Inspired by @Mero’s fantastic website www.footyjumpers.com, this thread shall illustrate the jerseys worn in the NRL from its foundation in 1908 to 2006 and (probably, eventually) beyond.
Unless otherwise specified, the jersey/uniform in each image was worn in every match in the years stated.
League-wide changes:
1915 – Number panels introduced no later than this year
1940s – Wartime restrictions result in all teams altering their designs
1950s – Teams begin to sew their emblem on their jerseys’ left breast
1975–76 – ¾ length and/or ½ length sleeves adopted by all teams
1978 – Most teams update their emblem into logos
Logos:
1983–84 – NSWRFL
1984–94 – NSWRL
1995–97 – ARL / Super League
1998–2001 – NRL
2002–06 – NRL Telstra Premiership
