MORE ABOUT THE PANTHERS INDIGENOUS JERSEY
The 2022 Panthers Indigenous Jersey recognises the many roles played by both men and women in Rugby League within the Darug Nation.
The front of the jersey features the meeting place of BlueBet Stadium on Darug land and the iconic Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains.
The jersey comprises of both male and female handprints, representing both genders as equals. The handprint of J'maine Hopgood (Gurang Gurang) and Chris Smith (Arrernte) is featured on the front and back of the jersey respectively. Accompanying them is the handprints of Taylah Murray (Darkinjung), an important and highly respected member of the Panthers commercial team.
Situated under the handprints, encircled by the symbol for men and women are the Darug Totems, a fruit bat for men and a ringtail possum for women.
The Indigenous designs are accompanied by symbols and patterns painted by Glen Liddiard which demonstrate unity, connection and a common meeting place being BlueBet Stadium, where both men and women unite over their passion and pride for their team.
