AFLW head Nicole Livingstone says the league will harness the positive momentum and deeper meaning behind the iconic photo of Tayla Harris.
The photograph of Tayla Harris which attracted abuse from trolls on social media is set to be used at the forefront of AFLW's marketing efforts as soon as this week.
Livingstone has seen some of the mock-ups doing the rounds and while she admires the creativity of those behind them, a change of logo does not appear to be on the cards. But that doesn't mean the photo won't be everywhere, particularly with Harris' Carlton still in AFLW premiership contention. "The image is something I think represents everything we try to encapsulate about AFLW - women having the opportunity to do something they haven't had before, and to see the athletic ability of our players, not necessarily the gender.
