Cowbs retiring #12 for the night on Saturday.

More interesting is the NRL allowing the use of the older style solid numbering.

the Roosters used older style numbers on their heritage jersey in 2022.

Any reason why the Dragons have stopped wearing their red away jersey at Wollongong games?

Yet the tigers seem to always be in orange now at Leichhardt games.

Daily Telegraph did a story about NRL jerseys in 2024, just came across it on Reddit (I don't have access to the original source, text was in the comments).
Main points were:
77 jerseys across all teams this season. Equivalent to every team having a new jersey every 5 games. If some crazy bastard wanted to buy them all it would apparently be $13,000.
General idea of the story was sacrificing tradition for money with cynical cash grab jerseys and rugby leagues ability to disrespect its own past.
Also mentioned is the NRL has a 5 jersey cap on teams per season. I didn't know that was a thing. Although also mentions Souths have exceeded that with 6.

Anyway I didn't necessarily agree with all the points as they were presented but I agree with much of the sentiment.

Hopefully that jersey cap puts pressure on Souths to ditch their away jersey (not to be confused with the alternate jersey) next year and just change the shorts from black to white if necassary, e.g against Parramatta as the away team

I’ve bought all six Souths jerseys this year. Can’t see the problem. People whinge they don’t have alternatives, then they whine they have too many! 🤣

Just another out of touch old man yells at cloud article from the codgers at the Daily Telegraph.

The clubs wouldn't need to make bank by selling 5 jerseys a year if the "history" and "tradition" was actually as valuable as claimed, and Ritchie's complaint isn't actually about the number anyway, it's about the fact that there's any change at all.

If he was actually serious about reducing the number of jerseys a season he'd advocate for the NRL to get rid of mandatory alts like Indigenous Round jerseys.
