The story behind the jersey...
The jersey can be split into three parts:
Our Strong Future - the gold at the top of the jersey represents the strong future of the Gold Coast Titans and what is to come. Based on the club's strong foundations, from the inception of the club, the future of the club and that the community is strong. Gold is one of the prominent colours featured across the Gold Coast Titans, a nod to the sunshine, beaches and energy across the Gold Coast. Our future is with our community - Titans Together = Stronger Together.
Our Legacy - the stars on the jersey represent the legacy the club holds. From the five First Nations captains, to Life Member, Preston Campbell, who founded the All-Stars game which is an important contribution to First Nations communities across the country. The smaller stars represent the club's legacy in First Nations program participants - like Lakeeta McGrath who has been involved in both the Deadly Futures and School to Work programs. Lakeeta was named as the 2022 NRL Youth Ambassador and is an integral part of the club's legacy for the community.
The bottom of the jersey represents the region. From the mountains of the hinterland, to the mangroves of the Tweed River, the jersey represents the various clans of the Yugambeh Language Group and the Bundjalung Nation.
