Jersey Design:
“This design is all about identity! To go forward in life, you must know who you are and where you come from”.
The design embraces the stories that have built the foundations of who the Sydney Kings are as a club. They represent the people, the areas across Sydney, and the proud history of all that has come before them.
Throughout the design there are symbols that hold important meaning and is intentionally designed in a way that explains the geographical connection between all the areas across Sydney.
There are 5 meeting place symbols that acknowledges the ancestral lands and waters of all the First Nations Clan Groups that cover the entire footprint of the Sydney area. Leading outwards from these symbols are swirling lines that connect to the entire design, which demonstrates the link to the old stories and the new stories. Still to this day, those areas carry a proud history and connection to those places and those peoples.
The same 5 symbols, acknowledges the success of the Sydney Kings by including the 5 championships they have previously won, which embraces another level of identity to who they are.
The diamond patterns represent a protective armour like feature of the design. This pattern was often used on traditional weaponry in various regions throughout First Nations Groups, particularly seen on traditional shields used for combat.
The continuous circular patterns reflect the diverse cultures that Sydney as a place embraces. This again influences the identity of the Sydney Kings. These same circular patterns recognise all the knowledge and history that is included within this design and allows people from all walks of life, from all areas of Sydney, to stand united when the Sydney Kings take the court.
