The 2007 season
The Warriors returned to the finals for the first time since 2003. The first-grade side was coached by Ivan Cleary. Wahpedia catalogues 3 distinct 2007 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2007 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 2007 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
Anniversary jerseys are commemorative one-offs, so once the retail run sold through, the only supply has been the second-hand market. To check a 2007 anniversary jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Puma), make sure the sponsor set matches 2007 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.
