South East Melbourne Phoenix Kids Derrick Walton Jr 2024/25 Indigenous Basketball Jersey

Designed by Dixon Patten, a proud Gunnai, Yorta Yorta, and Gunditjmara man, the South East Melbourne Phoenix 2024/25 Derrick Walton Jr Indigenous Jersey celebrates connection, culture, and the endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot. Dixon's artwork draws parallels between this parrot, one of only three migrating parrot species, and the Phoenix, symbolizing survival, opportunity, and abundance for all who call South East Melbourne home. The parrot, with fewer than 100 left in the wild, reminds us to protect our environment and its creatures. The jersey's geometric patterns pay homage to Victoria’s carving culture, seen in traditional possum skin cloaks, artefacts, and body art during ceremonies. Wear the Phoenix story proudly, represented through powerful Indigenous artwork and crafted from premium sports mesh fabric.
