PARRAMATTA EELS 2025 NRL INDIGENOUS JERSEY
The Parramatta Eels are proud to unveil our 2025 Indigenous Jersey, a powerful tribute to culture, connection, and continuity, as we mark 60 years since the club first became known as the ‘Eels’.
This year’s jersey is more than a celebration of a name, it’s our story. Past, Present and Rising. It’s a reflection of a story that stretches back tens of thousands of years, honouring the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation and the enduring significance of the eel to their culture, identity, and Country.
The design, by artist Sean Duncan-Kinchela, draws inspiration from the Burramattagal’s deep relationship with the Parramatta River and the migration of the eel, known for its resilience and adaptability. When the Parramatta Green Wattle is in blossom, the eel navigates vast and changing waters to return home - so too does our club continue its journey through generations, overcoming challenges.
Six yellow circles, each adorned with 10 wattle flowers, represent the six decades since the Eels name was born. Wattle leaves are woven throughout the design and a boomerang proudly carries the name “Burramattagal Eels”, flanked by “60 YRS” on either side.
The team will wear the jersey with pride during Indigenous Round on Sunday, August 10, in a blockbuster double header against the Cowboys at CommBank Stadium. In a celebration of culture, community, and connection in the heart of PARRAdise.
