Great to see that Bears jersey back! One of my all time favouries.
Newtown, Dogs, and Illawarra (is that who that is?) also look great
Great line up of NSW Cup jerseys this year.
LOL at people now loving the black shoulder 1990's Bears jerseys.
Back in 1992 when Norths brought in the new design jersey, it was roundly criticised for being too black by fans and members, with not enough red.
So the club inverted the black and put in the red from 1993.
Still, that Citibank 1993-1999 jersey is awesome. Very fond memories of going to NSO with a mate who is no longer with us and watching Bears games. Between the two of us, every year was going to be our year. Funny how things turn out.
Interesting story, explains the move from the black-top to red-top 1990s jersey. Not sure why they then went to another variation with flame-tips in the late 1990s - probably one of the rarest Norths jerseys.

Two things:
1. In 1992, I was 6, so I don't think I had that much of an opinion.
2. I was more saying that the black-top was a better contrast to the red and black hoops/bars than the red-top.
Incidentally, now the Intrust Super Premiership NSW.
Just like the QLD Cup is the Intrust Super Cup :crazy:
Quite a few black jerseys there though - would be nice to see Penrith in the old gold & tigers in orange for that photoshoot.
The flame jersey the Bears last wore was the coolest craziest jersey in history.
Oh God, make it even more confusing.
Unless, people start referring the competitions as "Queensland Intrust Super Cup" and "NSW Intrust Super Premiership"
