Sports Entertainment Group (SEG) today unveiled the Sydney Sirens, introducing a bold new identity for the organisation's second Super Netball licence ahead of the 2027 season.

Built on the proud foundations and legacy of GIANTS Netball, the Sydney Sirens represent the beginning of a new chapter for elite netball in New South Wales, one shaped by ambition, innovation, community and a commitment to growing the game right across the state.

The club's new identity draws inspiration from the concept of the Siren: a commanding, magnetic force that captures attention through presence, not apology. Impossible to ignore.

The Sirens logo brings together the power of the Siren and the energy of the ocean, creating a mark that is uniquely Sydney and unmistakably bold. Every element, from the trident crown to the flowing tail, reflects strength, movement and connection.

The refreshed colour palette of coral and teal reimagine the club’s traditional colours, drawing inspiration from the ocean while honouring the team's history. The palette creates depth, contrast and a fresh visual identity that feels both modern and connected to its roots.

The Sirens will continue to represent New South Wales on the national stage, carrying forward the proud legacy built in Western Sydney while creating a club that reflects the energy, diversity and ambition of modern Sydney.

CEO of SEN Teams, Richard Simkiss, said the launch marked a defining moment in the club's history.

"Today is much more than the unveiling of a new name and logo. It's the beginning of an exciting new era for netball in New South Wales," Simkiss said.

"The Sydney Sirens is a powerful, distinctive and contemporary identity that reflects exactly what we want this club to become. Ambitious, welcoming, fiercely competitive and impossible to ignore.

"We have enormous respect for everything that has been built over the past decade. The players, staff, members, fans and partners who created the GIANTS story have laid a strong foundation, and we are proud to carry that legacy forward.

"This club will always be driven by community. We want existing members and supporters to see themselves in this next chapter while also creating something that attracts new audiences and inspires the next generation of netball fans and athletes.

"We believe the Sydney Sirens can become one of the most recognisable and influential brands in Australian women's sport, and this is only the beginning."

Amy Sligar becomes inaugural Sydney Siren

In a further milestone for the club, fan favourite, Amy Sligar, has recommitted to the club, signing a new three-year agreement to become the first Sydney Sirens player.

Having debuted for the GIANTS in 2021, Sligar has developed into one of the competition's most respected and versatile midcourters. Across six seasons, she has become a cornerstone of the club's playing group, recognised for her relentless work ethic, leadership qualities and commitment to the community.

Off the court, Sligar has become a familiar voice in Australian netball through her regular appearances across SEN Netball platforms - including SEN 1170am's Nothing But Netball with Jelisa Apps - helping grow the sport and deepen fan engagement beyond match day.

Sligar said she was honoured to continue her journey into the club's next era.

"The GIANTS will always be a huge part of who I am and my career. The people, the memories and the relationships I've built here over the past six seasons will stay with me forever," Sligar said.

"This new chapter isn't about leaving that history behind. It's about taking everything we've built together and creating something new.

"There's something really powerful about the Sirens identity. It's bold, fierce, confident and inclusive. It's a club that wants to make an impact and bring people along for the journey.

"I'm incredibly proud to become the inaugural Sydney Sirens player and I can't wait to see our members and fans join us as we build this next chapter together."

Sirens inaugural Head Coach, Nerida Stewart, said retaining Sligar was a major statement for the club's future.

"Amy embodies everything we want the Sydney Sirens to stand for," Stewart said.

"She's fiercely competitive, team-first, deeply connected to our community and someone who sets standards every day through her actions.

"Her growth as a player and leader has been exceptional and we're thrilled she has committed to the club for the next three seasons. Having Amy become our inaugural Siren is incredibly fitting and we're excited for her to play a major role in what comes next."

Stewart will return as Head Coach for the 2027 Super Netball season, alongside Assistant Coach, Jen Wright, providing continuity for the playing group as the club embarks on its next chapter.

The Sydney Sirens will make their Super Netball debut in 2027, with further announcements regarding players, memberships, partnerships and community initiatives to be made in the coming weeks.

Please note, the transfer of the GIANTS Netball licence to SEG will not be complete until October 1. In the meantime, for further information on the Sydney Sirens please contact info@sydneysirensnetball.com.au.
