Was blessed enough to receive a gift from the GC at Dynasty. Blown away by the generosity from Tyler and the team.

Full disclosure. The team at Dynasty reached out to me to view my collection for ideas last November so it was known even that early that Puma were getting turfed out (from what I have been told the club were just over Puma and their supply issues as well as the poor quality of the gear. Preseason gear showing late, gear not showing up at all ie 2022 heritage shorts, training gear constantly ripping and not having the ability to replace gear quickly, using in house blanks and slapping club logos oin them... the list goes on).

Apologies for keeping the news confidential but I wanted to respect the trust they had in me. Surprised it stayed mum up until the club released that info themselves. I havent been privy to designs so Im as informed as anyone else here in that regard.

One thing I will add is the design team were genuinely excited to be the official supplier and getting the chance to work on the teams merchandise. As far as league merch goes the Warriors are the pinnacle. Makes it even better its a home grown company that is still locally owned and run. Using sustainable material is also another great touch.

According to someone at Dynasty the heritage jersey is going to be insane. No idea on release date but its a big call so heres hoping it delivers.

The basketball shorts are two weeks away with their next shipment not arriving until November 10th. I live in shorts year round so I'm desperate to secure a couple pairs at least. There was actually CCC shorts for the similar looking singlet they made but it never made it past the prototype stage. Chris, who use to work at CCC and is now at Dynasty has a pair of the prototypes and the basketball set has his design influence all over it.

Loving the range so far and that seems to be the general consensus across all social media platforms. Early sales indicate as much. The red collar on the home jersey is a nice nod to the original. Even the curves and proportions of the chevrons are on point with the 1995 jersey.

Never been a fan of merch using colours outside the traditional club palette so the training jerseys arent really me but no doubt there will be those that are thrilled with the teal and peach offerings.

Those basketball shorts though 🥵🔥🔥🔥. Going to be gutted if I miss out on a pair...

You really have become our conduit between club, fans and apparel provider - as it should be.

I’m impressed Dynasty had the smarts and good culture to send you a pack in good will, awesome.

You should be proud Welly, your long term support and devotion (not to mention thousands of dollars) to our club and its off field representation is impressive and clearly valued - by many.

Congrats bro.
 
I’m not a Jafa but it would be cool if the heritage jersey was a throwback to one of the old Auckland rep jerseys- always thought they looked good.
Couldn’t find a photo of the 89 team who beat Australia but found this one from the 77 side who also beat them.

What about some of the names in there.
That version of it we wore against Manly in 2007 was the first Warriors jersey I bought, and is still one of my favourite jerseys. It’s a great strip, I hope we see it again too.

Personally Im blown away by the new retro jersey. Guess I get a hard on for most Warriors jerseys but this one definitely hits the spot.

When the Dynasty design team from Australia and NZ came over to view my collection in February last year the one jersey I pitched them was the 1995 away.

While its been often copied with inspired takes its never quite been done with any real justice whatsoever. To see a faithful reproduction warms the heart. One thing I never took into account was the importance of the OG sponsor to the overall aesthetic of the jersey. That Dynasty had the balls to even entertain removing the main sponsor logo blows my mind. Recreating the DB Bitter script is what truly nails this design. Add to that the collar, rubber button and identical chevrons and you have a jersey that easily tops the greatest Warriors heritage jersey of all time and may even be the best jersey we will see across the competition this season.

I'll likely get at least a couple extra to wear over the years and retire the OG jersey to special occasions. While the OG still has a lot of wear left in it its 30 odd year age and $500+ value means its best to look after them. Will probably also have to change from drinking bourbon to vodka too cause white jerseys dont stay white very long with me.

Pretty stoked to get a parcel from Dynasty with a personal message from CNK as well. Not an influencer by any means but humbled regardless...

Nice of Tyler to mention me. I've helped a few suppliers over the years but pulled back after getting nothing in return for my time and knowledge. Dynasty have been more than generous to me and Im pleased that they are genuinely looking to honour the clubs history and add to it in their way.

Based off what they have done with the Moana Pasifika jerseys I reckon we are in for an eye opening indigenous jersey ourselves. Could be wrong but Asics have released a boot today that might be a hint to what we can expect but its a wild guess...
