Kings search for new Indigenous artist
The Sydney Kings NBL club is calling for expressions of interest from First Nations artists to design their new Indigenous jersey.
Current designer Stewart James, a proud Wiradjuri man from Narrandera, is stepping down from the role but will sit on a panel along with former coach Claude Williams and NRL legend Dean Widders, to help create something that represents “diverse perspectives and community values”.
“Both Claude and Dean bring deep cultural knowledge, community connection, and trusted insight into the club’s legacy and future, and we’re excited to have them part of this process,” James told sydneykings.com
Interested artists are asked to send a video (between two and four minutes) explaining; who you are and your mob, your past artwork or creative work and your ideas for the jersey design.
At this stage the club doesn’t need final artwork – they just want to hear your concept.
But there are some guidelines:
- Show how it connects to the club’s values – family, unity, strength, and resilience.
- Celebrate First Nations communities – share stories of connection, Country, or culture that inspire your artwork.
- Use the club’s colours – creatively blend the Sydney Kings’ or Flames’ colours into your design to bring it all together.
Email all submissions to media@hoopscapital.com.au before Friday, September 26.
