The Top 5 New Zealand Warriors Jerseys of All Time

Aug 17, 2026

The New Zealand Warriors have produced some of the most iconic jerseys in rugby league history. From the bold colours of the Auckland Warriors era to the sleek modern Dynasty Sport designs, the club has never been afraid to stand out.

Narrowing it down to just five wasn't easy, but we've done our best. Whether you're a long-time Warriors supporter or simply love collecting classic rugby league jerseys, these are our Top 5 New Zealand Warriors jerseys of all time.

1. 1995 Auckland Warriors Inaugural Jersey

Taking out the top spot is the jersey that started it all.

The original 1995 Auckland Warriors Inaugural Jersey remains one of the most recognisable jerseys ever worn in the NRL. The bold blue, red and white colour combination, geometric design and original Warriors logo perfectly captured the excitement surrounding the club's debut season.

More than 30 years later, it's still one of the most sought-after retro jerseys among collectors.

Its popularity was highlighted again in 2024 when the Warriors released a heritage version inspired by the original away strip. The jersey sold out through the official Warriors store in just 18 minutes, proving fans still have a huge appreciation for the club's roots.

Why it's No. 1: It's the jersey that launched the Warriors and remains one of the greatest rugby league jerseys ever produced.

2. 2001 New Zealand Warriors Retro Jersey

The 2001 season marked a new chapter for the club as they fully embraced the New Zealand Warriors identity.

The jersey itself is clean, simple and timeless. It moved away from some of the louder styling of the late 90s while still keeping the club's famous colours front and centre.

It's one of those jerseys that has aged incredibly well, making it a favourite among supporters who appreciate classic rugby league designs.

Why it's No. 2: A clean retro design that represents the beginning of a new era for the Warriors.

3. 2002 New Zealand Warriors Jersey

If you're talking about memorable Warriors seasons, you can't go past 2002.

The Warriors claimed their first minor premiership and reached the club's maiden Grand Final, playing an exciting brand of football that won fans right across Australia and New Zealand.

For many supporters, this jersey instantly brings back memories of Stacey Jones, Ali Lauiti'iti, Brent Webb and one of the greatest teams the club has ever assembled.

The design itself stayed true to the Warriors' traditional colours while embracing the sharper look that defined early-2000s rugby league.

Why it's No. 3: It represents the most successful season in Warriors history and one of the club's greatest teams.

4. 2019 25th Anniversary Jersey

Anniversary jerseys are always popular, and the Warriors absolutely nailed theirs.

Released to celebrate 25 years in the NRL, the 2019 Anniversary Jersey paid tribute to the club's Auckland Warriors beginnings while still feeling fresh and modern.

Drawing inspiration from the original colours and early club identity, it struck the perfect balance between nostalgia and performance.

Limited-edition jerseys like this quickly become collector's items, and this one is no exception.

Why it's No. 4: A brilliant celebration of the club's first 25 years and a fantastic blend of old and new.

5. 2026 New Zealand Warriors Home Jersey

Rounding out our list is the latest addition to the Warriors jersey collection.

The 2026 New Zealand Warriors Home Jersey is one of the strongest modern designs we've seen from the club. Featuring a contemporary chevron pattern through the sleeves while retaining the Warriors' iconic colour palette, it's instantly recognisable without trying to reinvent the wheel.

The inclusion of the famous tiki logo ensures the jersey stays true to the club's identity, making it a fantastic option for supporters looking to wear the latest officially licensed Warriors kit.

If you're after the current range, you'll also find the 2026 Away Jersey available at Jerseys Megastore.

Why it's No. 5: A modern jersey that respects the club's history while looking right at home in today's NRL.

Honourable Mention – 2026 Warriors Te Taiao Jersey

It just misses our Top 5, but the 2026 Warriors Te Taiao Jersey deserves a special mention.

Inspired by the natural environment of Aotearoa, the 2026 New Zealand Warriors Te Taiao Jersey is a tribute to the land, waters, and living ecosystems that shape who we are. Drawing influence from the maunga, ngahere, awa, and moana, the design reflects the deep connection between people and place, celebrating the unique landscapes that unite communities across New Zealand.
