WESTERN BULLDOGS 2024 INDIGENOUS GUERNSEY

Written by Tarni Jarvis.

The design for the Bulldogs’ 2024 indigenous guernsey is inspired by the communities and land in Victoria’s west, a region filled with magnificent mountain ranges, waterways and multicultural communities.

As a proud, young Djab Wurrong, Kirrae Wurrong and Peak Wurrong woman who lives in Ballarat on Wadawurrong country, I was inspired by the beautiful area I live in as well as my ancestors’ countries.

The traditional bands on the guernsey have been replaced with riverways that connect all the different countries of the west. These waterways are important parts of our dreamings that have provided and cared for us for over 65,000 years. They are also represented within the background of the artwork.

Arch symbols in the bottom right-hand corner represent mountain ranges, strong features throughout our dreamings and important land markings for us on which ceremonies take place.

The symbols that run alongside the mountains represent communities across the west, which contain so many different members of different cultures who come together in places like Ballarat, contributing to so much beautiful diversity within the First Nations community.
