2000 New Zealand Warriors Away Jersey
A predominantly red away jersey by Puma with distinctive collar detailing, worn as the team's change strip, carrying the Puma logo and Vodafone sponsorship.

The 2000 season
The final season under the Auckland Warriors name before the club was rebranded as the New Zealand Warriors. The first-grade side was coached by Mark Graham. Wahpedia catalogues 2 distinct 2000 Warriors designs in total, 2 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2000 season page.
Maker and sponsor
Puma made the Warriors' on-field jerseys from 2000 to 2008, so this design belongs to the Puma era of the club's kit. The front-of-jersey sponsor in 2000 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
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 2000 home jersey. To check a 2000 away jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Puma), make sure the sponsor set matches 2000 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.
