2014 New Zealand Warriors Women in League Jersey

The 2014 season

The inaugural Auckland Nines was staged at Eden Park, giving the club its first dedicated Nines jersey. The first-grade side was coached by Matthew Elliott, then Andrew McFadden. Wahpedia catalogues 10 distinct 2014 Warriors designs in total, 4 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2014 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 2014 was Vodafone.

Collector's notes

Women in League jerseys are made in small numbers and frequently sold for charity, so they are among the harder modern designs to source in original condition. To check a 2014 women in league jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2014 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.
