The Cultue
Rivalries are created amongst fans and teams which bring friendly competitions and rivalries to take part in. Brings symbolic themes and rituals such as the kangaroo for Australia and the yellow and green for our culture
The People
Pioneers in equality for people and their opportunities within the sport, such as the first Indigenous people to come and participate in the olympics. Medal winners and record breakers bring goals to want to achieve within their sports.
The Moments
History, hopes and heroics are brought in such as when Australia first qualified for the world cup, also when an Aboriginal man founded the basis for AFL. Celebrations bring a connection amongst the team and the person to themselves.
The places
Inscriptions on the inside of changing rooms, holding memories and people. Developments within clubs and buildings presenting the expanding sport. Museums to hold the memories of places and people.
