Tasmania Devils Launched as AFL 19th Club

‘Our Tasmania Devil is a free spirited, powerful, and authentic identity,’ club chair Grant O'Brien said.

The AFL 19th club will be known as the Tasmania Devils and wear a dark green jumper emblazoned with a yellow map of the island state.

The club, which was granted a licence in May to enter the national AFL (Australian Football League) competition in 2028, unveiled its colours, mascot and inaugural jumper at venues across the state on Monday night, March 18.
