The 1995 season
The Warriors' inaugural season, playing out of Ericsson Stadium in Auckland after entering the Australian Rugby League premiership as the Auckland Warriors. The first-grade side was coached by John Monie. Wahpedia catalogues 3 distinct 1995 Warriors designs in total, 2 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 1995 season page.
Maker and sponsor
Canterbury supplied the on-field jerseys in 1995, a one-season arrangement that makes 1995 kit distinctive. Supporter replicas were made separately by Lenco, so a Lenco label identifies a fan version rather than a fake. The front-of-jersey sponsor in 1995 was DB Bitter.
Collector's notes
Away jerseys see fewer matches and smaller retail runs than the home design, so clean examples are harder to find than the 1995 home jersey. To check a 1995 away jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 1995 rather than a neighbouring year, and compare stitching, collar and sponsor placement against the photo above. Replicas are usually a looser cut in a lighter fabric than player-issue jerseys, which also carry a number and, in most eras, a tighter athletic fit.
