2016 New Zealand Warriors Alternate Jersey
Black base with an all-over red-and-grey contour-line sublimated pattern and red shoulders. Possibly a trial/training shirt rather than an on-field NRL alternate - the pictured jersey carries no NRL competition badge.

The 2016 season
The final season under Andrew McFadden. The first-grade side was coached by Andrew McFadden. Wahpedia catalogues 10 distinct 2016 Warriors designs in total, 5 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2016 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 2016 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
Alternate strips are worn for only a handful of games and made in small runs, which puts this among the scarcer 2016 designs. To check a 2016 alternate jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2016 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.
