Our NAIDOC Week 2025 Polo collection features our talented collaborating artists' reflection on and response to this year's theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’. 

Wiradjuri artist Amy Kilby’s rich artwork is rooted in the strength of ancestors. It symbolises the resilience of First Nations people and the continued growth of cultural knowledge through generations.

The Essence Polo debuts a creative use of the artwork, featuring contrasting materials that highlight the symbols and details of the design. 

Designed for versatility, comfort, and protection, our iconic Polo Shirt is the perfect balance of style and function. Made from high-performance Aerolite polyester, this polo is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking, ensuring you stay comfortable no matter the occasion. Whether you’re dressing it up for work, wearing it casually, or taking it on an outdoor adventure, this shirt moves with you while keeping you cool.

With built-in UPF50+ sun protection, you can enjoy the outdoors with confidence, knowing your skin is shielded from harsh UV rays. Available in unisex and fitted sizes, this polo is more than just everyday wear—it’s a vibrant celebration of First Nations culture, designed to be seen and appreciated wherever you go.

“This year’s theme celebrates the achievements of the past and the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.” - National NAIDOC Committee 2025

Story:

Wurung (Branches)

Wurung (Branches) is all about connection, resilience, and the legacy of our people.

At the centre is a tree, its roots representing our ancestors and their strength, grounding us in culture and history. The branches stretching upwards reflect the next generation, a symbol of growth, renewal, and the continuation of our story.

The footsteps leading to the tree remind us of the paths our Elders have walked. They’ve paved the way with their wisdom, resilience, and determination, creating opportunities for us to follow. Scattered across the design are symbols of our beautiful country - mountains, rocks, waterholes, and camps - showcasing the diversity of our tribes and the connection we all share with the land. The animal tracks tie in the wildlife that walks alongside us, reminding us of the importance of caring for all of the country.

The flowing lines signify the strong connections between our people and the land - it’s a bond that runs deep and holds us together. Corroboree symbols are woven throughout, celebrating the resilience, strength, and cultural pride that have been carried forward through generations. They show the ways we come together to honour our Elders and their enduring legacy.

This piece is a tribute to the roots planted by our Elders and ancestors - the foundations they’ve built and the paths they’ve paved for the next generation to flourish. It’s their strength, wisdom, and leadership that continue to guide us and inspire us to walk proudly in their footsteps.
