Perth Reds Super League Jersey

[Perth Red]

Cheers Nuke, I hadn;t seen any of the old pics of players wearing a Telstra cup shirt so wasn;t sure where it came in.

I'm kinda surprised I knew this myself, given my hatred of 'that' competition and all it stood for at the time!

Surprisingly a nice looking SL jersey. Although without sponsors they always look better.

Telstra Cup was SuperLeague's competition name. Probably not co-incidental that it was called this, as the ARL had the Optus Cup in 1996 and 1997. Initially, SuperLeague's jerseys were logoless (except for that god-awful 'S' on the front & Nike's 'tick' logo), but as the season progressed, these Telstra Cup badges began appearing. I'm guessing Telstra wanted some visual representation on the jerseys of the commitment they were making.

aaaaaah, I disagree a little bit there mate, a few SL teams had sponsors on their jerseys, we had XXXX on our jersey and Chill Milk on the sleeves (these sponsors were worn on our ARL jerseys as well).

Sorry mate, yeah you're right. When I posted that, I was more thinking along the lines of the badges (competition badge, club logo, ect) as opposed to sponsors logos, but yes, you're right. I believe the Perth Reds SuperLeague team were sponsored in their latter stages by Western QBE as major sponsor, and I think they, along with most of the rest of the SuperLeague teams, had Ansett Australia as sleeve sponsors (I'm guessing they sponsored the SuperLeague competition ... again probably not co-incidental given QANTAS was with the ARL at the time).

A team signed 1997 Perth reds jersey has come into my possession and was wondering how much it is worth and who would be interested in buying it?

 

[Perth Red]

Put it up on ebay, they usually go for $3-500 plus, Is it framed?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

There was one on there the other day that had reached $600 or so and I don't think it was even signed. Must have been a match worn one or something.

I have a signed by the team, Perth reds jersey if you're still interested?

I've got a WA Reds JBC Jersey, wonder how that would go on eBay?

 

[Perth Red]

The 95-96 jerseys tend to sell for $75-150 depending on size and condition. the 1997 jerseys were selling for up to $400 as they were rare but the WARL has found a box full of decent/new conditions ones they are flogging for $30 each so that ebay price will be dramatically affected. A signed jersey (especially if by all team and if 1995 first squad) is the most valuable but surprised if it fetches more than $500 unframed.

Probably $50 tops, not that rare and not that collectible, yet. I'd hang on to it, in 20 years when the Reds are established in the NRL it will be worth a lot more!!

I've got a foundation members jersey worn about three times, any idea what this would go for?
