Discussion Jumpers That Never Were

[Saint Mick]

BLK must have let some of these get out because I managed to buy both Saints guernseys off eBay in 2017 for about $50 each, and weirdly enough I was able to buy training gear off a UK website on the cheap. I've got about ten items from the BLK range including caps, always on the lookout for more but the chances of finding any of it are slim.

Here's album of those 2017 BLK guernseys. Most pics are from when onsport sold them for like one week back in Nov 2016.

Not sure if this has been posted already. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2020 Jersey with restaurant chain Rashays front and center on the jersey. Rashays pulled out before the announcement due to a scandal involving one of the Bulldog's players. Best image I could find unfortunately

South Sydney 2020 ANZAC jersey

Context behind it from the Facebook post that I was unable to copy across for some reason;

A few years ago there were some rumors floating around about an ANZAC jersey from Souths that was a bit out there, but then that thing happened and we all lost 2 years of our lives.

This is that infamous never to be released 2020 Rabbitohs ANZAC jersey that was due to be worn against Canberra, but did not happen due to games being postponed.

Fan versions of these jerseys were produced, but ISC cancelled all orders from retailers and destroyed them all leaving only a limited number of player jerseys remaining with the club.

In 2021 the club would go with blue again for the ANZAC jersey, albeit in a much lighter shade which led to a fair bit of discussion online both positive and negative.

I'm guessing the woke brigade had a fair bit to say about it

NRL season was suspended over ANZAC Round in 2020 - we went back to the blue concept in 2021 with our RAAF tribute.

I've got so many NRL jerseys that never were. Eventually I'll be in the position to share some of these.

Damn leftists and their (looks at notes) tasteful and subtle preference for ANZAC commemorations and not making everything into a moneygrab

"Cancel the southern cross jersey"

 

[its been done]

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs had 3, yes 3 jerseys that weren't used in 2018

This one was meant to be their away jersey but was replaced with their heritage

This one was meant for the 9s that got cancelled because of the shortened pre-season due to the World Cup in the previous year. It was meant to be worn against Parramatta during the season as an alternate, but it wasn't ready from the drycleaners in time

And finally we have this which was meant to be the Dogs of War jersey

I thought they made a home and a clash variant?

I thought they made a home and a clash variant?

The men's teams wore a home blue variant (which didn't have the yellow panel at the top), women's team only had the yellow.

This popped up on to my FB. A 1994 Fremantle prototype:

 

[Heardy_101]

I saw that as well. I'm led to believe it's a replica.

 

[And_ROOS]

Half and half chevrons might not be the worst design if done properly.

 

[Freight Train]

I saw that as well. I'm led to believe it's a replica.

How so?

2022 Canberra Raiders away jersey, another NRL jersey that was never used (it was used twice in 2021 but with a different front sponsor)

 

[Heardy_101]

How so?

I could be wrong, but I thought I read that the bloke had it made up as the original is long gone.

don't think this ever got posted in here, photo I found in a thread from few years back, PBs was never worn with OAK as sponsor
