The 2009 season
Canterbury took over as on-field jersey maker from Puma, an association that ran until 2021. The first-grade side was coached by Ivan Cleary. Wahpedia catalogues 5 distinct 2009 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2009 season page.
Maker and sponsor
Canterbury made the Warriors' on-field jerseys from 2009 to 2021, so this design belongs to the Canterbury era of the club's kit. The front-of-jersey sponsor in 2009 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 2009 home jersey. To check a 2009 away jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2009 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.
