Dockers fans cover Woodside logo as grand final protest grows
Josh Wilson and Kevin Parker covered up the Woodside logo on Dockers gear. They were protesting the oil company's sponsorship.
Fremantle fans are hitting back at the club's partnership with oil and gas giant Woodside. Labor MP Josh Wilson was pictured wearing a Dockers guernsey.
The sponsor's logo was covered up. The picture was shared widely on social media.
Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker wore a covered shirt during a US concert. The Get Off My Chest campaign sprayed over Woodside logos on a Fremantle Markets mural.
It also beamed messages onto Woodside's Perth headquarters. Woodside has held the sponsorship for more than 15 years.
It says it has no plans to end it. The City of Fremantle adopted a policy last year.
The policy opposes advertising by fossil fuel companies on council-owned land.
