It reminds me of a nightmare, therefore I’m not that keen.
Is that because you were at Kogarah in 97 when the Steelers beat the Dragons 12-10 wearing that jersey? Couldn't be any of the other 3 games played between them during that jersey period cos the Dragons won each one of those. Seriously though what don't you like about it? I think its a good alternative and last time I went to a game at WIN I was surprised by the number of Illawarra jerseys in the crowd, even after all this time

Yeah, it’s ok. But I also vote for white shorts and red socks for that jersey.

The only away jersey I’ve bought is the Blood n Bandages.
Though I did get a red adidas era training jersey.

NO….it just reminds me of a Paul McGregor!
although a decent Steelers player, he was an absolute arse wipe of a Dragons coach & master deflector. That is all !

Should've gone to spec savers, the jersey has the dragons logo as well as the NRL badge, although they look like they are sewn ons which differs from the proper jersey, could be a fake but gees its time the club who provide the majority of the juniors and I would guess a good proportion of the NRL squad a bit of recognition. And yes the Steelers don't exist but then again neither do the St George.

St george Dragons Red V all is the history of the St george Dragons and the Nrl longest club winning 11 granfinal premiership success in the history in any sport . So illawarra steelers again no longer exists in the nrl they sold out to wincorp and Gordons and was in debt to the St George Leagues club millions that wincorp paid out and now is the St george / Wincop Dragons 50/ 50 of the nrl franchise.

How Good do those jersey's look....​

RED V REVIVAL

A room full of heavy hitters from sport stars to high-flying business people came together to help launch an intimate but passionate support-led group to help St George Illawarra flourish.
The likes of Mark Taylor, Graham Richardson and Warren Livingstone were on-hand for the inaugural lunch at Woolloomooloo Bay on Thursday afternoon. They were joined by Dragons coach Shane Flanagan, chairman Andrew Lancaster and long-term board member Peter Doust.
The idea is the brain child of former Channel 9 and 2GB star Chris O’Keefe and Academy Brand founder Anthony Pitt – who are two of the most connected but ardent Dragons fans.
“This group is about unashamedly asserting the Dragons as the number one club in the NRL,” O’Keefe said. “It’s as simple as that. We have a huge number of powerful and successful people that are passionate Dragons supporters and we want to unlock their networks and talent to support the club and its players in every way.
Dragons great Jason Nightingale joined several high-profile supporters to help rebuild the club back to a premiership force. Picture: Toby Zerna

“Businesses who partner with St George Illawarra will be guaranteed mutual success and our club can leverage these networks of this group however they need to.
“We have a great foundation to build from but we can take it to the next level. Anthony Pitt, Jason Nightingale, a club legend and commercial force in his own right and myself have a pretty simple vision for this; Not only do we want to win premierships, but we want to entrench the Dragons as a formidable and sustainable commercial force too.”
The group will act as a major networking opportunity for sponsors and mentorship for St George Illawarra players and staff.
“In business and politics no single person ever has all the answers, so leaning on expertise from all walks of life will only enhance the success of the Dragons,” O’Keefe said. “The chairman Andrew Lancaster has been instrumental in this and the board can certainly see the value of a group like this.”

Great idea! This type of thing can only be good for the club and should help put the Dragons back on top where we belong!

I reckon as a club we should have four jerseys.

1) Captains Run Jersey - 2025 jersey is great baseline.

The captain's run jersey should always be a white jersey with a red dragon in whatever style is the club's current version of the mascot. As players do warm up on field it looks clearly like a Dragons jersey and it fits perfectly with socks and shorts.

2) The Red V - why mess with perfection?

3) The White V - Simply reverse the colours and have a red jersey with a white V on it with shorts and socks unchanged. This would be the clash jersey

Steelers are gone, the Illawarra in the name is no longer there for the Steelers, but for the district. Leave the Steelers jersey in the past and simply have a reverse of the Red V for clashes and merchandise sales, its simply a reverse of the Red V.

The Red V is our identity and we should always wear it with pride, and every jersey should have a V on it

Create Steeler's tribute jerseys for merchandise sales, but for on field play the jersey should be a V either red or white depending whether its main jersey or clash jersey.

4) The Black V - Only worn on very rare occasions when a former great has passed, this jersey would have no sponsors and would be a black jersey with a red V and it would only be worn for home games at Kogarah or Wollongong. The shorts would be black and the socks would swap the white for black.

Imagine when Jonny Raper passed away if the team ran onto the field in all black with a big red v on the front of the Jersey.

Johhny Raper's passing was a huge moment for our club and all we could do was wear black tape around an arm. We should have a mourning jersey that might only be worn once every couple of years, so its reverence is not diminished and it should not be available for purchase by fans. It's about demonstrating the whole club is in mourning for the passing of giant. The team captain's jersey on the day would then be framed and added to the Dragons museum near whatever commemoration we have for that player.

This would require negotiation with the NRL as it does not comply with current rules but I think the NRL could be brought on board. Only clash I can think of would be Panthers, but the jersey would only be worn at home games so they can wear their away jersey.
