Good spotting. So if memory serves me right, back in the super league days, and a year or two after (when the warriors and the panthers were in the super league) alot of the teams had similar looking jerseys, just different colour variations. So the warriors jersey you mention, was known as a stacey jones tribute jersey - and it used this style jersey as his tribute. This panthers warm up tee must be a tribute to a similar time.
Definitely looks like a Super League throwback for Penrith.
Nike did some great stuff with sport in the 90s, but the Super League unis were pretty poor IMO (especially having no team logos)*.
* These are replicas in this photo, but the match ones just had sponsors added. The Nike logo is where the team logo would normally go.

The pajama years, I look at them with nostalgia now.
Main problem was it was a bit of a rush job to get them out on time ,there’s only 5 templates that teams just had different colour ways- ours for example was the same as Penriths but in different colours.
It annoyed the shit out of me that teams had to use the ‘S’ logos in team colours as team logos due to the ARL owning the logos. There was one stage where the teams were going to have to change their names too (eg Broncos-Brumbies, Raiders -Vikings, Panthers-Pumas etc) ‘Avengers’ was an awful name and thankfully we kept warriors.
I actually brought the 98 retro last year lol
Wow, I did not know about the name changes... Avengers! hah
With the jerseys all being so similar it was odd that they didn't have home and away versions... like one more predominantly white.

Has anyone seen much of the new gear in store?
I have seen a few jerseys of different sizes on the shelves but not much of an overall selection. That has been the case the last few years under both Puma and Dynasty where as with Canterbury by November I'd have a training shirt, singlet and maybe a polo and a new jersey.
Last year there was a small window at one of my local Rebel Sports where there was a decent selection. I think I held off buying as I was going to get some vouchers. I did get my size for the singlet (since forgotten.
I tend to see more Super Rugby gear on the shelves than Warriors.
Even online often Rebel Sport has a pretty poor selection. They are obviously selling a lot as Dynasty is often out of stock.
My purchases have gone from 3-4 items a year to just a training jersey last year and nothing the previous Puma years. Ok they are getting me via my kids instead but it is easier to buy for them online as the sizing is age based.

Awesome, better than expected.
I got last seasons version of it and liked it but found the fit a bit off, hopefully this years one is a bit better
I’ve been pleasantly surprised how much Warriors stock is at my local Rebel. I’m live in Parra/Penrith catchment area and the local stores tend to sway towards their local team heavily but noticed my one has equal amounts of Warriors stuff compared to Eels and Panthers- even saw last years heritage in stores before it was released etcHas anyone seen much of the new gear in store?

What is everyone's thoughts on this?
I really like having names and numbers on the jerseys. I think we are missing an opportunity that other sports take advantage of. I'd like to see players take a number when signing for the club and sticking with it. Mucks up the 1 is fullback, 2 is wing etc but doesn't seem to be an issue for any American sports, or football. May be an issue with player endorsements though and star players wanting a cut of merchandise sales with their name on? Would be great if you were SJ but maybe not so good if you were Jackson Ford?

I have no idea why the NRL has never had this. You see it at State of Origin and International rugby league. What other sports don't have the names on the jerseys?
It comes off as being cheap, like they only have one set of jerseys or something. Amateur sport teams will order custom jerseys for just one tournament these days.
I remember them doing it with super league and it was weird seeing say 25 on the field and also made it harder to know where a player was playing position wise- but you’re right that it’s an additional revenue stream

I thought most of the clubs have their sponsors in the spot the name would be. Likely more money from sponsors than jersey sales. You also might have the players wanting a cut since it is their name that helps sell the jerseys. I like the idea though.
They do, but it also doesn't require much room for the name.
Here are a couple of examples of two back sponsors and a players name:
