2020 Sharks Indigenous jersey

[blue bags]

I love the indigenous jersey and I get them every year, except this year. I didn't like that it had the southern Cross on the right side of the chest. That has nothing to do with indigenous culture and its a symbol of the European history here

the southern cross, stars in the night sky, is older than any known mans culture in the history of the earth, thanku

Oh wow. Thanks for that, I had no idea

The southern cross is far from unique to Australia, you can see it from any country in the southern hemisphere, just look up at night in Chile, Namibia, litterally 30 odd countries, every night.

In Australian Aboriginal astronomy, Crux and the Coalsack mark the head of the 'Emu in the Sky' (which is seen in the dark spaces rather than in the patterns of stars) in several Aboriginal cultures, while Crux itself is said to be a possum sitting in a tree (Boorong people of the Wimmera region of northwestern Victoria), a representation of the sky deity Mirrabooka (Quandamooka people of Stradbroke Island), a stingray (Yolngu people of Arnhem Land), or an eagle (Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains). Two Pacific constellations also included Gamma Centauri. Torres Strait Islanders in modern-day Australia saw Gamma Centauri as the handle and the four stars as the trident of Tagai's Fishing Spear. The Aranda people of central Australia saw the four Cross stars as the talon of an eagle and Gamma Centauri as its leg.

Saw this on wiki. Didn't know that

I used my store credit and got the new hoodie which looks awesome - https://store.sharks.com.au/performance-hoodie-updating/

Also do you guys remember a few years ago when we were so poor we didn't even have an away kit? We did an entire season with the home jersey.

How does the sizing compare with most NRL stuff?

I find I generally need to buy a size smaller than usual because Sharks stuff is massively oversized.
