2012 Warriors heritage jersey 8.webp​

Canterbury of New Zealand released the exclusive Vodafone Warriors heritage jersey at the Vodafone Warriors Season Launch at SkyCity Auckland on 28th February 2012.

Te Toki Pounamu is the name specially chosen for the 2012 Heritage Jersey, literally meaning ‘The Greenstone Adze’ specifically designed with the club, supporters and players in mind.

The Pounamu (Greenstone) is renowned as a precious stone worn by many to connect to their whenua (land) and their whānau (family). The Toki (Adze) is a weapon used for both ceremonial and functional purposes. Consisting of a hard wood handle and greenstone blade attached to it, a Toki is carried by those who possess mana (standing) and kaha (strength) often qualities found in toa (warriors).

Steeped in the important foundations of whānau and whenua (family and land) the modified Māori axiom specifically altered to accompany the jersey is “Ma te whānau, ma te whenua, mate ai te toa” Which translated means ‘For land and family, the warrior will do his all’.

Colin Gibson, Canterbury of New Zealand Marketing and Sponsorship Manager said, “Canterbury of New Zealand feels very privileged to have worked with designer Dave Burke in the formation of this one-off jersey, with guidance from kaumatua and cultural advisor Luke Crawford.”

“The concept behind the design and the deeper meaning it represents for players, the club and supporters make us extremely proud to be part of the Vodafone Warriors Culture”.

The jersey was sold with a small booklet explaining the design and meaning behind the jersey. The reads as follows:

Te Toki Pounamu- The Jersey

Te Toki Pounamu literally means "The Greenstone Adze" and is a name specially chosen for the 2012 Heritage Jersey. Pounamu (Greenstone) is a precious stone worn by many to connect to their whenua (land) and their whānau (family).

Toki (Adze) is a weapon for both ceremonial and functional use. With hard wood handle and greenstone blade attached it is carried by those who possess mana (standing) and kaha (strength) often qualities found in toa (warriors).

"Te Toki Pounamu" is the Vodafone Warriors celebratory and commemorative jersey designed specifically with the club, supporters and players in mind. It has at its foundations the two important notions of whanau and whenua, family and land. The modified Maori axiom specifically altered to accompany this jersey is "Ma te whánau, ma te whenua, mate ai te toa" which translated means "For land and family, the warrior will do his all"

"Ma te whanau" There are many reasons one might go to battle but sitting at the heart of it all is family. Family give purpose and support to the cause both in victory and defeat. The concept of whanau encapsulates the club and its players, administrators and supporters. It is the whānau that the individual wearing this jersey connects to. For whānau the warrior must be willing to give his all.

"Ma te whenua" speaks of that piece of land the Vodafone Warriors are tasked with defending during a game and the opposition half they are tasked with taking. The prized piece of whenua is the in goal area on attack and in defence. Whenua also speaks to the home ground of the Vodafone Warriors and Aotearoa New Zealand. This is where the
Vodafone Warriors draw their constituency and sense of belonging from. For whenua the warrior must be prepared to give his all.

"Mate ai te toa" is a powerful statement of commitment, dedication and loyalty to the Vodafone Warriors whanau and whenua, its people and its place in this competition and land.

Te Toki Pounamu is a jersey which connects the wearer to the club, the team, the players and Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a statement of strength and courage in the face of all adversity and in the quest for victory and glory for whánau and whenua.

Te Whakamārama - Explanation

The toki of old were both functional and ceremonial in purpose. Painstakingly fashioned with an ornate hardwood handle and sharpened blade of pounamu (greenstone).

○ functionally utilised to dispatch notable combatants' during conflicts,

○ ceremonially carried as a symbol of leadership, power and prowess.

So we liken the wearer to the hardwood handle and the jersey itself to the pounamu blade. Together they serve to satisfy both the functional and ceremonial aspects and purpose of the toki pounamu in that opponents will be suitably dispatched in a manner and style befitting a noble and true warrior.

"He ope taua, He ope toa" A warrior nation!!

100% polyester Sublimate Pique mesh, 245gsm. Contemporary Fit Rugby jersey, featuring the new "loop 21" neck design. Contrasting tape detail. CCC embroidered logo - centre front, Warriors embroidered logo on left chest, NRL Premiership embroidered logo on right chest. Vodafone logo - centre front, Vodafone logo - upper centre back, Skycity lower centre back, Lion Red logos on each sleeve. All in sublimate print.

The jersey takes the design element from the 2002 jersey where the WARRIORS made their first grand final appearance. The Flax (harekeke) design represents voyaging, sailing (all of the first peoples initially arriving in New Zealand by sea), navigation and most importantly it represents being bound tightly together - each notch being as important as the other, connections, strength, unity and holding fast.

As part of the NRL's Women in League Round the Warriors wore a pink jersey that was specifically tailored towards female fans. The Women in League was actually in Round 10 but the Warriors couldnt wear their jersey as they were playing the Penrith Panthers at home who were wearing theirs (That being the game where the Panthers gave the Warriors their largest loss 62-6). Instead the Warriors would wear their Women in League jersey the following Round at Mt Smart against the Newcastle Knights. This would be the only time this jersey was worn...

This jersey was worn during the Warriors match at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. The design was based off a historical Wellington League Jersey hence the sublimated embroidered upper chest area and tie up collar.

The design for this jersey was accidentally leaked online by a supplier. At the time it wasnt known whether the jersey was actually going to go into production. After a lot of demand CCC announced that the jersey would be made available to the public and it went on to become one of its top sellers for the year.

Called the 'Enforcer' by the Warriors and CCC this jersey was widely known as the Terminator by most fans.

Designed to appeal to children this jersey was a huge success. Both Children's and adult sizes sold well.

The club copped some flak for the size of the Vodafone logo. Even more astounding was when CCC confirmed that the logo was originally bigger but Vodafone themselves asked for it to be reduced.

First players jerseys had a red number on the back. Not sure why but these numbers would be replaced by white numbers. I believe it was an issue with visibility.

The other variation is the sleeve sponsor. Some have TNT and the others have Holden. The Holden patch that was sewn on also came in dark grey and white.

The U20 Home jersey, with a white Holden patch on the sleeve, was also worn during the teams Grand Final loss to the Panthers. The key difference was the NRL issued NYC Grand Final badge...
