22 indigenous players that have represented North Melbourne have been immortalised on a new jumper designed specifically for Sir Doug Nicholls Round called “Origins”.
From past players like Percy Johnson, Barry Cable, Winston Abraham, Byron Pickett, Daniel Wells, Lindsay Thomas, to current players Jed Anderson and Jy Simpkin – each has had their name incorporated.
Artist Tarisse King (sister of Sarrita) created the amazing artwork based on her ‘Earth Images’ series - which acknowledges her ancestors and those that have come before us. North’s new indigenous jumper pays tribute to the club’s ancestry and the connection between past, present and future.
Tarisse’s story is an aerial view of a winding river, running through a series of communities that represent today’s footballing talent. The river feeds in to an indigenous Kangaroo - symbolic of the North Melbourne football club - where the wider community comes together.
North will wear Origins against the Brisbane Lions in Round 11, and wishes to acknowledge long-standing apparel partner Canterbury in its support of producing this limited edition design.
