General 2023 Warriors Jerseys and Merchandise

[Blackdot]

I saw The Mad Butcher in that new polo w/sleeve chevrons yesterday at a mall. I like the idea of the simplicity, but it looked a bit naff to me in person - I'm not sure what aspect of it though, just when I saw it my immediate reaction was, meh.

Lets not be too quick to judge, we can not accurately determine how good or bad it is until we see it covered in the black sand of Bethells- the ultimate test 😂

Not a fan of the navy. Too dark. Prefer the more vibrant cobalt blue from 2022...

It feels like every year since the OG colours were brought back, the blue has been dark for no reason. 2020 and next year the worst offenders.

I don't mind the navy, but I don't understand why you would be handed one of the best colour schemes to work with, I would argue not only in the NRL but in sport as a whole, and put out something which is pretty bang average : /

Pros… looks sharp and doesn’t have Vodafone logos plastered all over it. Made from cotton rather than polyester!

Con’s… $100….mate ya dreaming at that price for a polo shirt!!

That new merch is taking the piss. No sponsor logos, plastic print logos, and more expensive!
Clearly rushed out to try and appease the fans, but seriously I can't see these selling well.
But what do I know - I slammed the Bush shirt and it's now taken on some kind of cult status!

 

[marv]

man, i dig the simplicity. and especially dig the darker blue.

although straying further from the original colours, it’s a much more mature look, and from an aesthetic/design standpoint, much MUCH more pleasing to the eye.

i can’t wait to see the rest of it all.
hoping for |🤢ONE nz| on the front of the jersey rather than a giant 🤢

I agree. Its actually outrageous that they would charge $100 for a polo and its only got heat pressed badges. For that record setting price you'd want it embroidered and know that it'll basically last a lifetime.

And the picnic table jersey is still shit and one of the worst rugby league jerseys ever worn...

Agar on the left hand side of that top photo. I assumed he would still be with the Samoan squad

I'd forgot about Agar 🤦

Yep I’m the same, don’t like the chevron either.

 

[matiunz]

Range so far just kinda looks cheap and thrown together last minute. Price is far too high too

 

[AlexM]

As long as the playing kit is flash I'd rather they saved money on training kits.
Remember when they had like a fire and ice combo? Cool but like... really.. training tops

 

[Vancent]

I reckon they’ve been hinting at a darker shade of blue for a while. The shading on the web site and when you open the app has the 2022 cobalt diagonally opposed by the darker blue.

Wonder what the rationale for that is? Could they be trying to darken the whole kit so we go back to the black out days? At night time that shade of blue will look like a darker midnight blue.

Maybe Im just resistant to change but I love the OG blue tone.

In other news I seen the players wearing a quarter zip windbreaker in the 2023 theme and its looks pretty cool...

Would you have any idea what that Red/Orange Puffy Jacket you sometimes saw Brownie and Stacie in was?

Would need a pic. I paid little attention to the Nathan Brown led Warriors...

Wife gets me the singlet for Xmas every year- that dark blue one a couple of years ago was my least favorite so probably not gonna like this one either.
On the bright side at least there’ll be no sleeves for them to slap them chevrons on.
Love a good chevron on the front of a jersey but looks weird on the sleeves.

Im with you Welly, I have always loved the OV scheme - still the only one that really feels unique to us.

I like the navy too but not as much.

Has anyone been given the 10% discount code yet? I can't find it in the emails for 2023 or even 2022

Haha I bought them.

I bought the ice on because it looked amazing. I bought the fire one because it was on sale very cheap and meant I had the set.


Do you know what I miss? Canterbury overproducing like crazy so when the Warriors bombed out you could get jerseys cheap as chips. Gutted I missed the heritage one this year.
