Design:

This year she wanted to embrace the Bullets and who they are. Brisbane represents the South East Queensland region, so in the background you’ll see the blue water and land representing the areas from the Sunshine Coast (Gabi Gabi) to the Gold Coast (Yugambeh), and out towards the waters of Moreton (Gower) and Stradbroke Islands (Quandamooka). It also encompasses the Wakka Wakka, Yagera and of course Turrbal lands.

The big centre circle represents the player (with their number inside), while the layers and people sitting around them symbolise those who support and guide them - family, mentors, coaches and community.

The footpaths extending out connect to five guiding principles that reflect how the club operates. The player’s footprints head toward these areas, while arrows point both ways to show how these beliefs also come back and influence the player.

• All In – The spiral symbolises everyone coming together, with layers representing all parts of the club being united and committed.
• Agile – The flowing waves show the club’s ability to adjust and embrace change as it comes.
• Proactive – Arrows in every direction reflect being prepared and ready to take action, however needed.
• Grit & Resilience – The bell curve captures the ups and downs of the journey, with arrows pushing to the top, showing the determination to rise through challenges.
• Built for Brisbane – The circles of people and connecting lines highlight the way the club and the community are interwoven.

The side panels feature the colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags, representing and honouring every First Nations person across the community and the league for this special NBL First Nations Round.
