Jersey Design:

“Bunjil – Our Creator”

The design of this uniform is all about the importance of Bunjil and what it means for the Wurundjeri people. This is why Bunjil is the prominent in the design.

The uniform also tells the story of William Barak who is the last "ngurungaeta" (Chief) of the Wurundjeri people. Alex did this by using William’s style of artwork together with Alex’s and created the meeting place design you can see on the side of the jersey.

This meeting place also represents all the community of Melbourne/Narrm United along with the Wurundjeri people and strong connections we have today. The design then has Waa (crow) - our protector and his feathers on the designs watching over the community and ensuring their safety while conducting business on Wurundjeri country.
