This season’s two striking designs were created by proud Wagiman man and Indigenous artist, Nathan Patterson, both of which highlight the story of the Saints’ homeland and those who have contributed to the yawa (journey) to-date.
Natural elements of Euro-Yroke (St Kilda) are reflected across each design, beginning with the water and waves of Nairm (Port Phillip Bay), moving to the sandy shorelines and through to the coastal vegetation further in-land; all meeting as one earth under the stripes of Euro-Yroke (St Kilda).
The story continues at the back of the guernsey through the silhouette of Narrm’s (Melbourne’s) hills, with an additional artwork featuring a symbol of mobs journeying to a central gathering point, in this case, the club.
Similar to last year’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round guernsey, the names of the 33 Indigenous players to have represented the Saints at AFL/AFLW level - up until the end of last season - are printed onto the jumper, sitting above artwork of a boomerang and traditional spears in reference to the strength of the clubs First Nations people.
