Road Safety Round. But this year, it’s not just the players who will be participating. It’s the entire community. To commemorate their commitment to eliminating deaths and serious injuries on the roads, captains, coaches, players and the surrounding community will wear their support in the form of a blue armband. These bands will be available at your local football club and handed out to anyone who wants to get behind the cause. On every armband lies a QR code containing stories from an ever-growing number of Victorians on why road safety matters to them.
#tacbandtogether
Everyone has a reason for wanting safer roads. We want to hear yours. Record your story on your smart phone, share it on your socials using #tacbandtogether, and wear the band this weekend to show your support. Let’s band together for safer roads.
Get your band from your
local football club or print one here.
