The Warriors were originally meant to start playing in the 1994 NSWRL competition but due to the other three clubs (North Queensland Cowboys, South Queensland Crushers and Perth Reds) not being prepared all four clubs were delayed until the following season.
The 1994 jersey would be the first Auckland Warriors jersey offered to the public for general sale through retail stores and mail orders.
Official Supplier
Canterbury of NZ (CCC)
CCC would once again be the official suppliers to the club. This seasons jersey would differ from the previous season with the CCC logo now located under the NSWRL badge and being made out of 100% polyester.
Ansett sleeve sponsor logos were also added as a text box with white background. Not all 1994 CCC jerseys had a sleeve sponsor but this sponsorless variation is far less common. Speaking of sleeves this jersey featured a massive 3/4 sleeve that reached a grown mans mid forearm.
Players Jerseys
As far as I am aware there were no games played wearing the Auckland Warriors jersey. All contracted players were playing for their NSWRL or Super League teams while New Zealand based players were playing in the Lion Red Cup with the Auckland Warriors development players playing for the CRC Auckland City Vulcans. The only known examples of players wearing this jersey were standard replicas worn during promotions or signing news.
