Same as last year with sponsor alterations tbh

It has a different collar too, the same collar as the previous home and away jerseys.

Jersey looks so much better with First Mac on black instead of the white.

Hopefully they change it for the home jersey too.

Hahahaha, love the photo shopped sleeve sponsors!! Looks OK, just the stripes should be up a bit higher.

This kind of sh*ts me this whole heritage jersey round thingy.

So we've got Wests playing in a remake of a jersey from 1950's against Souffs in an early 1980's jersey? Where's the heritage in that????

At least in the AFL when they have heritage rounds they have a decade theme, so that at least it makes some sense, rather than having this half ar$ed effort by the NRL.

Same thing will happen Friday night: 20 years since 1992 broncos vs saints GF: broncos in their '92 strip, us in our 1920's jersey!

I love the Heritage Rounds, brings back the old jersies.

Gotta love them footballs, and I agree all the games this weekend should use them. I recall they used them in 2004 for 80s week, and the referee's wore the old TNT designs, bring back them.

That Storm jumper looks pretty good, although the sponsor kind of ruins it a bit.

I believe it's last years main jersey, the all green with yellow/blue/white bands around the arms. That was what they said when voting on the new strip anyway.

RE: the alternate strip - I like it and don't mind it... but why blue shorts? GREEN shorts would suit it perfectly and make far better sense.

RE: ANZAC strip - it's not to make a buck. Jerseys.com.au confirmed it will not be made available to the public.

Traditionally the Raiders have almost always worn blue shorts when they have a white alternate jersey.

I believe it's because the ACT's official colours are blue and yellow.

VERY good call - there should be a nominated decade for heritage round - and recently added teams can use some sort of club jersey from local competition that dates back to that era.

The Warriors could even use an old Mt Albert club jersey, seeing as they were the ones that got the ball rolling on an Auckland bid way back in the lats 80s/early 90s.

I remember once seeing a game between Manly & North Sydney in the 1990s where they wore old designs from the 1970s or 1960s with LACES under the neck!

Raiders have announced Huawei as their major sponsor. No source yet.....more to come.

Looks so stupid.

 

[_Johnsy]

That's worse than the WOW sponsorship, looks shyte.

 

[GAZF]

Would have looked better in white, kind of gets lost in the green. Hopefully they do just that for next year.

The NRL needs to introduce some rules as to what colours can be used on particular clubs jerseys.

yeah reckon it's just a quick mock up for the press conference, but does look rubbish.

 

[Son of Dragondad]

Isn't the government having a huge blow up with Huawei at the moment?

 

[Raidersrawesome]

Dont mind it , dont care how it looks , doesnt make or break the jersey

 

[_Johnsy]

Yeah, the Govt were concerned about their security, or their lack of it and obviously had some concerns. Rightfully so.

Quick google search shows the US Govt has had similar concerns.
