The Central Coast Crusaders have unveiled their new First Nations Round playing kit in anticipation for the NBL1 East’s First Nations Round on July 6.
This year’s kit is inspired by an artwork by Jenni McEwen who is a Bundjalung woman of the Northern Rivers in NSW living on Darkinjung country.
The artwork, titled Playing on Country, includes motifs that represent the 12 members of a basketball team and the ball.
This motif can be seen reflected in the playing kit.
The Crusader’s NBL1 East Men and Women’s teams will suit-up in the kits on the official First Nations Round on Saturday July 6 against Hills Hornets in Sydney.
They will wear them again on Saturday, July 13, for their final game of the season playing against Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in a home game at Breakers Indoor Sports Stadium, Terrigal.
Waratah Youth League games will tip off from 11am with the main event NBL1 East games set to tip off from 5pm.
Entry is $10 for adults, $5 for children or $25 for a family pass.
The organisation will also raffle a signed and framed 2024 First Nations Round singlet, giving basketball enthusiasts a chance to get their hands on a piece of limited-edition kit.
The winner will be announced at the last home game on July 13.
Tickets can be purchased at Beakers Indoor Sports Stadium or www.ccbasketball.com.au
