Yamatji and Noongar artist Darryl Bellotti has designed West Coast's 2021 Indigenous guernsey for the upcoming Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

Bellotti told the club website of the story behind the guernsey.

"The guernsey tells the story of a Waugul [Rainbow Serpent] travelling across the land to watch the Eagles at the MCG," Bellotti said.

"The Waugul is considered to be the Creator Spirit which inhabits the land."

Bellotti's relative, Laurie Bellotti, played 24 games for the Eagles, giving Darryl personal meaning behind the guernsey.
