Warriors' 20th anniversary jerseys released

Eye-catching new Canterbury of New Zealand-designed home and away jerseys have been released today to mark the Vodafone Warriors’ landmark 20th anniversary season in 2015.

The two designs feature a stylised fern V on the chest to reflect the Warriors’ New Zealand roots while the home strip again sports the club’s established core colours of black, red and white.

Canterbury has given the designs a further point of difference by departing from the base colour of white, which distinguished the away kits in its first six seasons as the club’s kit provider from 2009-2014.

Underpinning the New Zealand essence of the fern-styled V, silver has also been introduced through the body of the away jersey.

Playmaker Shaun Johnson joined Sam Tomkins, Thomas Leuluai and Chad Townsend to model the kits for a photo shoot last month.

"As soon as I saw the new home and away jerseys for next year I was blown away.

"They have a really strong New Zealand feel about them and look great and feel great to wear. I can’t wait to play in them next season."

New graphics are also a feature while another eye-catching element is the 20-year Vodafone Warriors logo embroidery on the left chest celebrating the 20th anniversary season.

There is another design highlight on the back of the jersey in the shape of a tiki set apart in tonal colours.
