Ben Rogers and Isaac De Gois modelling the Knights heritage jersey they'll wear against the Roosters today:

Yellow numbers! Love it!

Should be their home strip.

The shorts:

Theyre just training shorts, surely?

 

[Frederick]

*shrugs* Maybe, they do look to be lacking in sponsor logos

EDIT: Yep, they're just the training shorts.

 

[Timmah]

Yep, missing the OAK sponsorship.

I hope they use that as their home jersey when the current jersey is replaced.

I would love that. I think I mentioned this some time ago in the Newcastle section of these forums, but if we did that (or that Gazzaf version where the design is the same, but the red is at the bottom and the blue is at the top), then I'd have a similar design to the 2003 World Sevens jersey as the alternate jersey.

Here's my preferences:

MAIN JERSEY

OR (the design on the right)

ALTERNATE

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason both North Queensland and South Sydney decided not to join in the Heritage Round theme? I realise NthQld's 2008 heritage jersey (that they've already worn this season) would clash with NZ's blue one, but surely they could've used their original 1995 design or similar and avoided a clash?

Souths, in my eyes, have no excuse for not joining in. They have had numerous jerseys to choose from in their history. Last year's one looked great - and it's not too dissimilar to their current jerseys.

NQ's decision was based on, as you said, their decision to wear it in R6 to avoid the clash this week (which it wouldn't have if they'd noticed how dark NZ's deep blue was).

Souths reasoned that their current jersey is almost the same as their previous jerseys. I call their bluff - it was probably to do with not short-changing DeLonghi on being on the away jersey 12 times.

The whole heritage round is farked anyway, where you have the Warriors wearing some blue strip that looks nothing like the NZ Warriors or Auckland have worn ever, and the Titans and Tigers also making half-arsed attempts.

 

[Timmah]

Tigers, half-arsed? :? You could label many clubs as having half-arsed attempts but the Tigers is not one of them :lol:

 

[Tom Shines]

Why? When have the Tigers ever worn that strip? There's not one thing 'heritage' about it.

I don't agree that Wests Tigers attempt at a heritage jersey was half-arsed, but I do believe a mish-mash of several previous Balmain jerseys isn't the way to go. In my opinion, it should be one design done 100% right (obviously with the new material, badges, logos, and sponsors, ect). Choose one 'heritage' design and stick with it. Even if they choose a different heritage design the following year (especially now as it seems that this will be an annual thing).

NZ's modernising of an Auckland rep jersey also isn't quite right in my opinion. I don't have a problem with them (or NthQld) having a regional rep jersey as their heritage jersey, but it should be done as close as possible to that jersey. That being said, I would've loved to have seen the original Auckland Warriors & NthQld Cowboys jerseys being used this morning.

You've lost me with this bit. If it was a Souths away game regardless of where it was being played (which is the case), then the sponsor/s on their 'away' jersey would be the ones on the heritage jersey.
That's the way I'd think it would be done anyway.
