2026 Jerseys, Sponsorships, Logos

The Roosters NRLW have worn navy shorts for the last 3(?) seasons so they could also have decided to implement it across the whole club. It certainly helps avoid clashes when the jersey and shorts are the same colour.

I suspect the NRLW team did it for the same reason that the Dragons NRLW team wear red shorts, namely so that it avoids showing up any women's menstrual issues.

The red collar allows the V to be pushed higher up on the jersey without cluttering, and also allows for a wider white V. Smart move, maybe could have done with some white piping on the collar.

3 stripes down the side are a shame, having them a slightly lighter shade of blue would have made their inclusion more tolerable. Shorts should be white with red/blue/red or blue/red/blue.
My fear of the stripes being red is they’ll stand out more and people will get to see the stripes grow wider apart when they reach my love handles

This. Fun fact only like a year or two ago Wimbledon changed their white underwear policy for women due to this reason. Kinda f**ked it took that long.

But yes, I knew someone who worked for the old emu company in NQ (I think it’s called ev2 or something these days) and they were one of the first companies to realize that maybe women don’t need to wear white shorts for sports.

Yep, and it's just the considerate thing to do. Why put women into a self conscious position by requiring them to wear white shorts every weekend?

Yeah, 100% correct. I was more wondering if the men's team have adopted the blue shorts to create uniform branding across both teams.

As apt a name as that is for a team called the 'Sharks', I know I'm going to get to next season, hear that stadium name, and have no idea which ground that is unless it's being talked about as Cronulla's home game. These days I struggle to recall what ground Pointsbet Stadium, Go Media Stadium, ect, is.

Dad, up until a couple of years ago when he died, had early-onset Alzheimers, and I genuinely am starting to get concerned about my failing ability to recall stadium names. They change too much for me to keep up!

Makes me glad the good eggs on ABC radio (and indeed their sports pages on their website) continue to use the original names for most venues (with some exceptions, e.g. they use Shark Park rather than Endeavour Field, its original name)
