These tracks weave, bend, and intersect, just like real life. They show that growth is not linear. It is shaped by choices, challenges, mentors, and moments of courage. And soon, a new 8th Pillar will join them, created with the voices and ideas of the young people who walk these tracks every day.
The central meeting places in the artwork represent the partnership between the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Foundation and the West Adelaide Football Club. Two organisations, two histories, two communities, now connected by shared purpose. This partnership is not symbolic; it is practical, lived, and built on the belief that opportunity grows when we walk together.
Surrounding the pathways are the outer rings, representing the role of the public and private enterprise. They are not placed above the community, but alongside, connected, accountable, and part of the responsibility. The artwork makes a clear statement:
Bridging the gap is everyone’s responsibility, this is a challenge to all our participants including our First Nations peers, our partners, our supporters, and every level of leadership.
The movement of the design reflects unity, healing, accountability, and unwavering support. It shows that when clubs, communities, governments, and organisations work together, the tracks become stronger, the circles grow wider, and the opportunities for young people multiply.
This guernsey is not just worn, it is carried.
It is a commitment to the 7 (soon to be 8) Pillars.
A commitment to each other.
A commitment to walking the Right Tracks with pride, purpose, and unity.
This is the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks way.
This is the partnership.
This is the story Jerry has painted into every line, dot, and pathway.
