The story behind Kalamunda Rugby Clubs 2023 NAIDOC Round Jersey.
The large circle in the middle represents the Rugby Union Club, both Male and female symbols can be seen standing around the club. These symbols not only represent the male and female players but also the parents and volunteers that make the club what it is today.
The circles on the left represent the song lines and pathways of the club, from the early foundations, through the juniors and then the seniors. Without the foundations being set and the values, resilience and integrity of the club it wouldn’t be what it is today.
The circles on the right represent the Aboriginal people of the Mundy tribe which is situated in Kalamunda. These are their pathways when they hunted and searched for food with young men and boys. The females of the tribe would search for fruit and berries as well as medicines.
The symbols surrounding these pathways are the footprints of the elders. Both from the club as well as the Aboriginal people. These Elders are full of wisdom and knowledge and look after the younger generation.
