Looks like the Raiders have a different style of socks this year.

I like the idea but it looks a little strange since it is a different shade of green to the jersey.
Could change their year on the paddock.

Look like traditional socks to me.

(And like GAZF says later, they couldn't match it even in 1990).

They've never been able to match the jersey and socks. Might be something to do with a lack of bright green pantone colours as well as the difference in material.

Some good investigative journalism wouldn't go astray here - this needs to be cleared up for the good of the game.

Also noticed that the chest sponsor (TTM) has disappeared on the Raiders jersey.

On another note, have you heard anything about your jersey design GAZF?

Yep. Its partly the different constructions of the fabrics used on each - jerseys smooth finished polyster, socks ribbed, tubular knit cotton. Getting colourfastness from that type of shade is notoriously difficult on most substrates apart from polyester, hence why the socks are more of a dull colour.

Nice mate. It could also be worn against us (Souths) in Round 21 so there's not a clash.
Would be a practical solution although the club did seem intent on wearing it at two home games. Wouldn't rule it out though.

Yep. Apparently it will be worn twice this year. The first is round 5 vs the Eels, the other one is not decided yet

And do you know if replicas will be made for the public to buy? Or will they only have the players jerseys made up and then auction them off, like the Cure de Tour ones from a few years ago?
