The 2021 season
A second season based largely in Australia because of border restrictions; the final year of the long Canterbury era. The first-grade side was coached by Nathan Brown. Wahpedia catalogues 3 distinct 2021 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2021 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 2021 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
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 2021 indigenous jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2021 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.
