WHY CAN'T THAT BE THEIR REGULAR!!!!! :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Yes please. And the one we wore in trials as the away jersey.

Eels heritage jersey released

Ahh, that's a classic.. love the "blending bars" design.

I was expecting the 2001 'cigarette packet' design because it hasn't been used as heritage yet, but this is a good one.

If the strip worn for their last Grand Final win can't inspire the current squad, nothing will... right??

Wonder if this design was an influence on Newcastle's original 1988 design - it used a similar idea, just with bars of different width blending the red top & blue bottom ends.

Is it me or was the blue on the original jersey darker than that? Either way its a great jersey that works perfectly with their current home/away uniforms.

Never thought of it influencing the Newcastle jersey, the timeframe matches up.

Yeah, I'm sure the late-80s design had a darker blue, but the photo of the heritage jersey might just look lighter in that photo.

As for the influence on the Newcastle design, it's something that intrigues me how teams jerseys change in similar ways around the same time - like how some of NSWRL clubs (Wests, Easts, St George, Canterbury) changed from stripes to a V-design in the 1940s.

Another good one is the change in Penrith (the Dahdah 'allsorts' jersey), then Manly & Norths ('Pepsi' & 'Citibank' jerseys) soon after - concidence or imitation?

Didn't the v s have something to do with fabric shortages during / after ww2?

Ah so that's why the yanks have the Lingerie Football League............ Because of the war in Afghanistan.

Smart bastards those yanks.

What are those things up the top of the players backs that seem to be built into the jersey ? It looks like a little box, you can see the outline of it . Are they GPS trackers or something?

I'd say so, the Tigers were using them in preseason training. Might have something to do with the player tracker on the Fox Sports website.

Raiders may have lined up a sponsor, finally:

LOVE IT! Even better than the Dragons ANZAC jersey with the gold pubes

 

[Dresden Dan]

That Raiders jersey is brilliant! Will it be available to fans to buy?

 

[LESStar58]

Eels heritage jersey released

This is also a nice jersey...maybe the sleeve sponsor up a little higher though?

 

[LESStar58]

Yes please. And the one we wore in trials as the away jersey.

I'm wondering if they will come up with a 15 year strip...maybe wear it against the Broncos?

I'd like to see a gold jersey with purple bolts on the current template with purple trim. Apparently they are looking at doing an Indigenous Round jersey...still need that white jersey as I think its pretty sharp!
