"Colour of Your Jumper" is a song written by Australian singer songwriter Archie Roach in 1993, following an incident where Indigenous Australian Football League player Nicky Winmar was receiving racial abuse from spectators resulting in Winmar lifting up his jumper and, facing to the crowd, pointed to his skin. A demo of this version was later included on the 2013 compilation album Creation.
In May 2010, Roach performed the song at Melbourne's Federation Square as part of the Long Walk festivities.[1]
In May 2013, Roach re-recorded and released "Colour of Your Jumper" which was released as a single. Roach performed the song live on The Marngrook Footy Show on 23 May 2013[2] and at the AFL Indigenous Round Saturday "Dreamtime at the 'G" game on 25 May 2013 between Essendon and Richmond.[3]
The song was re-recorded again and included on Roach's 2018 album, Dancing with My Spirit.
