White Puma player-issue training jersey with red collar, Vodafone sponsorship. Sometimes attributed to 2001, but it carries the current Warriors logo (2001 gear still used the old club logo), placing it in 2002.

The 2002 season
The Warriors won the minor premiership and reached their first NRL Grand Final, losing to the Sydney Roosters. The first-grade side was coached by Daniel Anderson. Wahpedia catalogues 5 distinct 2002 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2002 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 2002 was Vodafone.
Collector's notes
Training gear was made in small quantities and rarely documented, so exact designs are best confirmed against dated photos from the season. To check a 2002 training jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Puma), make sure the sponsor set matches 2002 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.
