The Sydney Sixers will honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture by wearing a special playing shirt against the Perth Scorchers this weekend.
Designed by Jordan Adler, a Sydney-based Bidjigal woman, in close collaboration with Sixers players Ashleigh Gardner (Muruwari) and Dan Christian (Wiradjuri), the playing shirt symbolises the connection of the Sixers community.
The large circle on the shirt represents the SCG, the club’s spiritual home and meeting place, where Sixers supporters come together.
The sand goanna, the totem of the Muruwari people, is a nod to Gardner’s Indigenous roots, while the three rivers represent Christian’s Wiradjuri mob.
The Sixers will also wear this special design during the WBBL Indigenous Round and BBL Indigenous Round.
