Zoe gets message together for TAC Cup players

A Geelong TAFE student has kicked a goal for road safety with a hoody design for this year’s TAC Cup.
The Traffic Accident Commission (TAC) this week unveiled Zoe Politis as the winner of its competition to come up with a message for the cup’s young male and female footballers.
“Road safety is all about the community coming together and protecting each other by driving safely,” Ms Politis said.
“I wanted to design something that represented people in the community standing together and supporting each other.”
Ms Politis gave Geelong Falcon players their first look at her hoody design on Wednesday ahead of the first round of the season.
TAC supplies the special-message hoodies each year.
TAC’s Candice McDonald congratulated Zoe on her design, which she said helped the organisation work toward its goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on Victorian roads
“Young people are some of the most vulnerable road users and teaming up with Gordon TAFE and AFL Victoria students helps share important road safety messages.
“TAC Cup players travel across the state with their parents and teammates for their games and by wearing these hoodies every week we’re putting road safety front of mind.
“We’re asking all the players to stand together and be mindful of making safe decisions every time they get behind the wheel.”
