The Panthers are pleased to present the Indigenous 2024 jersey, which will be worn against the Cronulla Sharks in Round 12.
Natasha Fordham and Panthers Indigenous Wellbeing Officer Glen Liddiard worked together to develop the shirt.
TO WEAR WITH PRIDE IN INDIGENOUS ROUND, ORDER BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23.
The Panthers’ 2024 uniform has the same pattern as the one they wore in their season-opening victory over the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, garnering an overwhelmingly positive response. The prominent licorice allsorts tri colors give the design a modern twist.
The jersey features returning Panther Daine Laurie’s handprint on the front of the jersey (under the Telstra Premiership logo) as well as that of female staff member Taylah Murray, recognizing the role both genders play across the Rugby League landscape.
Key features of the jersey include:
The colors from both the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag are featured on the sleeves
Male and female totems of the Darug Nation, the fruit bat, and ring-tail possum represent gender equality and the role males and females play in Rugby League on and off the field
Two black cockatoos ‘Garmit’ overlook the land in which we unite, and three kangaroos ‘Badagarangs’ as well as a platypus and an 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
Emblazoned on the top back of the jersey is the word ‘Warami’ meaning Welcome
The Panthers will wear the 2024 Indigenous Jersey in Round 12 – as the game recognizes the role Indigenous players and communities play on and off the field.
The 2024 Indigenous Jersey is now available for pre-order from the Panther Shop. Complete your pre-order by Friday 23 February to guarantee you can wear it with pride throughout the NRL Indigenous Round.
