Like yeah it's historic but that has to be the shittest jersey ever, it is simply white with some colored sleeves and I'm pretty sure they only wore it once..?

now heres an interesting jersey thats popped up on ebay :
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Newtown-Jets-Rugby-League-Jersey-1983/283511722430?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=00843b6a2ca144b79e887ba7bae9a98f&pid=100675&rk=1&rkt=15&sd=283511722430&itm=283511722430&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:1f16357d-8c42-11e9-82d2-74dbd180644e|parentrq:4673cd6b16b0a99b863280ecffeb49d1|iid:1

at first glance all the badging looks right but theres some issues with it.
Number font looks off, sleeve numbering font and size. and heres the kicker.
here are some neck tags from my original 80s jerseys.
1983

Finally here is a neck tag from a 1993 Classic jersey

i believe Classic changed their neck tags around 1991 to the vertical style in the last photo.

so the only thing i can think of is that the Jets jersey is a 90s early retro release?

I'm a collector of Newtown jerseys and this has me baffled. The badges all look legit, Jets, NSWRFL and Classic but as you point out the tag looks odd and more inline with a early 90s remake BUT... in the 20 years of collecting/obsessing over Jets jerseys I've never seen a remake of the 83 jersey.

Also, the font on the sponsor also seems odd and at odds with the original.

Also thought that if it's legit then it might be a junior reps jersey from the era and that would account for the different numbering style.

My guess that it's a one off remake and not a genuine 83 players jersey. A very nice jersey but not worth 400 clams.

It looks ok but with red shorts its awful.

No wonder we've barely seen it.
