We can connect you with renowned Indigenous artist Eddie Longford, who has collaborated with numerous schools, sporting groups, and other organisations within Ngunnawal, Ngambri, and Wiradjuri Country to develop unique and distinctive designs.
Indigenous artist Eddie Longford has spent the majority of his life on Ngunnawal, Ngambri, and Wiradjuri Country. He is passionate about creating artwork that reflects the land that he grew up on and that holds great significance to his family.
His art pays homage to the Ngunnawal, Ngambri, and Wiradjuri traditional owners by incorporating elements of their sacred land into his work. Eddie’s artistic style is a blend of contemporary Indigenous influences, drawing from traditional styles found throughout Australia, as well as non-traditional elements and vibrant colours, giving his pieces a unique and easily recognisable character. Eddie specialises in harmonising traditional hues with bold non-traditional shades, and he takes great pride in the meticulous detail of his work.
In addition to developing exclusive designs that are specifically tailored to meet your needs of your organisation, Eddie is also available to provide informational sessions to students, staff, and team members to explain the significance of his art and the stories behind them.

“What’s the appropriate term? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Aborigine, Indigenous, Black, Blackfella, First Australians, First Nations People. Terms have different meanings to different people and are wrapped in the history and politics of the time. But what’s the appropriate term? There’s not a unanimous view, but some are considered more appropriate to use than others. It’s helpful to understand why that’s the case. Ultimately it’s important to be respectful of the preferences of individuals, families, or communities, and allow them to define what they are most comfortable with.” We have used the term Indigenous on this website, after consulting information from here and here.
Dye Sublimation Printing
Dye sublimation printing (sometimes called fully sublimated or sub printing) is a digital printing technology that uses heat to transfer dye onto fabric. The dye is converted into a gas and then infused into the material, resulting in a vibrant and long-lasting print.
Sublimation printing works best on fabrics with a high polyester content. Polyester fibres have a higher affinity for the sublimation inks, resulting in better colour transfer and vibrancy. It is possible to sublimate onto fabrics with a polyester blend, although the results may vary.
Sublimation printing is ideal for producing high-quality and detailed images, and is commonly used in the production of customised items such as sporting apparel. Dye sublimation printing is an excellent choice for creating unique and personalised sportswear.
