Get Kayo now ><\/a><\/p>\nAlongside the team logo, it said: \u201cThis Mainlander supports Tasmania Devils.\u201d<\/p>\n
Due to the stickers being sent out by address, some Tassie-born fans who moved interstate have still received them.<\/p>\n
One of those people was Edwards \u2014 born and raised in Tasmania \u2014 who hit back at the slogan live on air.<\/p>\n
Speaking on The Hit Network, he said: \u201cI was excited to support an AFL team that we always wanted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re sponsoring the Hawthorn Hawks and then all of a sudden North Melbourne (play) in Hobart, so they (Tasmania) don\u2019t have to pay for an AFL team.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinally the Tasmanians get what we deserve \u2014 a team.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what I got in my member pack the other day for $25? I got one sticker. This is a sticker I will not be putting on the back of my car.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Referencing the slogan, he jokingly went on to add: \u201cUm, where I\u2019m from, that\u2019s a slur.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it was pointed out that he does live on the mainland, he said: \u201cI\u2019m a Tasmanian who lives on the mainland.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo this club, who the whole thing is about \u2018Let\u2019s be local\u2019 is calling the people who care and support the most \u2018mainlanders\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edwards then finished his tirade by addressing Devils CEO Brendon Gale, saying: \u201cBrendon Gale, if you\u2019re listening, this is bulls***.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Devils responded to Edwards, posting: \u201cCertainly sounds like a mainlander, we\u2019ll send you a new sticker.\u201d<\/p>\n
