The 2012 season
A season of change following the 2011 Grand Final run. The first-grade side was coached by Brian McClennan, then Tony Iro. Wahpedia catalogues 7 distinct 2012 Warriors designs in total, 4 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2012 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 2012 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 2012 training jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2012 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.
