The uniforms will be proudly worn during the Wildcats' home Indigenous Round clash against Tasmania JackJumpers on Thursday 7 November at RAC Arena and two days later on the road against Melbourne United at John Cain Arena.
Jarnda said she was proud to design this season's Indigenous uniforms and hoped it meant a lot to the players when they run out together wearing them next month.
"It means a lot, I'm proud of myself but I also hope the players are proud to wear it," Jarnda said.
"I hope they're proud to run out onto the court with something that means a lot to them as well as a lot of other people in the community and the Red Army.
"With the design, I wanted to touch on the communities that not only Keanu comes from, but everyone else that's a part of the team because they all come from somewhere."
Jarnda already has a connection with the Wildcats through her cousin and star big man Keanu Pinder, who she's designed shoes for during previous Indigenous Rounds.
"He's my cousin," she said.
"He's from Derby and I'm from Broome, and his mum (Tracey) is my aunty. We're a very close family.
"We've been talking about the design a little bit and I sent a few drafts to him."
The jersey consists of five layers - 'those before us', 'our personal journey', 'the team and club', 'the elders that still guide us' and 'the clubs/grassroots/opportunities'.
Boorloo, the Noongar name for Perth, is proudly displayed across the front of the design, while dandjoo (meaning together) is on the neck.
The Indigenous jerseys and polo shirts are on sale now at the Cats Gear Team Store
