Jersey Information

2000 saw Puma become the Warriors new official supplier and what they rolled out was this monstrosity. They were under some serious time constraints having only signed a couple months before the 2000 season so to be able to get something done in a process that usually takes 9 months was admirable.

The players jerseys all had no permanent sleeve sponsors like the retail versions and instead had a much larger Barter Card badge sewn on. Any 2000 players jerseys will either have the badge or have a blank sleeve.

This jersey was worn for most of the season except where it clashed with the home team. There is very little information about this jersey as the club stopped publishing magazines in 2000 but I do believe this was both a home/away jersey with the red one being an alternate but more research needs to be done to prove this.

Only other variation I know of are made by Classic but strangely enough it has a 1998 NRL patch. This is the last known official 3rd party variation made by another supplier apart from the NRL labelled clean skins*.

*clean skins are jerseys produced by a contractor on behalf of the NRL and have no sponsors logos on them. They are usually much cheaper than official jerseys...
