The Canberra Raiders have unveiled their 2023 Indigenous Round jumper celebrating country they call home and corners across the continent.

Indigenous artist Eddie Longford worked with the club's First Nations playing group to create the design, incorporating the cultural custom of Ngunnawal-Ngambri country around the Murrumbidgee River, a key resource to local tribes, the Brindabella Ranges and Canberra, which were once traditional trading routes.

Both the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags are represented, alongside the totems - crocodile, emu, goanna and the eagle, of the Raiders Indigenous stars Jack Wighton, Jamal Fogarty, Xavier Savage and Elijah Anderson.

"It was good that we got input on what goes on the jersey. It was good that they involved us this year, knowing that all hands are on deck, and it represents all of us who are part of this team and this place that we live in," Savage said.

"I think that was another thing that we spoke about, just getting both cultures more involved this year.

"I know Canberra's a long way from Torres Strait, but we do know that we have Torres Strait boys here including myself so to get the Torres Strait culture involved in it too means a lot."

Raiders pair Wighton and Anderson wants to shine a light on previous generations.

He said Indigenous round is a special opportunity to represent "family, your people, your tribe and get to give the young kids a lot of hope, while Anderson said the totems visible tie in a special place in his heart for the stories passed through his family.

"It means everything to me. I grew up with my grandma telling me where you come from is who you are but you choose every day the person you become," Anderson said.

"I think that explains a lot with my culture.

"It's unreal. To showcase all the boy's Totems and where they come from, I'm sure they are going to go out there and represent their people and their mob."

Wiradjuri man and artist Eddie Longford grew up on Ngunnawal/Ngambri country.

He said being able to use the Aboriginal flag freely, since it no longer falls under copyright, gives another aspect.

"Being an artist for a long time, it's been a goal of mine to get some of my work onto an NRL jersey. Specifically a Canberra Raiders jersey since I'd grown up here. I'm proud, it makes my family and I proud and I can't wait to see it on the field," Longford said

"It also makes me proud to include the Aboriginal flag.

"Being locked up in copyright and not being able to use it, this is the first year we've been able to use it freely. So, it makes me really proud to see it on the jumper along with the Torres Strait Islander flag."

Last month, Penrith Panthers unveiled their 2023 Indigenous Jersey - recognising their home and the people and animals and land of the Darug Nation alongside a variety of sides so far.

NRL Indigenous round will be played in round 12.
