The Canberra Raiders have officially launched their 2025 Indigenous Jersey, celebrating culture and community at Cuz Boxing in Belconnen.
Key players, including Indigenous stars Sebastian Kris, Xavier Savage, Jamal Fogarty, Vena Patuki-Case, Grace Kemp, and Relna Wuruki-Hosea, were present, joined by captain Joe Tapine and his family, who connect deeply with Indigenous culture through his wife Kirsten and daughter Ilua.
Also attending were Jordan Martin and his family, along with Jamal Fogarty's wife Kahlia and their children, and Xavier Savage's sister Gabriella and fiancée, Taliah.
The jersey was designed by Shaenice Miles, a Ngunnawal, Bundjalung, and Kamilaroi woman, who worked closely with the Raiders' Indigenous players to ensure the design accurately reflects their culture.
The new jersey incorporates elements of Torres Strait Islander culture while honoring all First Nations peoples within the Raiders community.
