Silver-grey Indigenous Round jersey honouring tangata whenua, worn hosting the Broncos at Mt Smart on 25 May 2019 and carrying the 25th Season crest. The greys and silver evoke Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud, and the silver fern; the upper half depicts mountains and koru mist rising to Ranginui, with kowhaiwhai bands of mangopare (hammerhead shark), mangotipi (great white) and koiri across the body and sleeves.
★ The club's second NRL Indigenous Round jersey, worn in the 25th season.

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.
Collector's notes
Indigenous Round jerseys change design every season with a credited artist, so this one is a single-season issue and part of a run many collectors try to complete. To check a 2019 indigenous 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.
