Designed by Dillon King, the Newcastle Knights Multicultural Warm Up Tee is a blend of Pacific, Aboriginal, English and multicultural elements, reflecting the rich and diverse community the team represents.
This design not only showcases the Knights' pride but also honours the history and heritage of these key cultural groups.
The Pacific influence of the design is represented through vibrant patterns and motifs that symbolise the strength and unity of Pacific Islanders.
These designs often feature oceanic elements, such as waves or tribal patterns, which evoke a connection to the land and sea, both central to the Pacific Islander.
This inclusion acknowledges the significant role Pacific Islander players, community and fans have played in the success of the Newcastle Knights and the broader rugby league community.
Aboriginal cultural references are woven into the design as a tribute to the First Nations peoples of Australia.
The design incorporates traditional Aboriginal art forms, including dot painting and symbolic representations of dreamtime stories, which connect the community to the land and its spiritual significance.
The use of these elements serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal Australians, recognising their deep historical connection to the region and their ongoing contributions to rugby league.
As a nod to the Club's roots, the English cultural influence reflects the heritage of early Newcastle settlers from England.
The design may feature subtle nods to the traditional English heraldic symbols which represent the city's historical ties. This inclusion highlights the Knights' origins and their connection to the English rugby league tradition.
Together, these cultural influences represent the diverse and inclusive identity of the Newcastle Knights.
