Welcome to Jersey News
A wrap up of all the things we noticed with jerseys this week. Our goal is to give you a little insight into the things we see and encourage you to send through anything you noticed.
Dolphins
The Dolphins wore their home jersey for the very first time on Sunday in their historic win over the Roosters at Suncorp Stadium.
Each jersey had match details recorded on the chest plate to mark the occasion.
The Dolphins have given the fans their chance to get a piece of history by auctioning the match worn jerseys signed by the player who wore the jersey. As expected Kafusi’s jersey has the most attention.
Titans New Sponsor
The Titans replaced sleeve sponsor Trigon X with Ringers Western on Away jersey for Round 1. It was a noticeable vinyl patch on each sleeve when they played at Leichardt on the weekend .
Titans Socks
Rumour has it the reason they wore white socks due to their normal socks not making the trip down.
