Crows unveil new Indigenous jumper

[little graham]

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.

agreed

This is phenomenal though. Why do people go to the football? Mostly to vent the frustrations of life out, to escape this pressure cooker of the world we live in. So the football is a form of medicine, is a healer to many.

What does the garnga (crow) represent to the Wirangu peoples?

In the Wirangu culture, the crow is called ‘Garnga’ and plays an important role spiritually as a messenger and healer

I heard that the jumper was designed by a Betts family member?

Might have to come over for that one. Would be good if Curly could get up for it.

Can't see it

PHIL Walsh had a min 2 SANFL games before returning from a long term injury however I'm hearing with the cap on rotations and the extra demand in players Pyke ideally likes to give players 3 SANFL games

It will be touch and go for Curley

I reckon it's hard to criticise any indigenous jumper from a visual aspect. Every design has a story and meaning behind it, I like them all really.

The only things I'd critique are laziness (Geelong placing the indigenous art over the top of their normal jumper) or cuff colour. I think navy cuffs would have made this jumper slightly cleaner if that's the right word as seen below

Quick 5 min job.

Surprised no ones commented on this?

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

So it was Est before 1870!!!?!?

AFC indigenous connection Est -50000!

 

[Kickin Goals]

Awesome jumper will be getting one for sure!

 

[Sanguinarius]

The visuals are outstanding, but the story behind it all pushes it over the top!

The extra AFC connection of Eddie's Aunt being involved really in the cherry on top.

How many indigenous players have we had over the journey?

Eddie Hocking
Shane Tongerie
Andrew McLeod
Troy Bond

Jonathan Griffin...

Graham Johncock
Jarrhan Jacky
Jared Petrenko
Eddie Betts
Charlie Cameron
Wayne Milera

Others?

Cam Ellis-Yolmen
Curtley Hampton

Eugene Warrior

Not sure he ever pulled on the tricolours though

Richard Tambling
Tony Armstrong
Ricky O'Loughlin
Ronnie Burns

Was it Trent Hentschel who the players found out about his heritage only after his grandmother came along to a B&F or some other club function? Mcleod and Johncock introduced themselves to her and she told them she was Hentschel's grandmother, which surprised the two of them because Trent had never mentioned it before - He said he felt weird 'claiming' such a heritage because of his otherwise light skin

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I think that was Griffin

People are forgetting we have one more indigenous player on our list in Troy Menzel. I'm pretty sure I saw it on the past and present indigenous players.

 

[radiojake]

hmm ok

really thought it was Hentschel -

Nothing I can find on Menzel.

For those interested in the story behind this guernsey, whats been shared here is not unique to South Australia or Australian indigenous culture. In most pagan spiritualities the crow represents similar things in their belief system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow_Nation

The Crow, called the Apsáalooke in their own Siouan language, or variants including Absaroka, are Native Americans, who in historical times lived in the Yellowstone River valley, which extends from present-day Wyoming, through Montana and into North Dakota, where it joins the Missouri River. Today, they are enrolled in the federally recognized Crow Tribe of Montana

It's a small world.

The sacred power of God is called Baaxpée, meaning “power transcending the ordinary.” The physical manifestation of Baaxpée is called Xapáaliia, often referred to as ‘medicine,’ which represents and acts as a conduit of Baaxpée given to a Crow by God

In the Wirangu culture, the crow is called ‘Garnga’ and plays an important role spiritually as a messenger and healer.

Its quite obvious the civilizations here had been in contact with native american civilizations to essentially have such a similar belief system.

I can't see it anymore. I swear I saw it, but obviously I'm wrong

 

[Stiffy_18]

I like!

 

[Swooping Crow]

Awesome

 

[Geoffa32]

My favourite one. And I wish we turned the blue to black once we the SANFL stopped being our licence holders.

Afterall Crows are black.

The black against the bold red and gold is visually appealing.
