The 2019 season
The club marked 25 seasons in the competition. The first-grade side was coached by Stephen Kearney. Wahpedia catalogues 7 distinct 2019 Warriors designs in total, 6 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2019 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 2019 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
Heritage jerseys are one-season retail releases and tend to hold their value better than the same year's home strip, especially designs that revive the 1995 look. To check a 2019 heritage jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2019 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.
