NETBALL QUAD SERIES

Netball Quad Series is contested between four of international Netball’s strongest nations, the Silver Ferns, Australian Diamonds, England Roses and South Africa’s SPAR Proteas. Fashioned to include a majestic bird featuring the colours of SANZEA’S inaugural four nations, it is a symbol of beauty, flight, power, strength, precision, and movement with grace and breadth (wing span), wisdom and experience (all seeing). Named Victorious, she takes her influence from an eagle - a recognised symbol of vision, leadership and strength. The association with a bird of prey of such power and dominance, beauty and grace; the sleek lines represent Victorious’ intelligence, ability to soar and keen sight. She is seen as a visionary who is willing to push the limits of self and team and is summoned when about to embark on a challenge – the challenge of the Netball Quad Series. 5
