Umpire Design

This year, the umpires will again wear dedicated uniforms, designed by Indigenous umpire Josh James.

The uniform, which is the same design from 2023, has been designed by Joshua James, a Noongar Wandandi Boodja man and current umpire. The artwork is called Moorditj Koondarm which means “Strong Dreams” in Noongar language. The overall story showcases how strong, resilient and self-determined Aboriginal people are and the unity of people coming together.
