Jersey Design

This design centres around the traditional name of Tasmania, Lutruwita. This includes maireener shells. maireener shells hold cultural significance for palawa women, in the creation of shell necklaces, an art form that has been passed through generations representing connection to country and ancestry.

Mutton birding still remains a significant cultural practice within the Tasmania Aboriginal Community. This practice reinforces cultural knowledge and maintains cultural tradition. There are 9 yullas (mutton birds) on the left displayed to represent the 9 traditional countries in Lutruwita. On the right side, there are waterways separated by 9 meeting places, again for the traditional countries. Waterways are central to the palawa/pakana people for sources of food, transport routes, and spiritual places tied to ancestral stories.

The 9 meeting places representing the traditional countries can also be seen on the map of Lutruwita in the centre of the jumper. The map is filled with journey lines representing connection to country through stories, knowledge, and experiences. A jack jumper can also be seen sitting on the coastline of Lutruwita.

The 9 circles on the shorts represent petroglyphs, traditional rock carvings that serve as an enduring record of our culture reinforcing the deep and continuous connection to culture. A Jack Jumper is also presented on the coast of Lutruwita on the front of the shirt.

The back of the shirt shows 5 yarning circles each with 5 people symbols that represent all involved with the Jack Jumpers - players, staff, community, members. The number 5 is used to once again represent the 5 years the JackJumpers have been in the competition. Within the yarning circles, 5 thylacine paw prints can also be seen.
