For the first time in the club’s history the club colours on the sleeves of the jersey have been replaced with the colours from both the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag.
A signifcant part of the club’s jersey range in recent years, the 2023 Indigenous Jersey has a number of features which are consistent amongst fan favourite designs of the past, including male and female totems of the Darug Nation, the fruit bat and ring-tail possum as well two handprints representing gender equality and the role males and females play in Rugby League on and off the field.
Two black cockatoo’s ‘Garmit’ overlook the land in which we unite, three kangaroos ‘Badagarangs’ as well as a platypus and eastern long neck turtle ‘Kutuklung’ are depicted swimming in the Darug Nation river systems highlighting the vast array of fauna which occupy the land we are on.
Track marks surround the river leading to the meeting place of BlueBet Stadium, a place in which we unite in passion and pride to celebrate the club and game we love.
Emblazoned on the top back of the jersey is the word ‘Warami’ meaning Welcome. This follows the unveiling of the Warami Community Centre as a permanent feature of the developing Western Sydney Conference Centre precinct.
On the back of the jersey sees the inclusion of a new totem, a black swan or ‘Mulgo’, which represents the Mulgoa clan.
Also on the bottom back four reaching hands embody belonging and respect to the club and land on which we unite.
