Interesting.

Not an Aussie disclaimer, but as I said before, I think it needs a much darker green, or much darker yellow.

Yep, I reckon it should be BOTH darker green, and darker gold. But still like the jersey

Firstly please discount any prejudice as I have none.
My argument is based upon the same reasoning Mandella's Springboks would not play the Maori All Blacks, division,isolation, and celebration of one race over another causes problems. The jersey should belong to all Australians.

To me it is a gesture of inclusiveness towards a group of peoples who this country treated very shabbily for a long time. If people see a gesture of inclusivity as divisive they might need to reassess their logic.

Agree- I also think that they shouldn't have faded the design into the yellow on the stomach.

Your argument would suggest that we could see a migrant jersey in the near future. This type of recognition only creates division. One jersey one country.

You mean the jersey that the Australian test team wears for every other test.

Indigenous jersey for every game. I'd suggest the shoulders stay as-is and the front become a single gold panel.

Anyone seen the back of the jersey? That's where I'd put the indigenous design - in order to help conceal the playing number

A cunning plan.

Here's the back from the rugby shop website.

Right. I've ordered mine.

Get stuck in you lot.

Being 22 myself, I wouldn't wear a fucking Waratahs jersey out for a night on the town if you paid me, especially not the game-day jerseys that they sell.



The fit is horrendous, the colour is horrendous, the entire style is horrendous.



For a game of footy? Great. For a night out? Terrible.



They should produce some long-sleeve, old school, vintage styles that younger people might like. A bit like

(Yes I am aware these are rugby league jerseys, but the style is so much better)



Who in their right fucking mind would wear this?

Some Waratahs bucket hats would't be bad either. Ain't nobody my age wearing a Waratahs cap.

I'd rather wear the Tahs hoodie than any of those league rags you suggested or any jersey with the v-neck

I don't think anyone was ignoring it previously. In my opinion the jersey is an Australian jersey. Owned by all people, if we celebrate the indigenous is not also far to say we should have an Immigrant jersey as well? Where does it end?

We could follow the AFL and have a jersey for whatever social cause takes our fancy

The kiddies like bright shiny things so very unlikely

Right, I can see now that the green is darker than I thought, and only fades as it merges with the gold.

Only problem I have with this years jersey is the Aboriginal flag being overlayed on the pattern on the sleeve. I'd much rather the flag stand by itself than have 4 different colours which clash.

It reminds me of the St George logo that used to be on the white backing on a Reds jersey. It just took away from the design of the jersey.

The other sleeve has the Tiwi Islands flag on it.

 

[Ruggo]

Torres Strait Islands flag you mean.

 

[Braveheart81]

Torres Strait Islands flag you mean.

Woops!

Although from searching it seems to be the flag used by both Torres Strait and Tiwi Islands.

 

[kiap]

Tiwi flag seems to be a mashup of Ruggo's NT avatar with artifacts and stripes.

Looks good

In regards to the Jersey, what clan group is the art work from?

Got to remember as white fellas that Indigenous Australia consists of many different clan groups, all with their own identity.

The artist is from Dennis Golding from Sydney. He is from the Gamilaraay or Kamilaroi mob.

Good stuff Braveheart.
