O'neills Canterbury Bulldogs Indigenous Jersey

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2026 Indigenous NRL Jersey

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2026 Indigenous NRL Jersey is the club’s official Indigenous jersey, featuring “Strength & Resilience”, an artwork created by renowned Dunghutti artist Kyara Fernando. Inspired by the Bulldogs’ on-field playing jersey, it combines meaningful Indigenous storytelling with a lightweight 100% polyester construction, sublimated artwork and a crew neck design.

“Strength & Resilience” brings together a series of symbols representing community, Country, family and the pathways connecting past and present. Meeting Places represent gatherings and locations where people come together for Bulldogs games, reinforcing the connection between the club and its wider community.

Two Warriors feature prominently within the artwork. They represent hunters, protectors and defenders of Country and family, as well as keepers of lore and providers of strength. Women and Children represent the caretakers of Country and family, reflecting nurturing, guidance, leadership and spiritual connection.

Traditional Aboriginal weapons and tools, including shields, fighting clubs and boomerangs, further express the themes of strength and resilience at the centre of the design.

The artwork also incorporates communities, footprints and handprints, acknowledging past and present pathways, the Canterbury-Bankstown community, its people and Bulldogs players. Together, these elements give the jersey a story that extends well beyond its match-day appearance.

The Indigenous artwork is sublimated into the jersey, while the lightweight 100% polyester fabric and classic crew neck provide a practical construction for wearing while supporting the Bulldogs.
