The 2011 season
The Warriors reached their second NRL Grand Final, losing to Manly, in Cleary's final season; the under-20s won a second straight Toyota Cup. The first-grade side was coached by Ivan Cleary. Wahpedia catalogues 7 distinct 2011 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2011 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 2011 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
Heritage jerseys are one-season retail releases and tend to hold their value better than the same year's home strip, especially designs that revive the 1995 look. To check a 2011 heritage jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2011 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.
