Heritage Round Jersey

This year's First XV playing jersey has artwork that is designed by our own art teacher, Mr Peter Fatupaito The design on the jersey was influenced by a common Polynesian tattoo that covers majority of a man’s body, starting from the ribs, down to the knee caps This significant tattoo is given to many men of importance who would receive it in a traditional manner. Each strip of pattern resembled the most common pattern/shape to each Polynesian country, hence each representing and being symbolic of the four Polynesian countries represented in the First XV team – Samoan, Tongan, Maori, and Fiji.

The jersey was sponsored by ACTBIS - ACT Building Inspection Services

Thank you for your support!
