The 2015 season
The club wore its first dedicated ANZAC Round jersey. The first-grade side was coached by Andrew McFadden. Wahpedia catalogues 11 distinct 2015 Warriors designs in total, 5 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2015 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 2015 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 2015 training jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2015 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.
