The GWS Giants 2021 Indigenous guernsey has been designed by Indigenous forward Bobby Hill.

The guernsey also includes totems from teammate Jeremy Finlayson, and former teammate Zac Williams.

Some extra significance has come into play for Jeremy Finlayson, after learning this past week that he is related to Sir Doug Nicholls.

"I found out a few months ago that I'm actually related to Sir Doug Nicholls, so it holds a special place in my heart right now. I'm super proud to be related to Sir Doug Nicholls,” Finlayson told AFL.com.au.

"I ring dad’s cousin once a week, two times a week and get information off him, but for him to tell me that I'm related to Sir Doug Nicholls, I still can't get over it. But there is so much more information."

 

Bobby Hill, whose ancestry relates to the Whadjuk-Ballardong Noongar community, was honoured to be asked to design the guernsey earlier in the year.

"When I was asked to design the jersey I said 'yes' straight away and asked my family back home in WA what the meaning should be around it,” Hill said.

"They had a big think about it and said ‘make it about family’, because the GIANTS are like a family, we're just a big brotherhood."
