The West Coast Eagles have revealed their First Nations jumper for Sir Doug Nicholls round, designed by Wongutha man Kevin Wilson and Maduwongga and Noongar woman Taryn Woods.
This season’s design highlights the importance of family and connection, featuring totems of each of our first nations players’ families, along with several connections to the club.
One striking element of the design is ’56 sharp points’, representing the First Nations players drafted since the Eagles’ inception, symbolising the strong warriors who paved the way, and continue to watch over the players carrying the legacy.
The kangaroo and emu were designed by Woods, symbolising the players always moving forward and progressing as a team.
The six large circles represent the players’ connection to their country, while the rivers and waterways represent the connection between the players across the continent, and their cultures.
The Eagles will don this jumper for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, against St Kilda in round 10 and Adelaide in round 11.
