The 2022 Wests Tigers Indigenous Jersey represents the club’s history, its future and so much more.

Artist Tyler Smith, who designed the jersey, will speak to the playing group this week in preparation for Saturday’s Indigenous Round clash with the Rabbitohs to explain the jersey’s design and significance.

The two symmetrical designs along the bottom of the jersey’s front represent elders, or in Wests Tigers’ case, the foundations of the club and the people who have helped build it.

The curved symbols in between the jersey’s ‘V’ represent the people who represent the club at present, from the playing group to the wider organisation as a whole.

The dotted white lines at the top of the jersey’s front represent the people who will take the club forward into the future, continuing what previous generations have achieved.

The curved lines below the jersey’s ‘V’ represent the waterways of the local area in which the Wests Tigers club is based.

The totems of the current Aboriginal Wests Tigers players have also been included on the back of the jersey, with totems being inherited by cultures, families or communities as a spiritual emblem.

Yea i appreciate that Brydens are our major sponsor but it would be nice if the club and Brydens could come to some agreement on either removing it or making it less obtrusive to both the Indigenous jersey and the Anzac jersey. i think both the club and Brydens would win over a lot of respect if they could do this. I also think there would be an increase in the sales of those 2 jerseys. Just my opinion and financially and legally its probably not possible.

I’d buy 2 jerseys tomorrow if that Brydens logo was removed

It would be the perfect example of less is more and improve the image of the sponsor
 
I like the jersey looks really tidy but that big logo from sponsor in the middle just kills it would love to see it with the logo down to 1/4 size if it had to stay on for this game / Round

Are there any aboriginals on here? I like the jersey but would wonder if wearing it as a fluorescent white guy with zero links to aboriginal culture be a faux pas.

Like tourists wearing rice hats in Vietnam or those bright patterned shirts in Fiji, aussies with giant buddah statues in their backyard after one trip to Bali.- you can buy them and nobody would say anything, but is it a poor look and appropriating the culture.
