2017 New Zealand Warriors Away Jersey
White-based away strip with black shoulders and a very subtle grey chest pattern that echoes the old V, Vodafone front sponsor, Canterbury maker. Widely regarded as a forgettable, understated design.

The 2017 season
Stephen Kearney's first season in charge and the last year of the under-20s national competition. The first-grade side was coached by Stephen Kearney. Wahpedia catalogues 5 distinct 2017 Warriors designs in total, 4 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2017 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 2017 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
Away jerseys see fewer matches and smaller retail runs than the home design, so clean examples are harder to find than the 2017 home jersey. To check a 2017 away jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2017 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.
