The design, titled ‘Kangaroo Way’, was inspired by the club’s First Nations players, including Yorta Yorta man Jy Simpkin and Wangkathaa Noongar man Robert Hansen Jr, the unity of the club and its existence on Wurundjeri Country.
It incorporates North Melbourne’s traditional royal blue and white stripes as the base and kangaroo tracks throughout to represent the journey of the club.
Four kangaroos are featured on the front to represent a mob of kangaroos, drawing parallels to the club. They are placed throughout facing in different directions, again representing the club’s journey.
The design also features a football field and a Bunjil on the right to represent the club’s home of Arden Street Oval and pay respect to the Wurundjeri people, the Traditional Owners of the land on which Arden Street Oval sits. While the waterhole and the half Sherrin on the left represent the waters that surround Arden Street Oval and the game of football.
