The pagan story behind it is better.

Best yet, I love it. Last years was great and my lad has #18 on it signed by Eduardo himself. Gonna have to get him this one and try and all the bros to sign it.

 

[Squiba]

Its great, but Imo its hard to top last years

 

[Rotayjay]

I preferred last year's, but still a good one as always.

Hopefully by the time Indigenous round comes along we'll have Ed, CC, Milera and CEY playing together.

I don't think we've ever botched one of these. Good work to the brain's trust. Classy jumper.

That looks great. Doesn't quite top last year's, the swooping crow was awesome, but is another really good looking guernsey.

Of course. Curtley's absence from the team is probably why I forgot to mention him.

Susie is the sister of Eddie’s father, Eddie Betts the second. Their family belongs to the Wirangu people, as well as the Kokata and Mirning communities on the far West Coast of South Australia.

In the Wirangu culture, the crow is called ‘Garnga’ and plays an important role spiritually as a messenger and healer.
“This design represents a culture that is thousands and thousands of years old. We’re sharing the story of the Garnga and what it means to us,” Susie said.

“We have the crow or the Garnga in the centre. The circles and the dots are talking about the realm that the Garnga belong to spiritually. The swell down the bottom of the jumper is about the power and the magic that heals. “It’s a very special design. It will be an empowering moment to see Eddie wearing the jumper and representing his family, his culture and his background.

Its more than a guernsey. Its part of the oldest cultural history on this planet now.

The pagan story behind it is better.

From my very limited understanding, the garnga appears the polar opposite to the way it's portrayed in the christian religions. No wonder this christianity fad has never impressed itself upon me.

Thats why the Christians did, they tried demonizing most of the pagan beliefs and deities of the places they conquered in the hope to wipe (thier religion) it out.

To be fair, our indigenous art is always telling a story. After taking in the visual aspect, almost everyone knows to seek out the story being told. Really is wonderful stuff.
