David Hille from the Essendon Football Club along with Mr Justin Madden launched the Road Safety round and unveiled the specially designed jumpers. Essendon wore the jumper against Collingwood on Friday night and the Bendigo Bombers, Coburg Tigers, Bendigo Pioneers and Oakleigh Chargers wore the seatbelt jumpers for their games over the weekend.
Alex Johnson, Oakleigh Chargers captain attended the launch and modelled the seatbelt jumper in the Chargers colours.
Mr Madden said the inaugural Road Safety Round had been dedicated as part of a month long Transport Accident Commission campaign to mark the 40th anniversary of the new seatbelt laws.
