The 2020 season
The COVID-19 season, with the squad relocating to Australia for most of the year to keep the competition going. The first-grade side was coached by Stephen Kearney, then Todd Payten. Wahpedia catalogues 11 distinct 2020 Warriors designs in total, 5 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2020 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 2020 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
ANZAC jerseys are single-season commemorative issues; signed examples and match-issued versions with the round's sleeve patches attract the strongest interest. To check a 2020 anzac jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2020 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.
