Smithton's Circular Head Saints will run out this weekend in a guernsey paying homage to the Aboriginal people of Tasmania's north west.

Donning an Indigenous strip for the third consecutive year, the Saints will sport the guernsey in a special Sunday fixture, marking the commencement of NAIDOC Week.

The strip was designed by Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation cultural manager, Camilla Woolley, who said the artwork featured on the guernsey pays homage to the region's women and their traditional lifestyle.

"It pays respects to the Aboriginal women of the north west and their deep connection to sea country," Ms Woolley told National Indigenous Times.

"As skilled divers, they collected the resources from the coastline, which include an array of seafood, including the crayfish."

Ms Woolley said the female silhouettes featured on the front of the guernsey represent both Aboriginal women completing traditional tasks and the demographic of the state's north-west Aboriginal nation.

"The spirits are the nine women figures, which are in the middle of the jumper," she said.

"They represent the women as the divers and collectors, but also symbolises the nine tribes that make up our north west nation."

The design also features a diagonal pattern, deliberately included by Ms Woolley to highlight a resource used extensively in Tasmanian Aboriginal culture.

"The wavy lines represent the kelp, which is another integral resource to the Aboriginal people of the north west," Ms Woolley said.

"And the yellow wavy lines represent the sand and the tides that batter and shape the coastline."

Ms Woolley said the theme also "a bit of a nod" to the Circular Head Saints women's team, who returned to the North West Football League competition this season.

The Saints Indigenous guernsey is the third consecutive strip designed by Ms Woolley.

She said it was an honour to again be given an opportunity to recognise north west Tasmania's Aboriginal population through her artwork.

"For me it's really about education, raising education and awareness and empowering those Indigenous people within my community to kind of be proud of who they are," she said.

The Saints face the Penguin Blues at the Circular Head Recreation Ground from 9am on Sunday.
