Our Inaugural Indigenous jumper was designed by local indigenous woman Karen Lovett. Karen, a past junior parent of Westmeadows Football Club, designed our jumper in 2021. Our Senior Men's program had originally planned to wear the jumper against Airport West Football Club in their NAIDOC celebrations and recognitions, however the round was never played due to COVID.
We are very excited to reveal our 2022 NAIDOC jumper. -Our players will be Getting Up, Standing Up and Proudly Showing Up in Karen's design. We would also like to thank Isabella Williams for setting Karen's designs to our jumper.
Karen's design focuses on the essence of Westmeadows Football Club and Willowbrook Reserve. In and around our home ground, we have kangaroos, native plants and the Merri Creek. - You can see these represented in Karen's design, with Kangaroo paws, native leaves and our stripe is the flow of water. For many in our local area, the Westmeadows Football Club represents community, a safe place to gather - this is shown in the circles, and includes drawings of a gathering place for men, women and children, coming together hand in hand.
Westmeadows Football Club is very proud to be able to wear Karen's design and the time Karen has spent with us, sharing her story - we are all in it together.
