Wagners sponsors Swans in rugby league Indigenous round

Earth Friendly Concrete by Wagners has sponsored the Maroochydore Swans in the Indigenous Round of the Sunshine Coast rugby league.

The round is sponsored in collaboration with concrete construction company SDC Group.

The Swans were donning striking jerseys that were designed by a local Indigenous artist, Zoe Raymond.

Raymond is a proud Yindjibarndi/Pinikura woman living and working on Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi land on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

She specialises in contemporary Aboriginal art in the form of corporate pieces, sport jersey designs, and wearable art for a variety of clients.

Raymond explained the jersey design:

“The circles with lines in between them represent the different teams within the club, the ‘U’ shapes are the players, and underneath them are the supporting families and local community.

“The Bunya trees are significant to the Gubbi Gubbi people, who are the traditional custodians of the land on which the club exists, and the handprint acknowledges two players who have recently passed.”

Earth Friendly Concrete by Wagners takes this opportunity to “acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we operate and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging,” it commented.

Wagners congratulates the Swans on their recent victory over the Noosa Pirates and wish both teams the best of luck for the remainder of the season.
