The 2008 season
A finals run that included a famous away win over Melbourne, and the first season of the club's under-20s side in the Toyota Cup. The first-grade side was coached by Ivan Cleary. Wahpedia catalogues 3 distinct 2008 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2008 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 2008 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 2008 home jersey. To check a 2008 away jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Puma), make sure the sponsor set matches 2008 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.
