The jersey itself features several symbolic design elements: a camouflage pattern endorsed by the Australian Defence Force, the 35th Battalion’s colour patch on each sleeve, the national flags of Australia and New Zealand, monotone sponsor logos to preserve the jersey’s solemn design, and a collar inscribed with “Lest We Forget,” evoking the era of the conflict. More than just a piece of sportswear, this jersey stands as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, resilience, and regional pride, reinforcing the Knights’ deep-rooted connection to Newcastle’s history.
