Day 18!
Today we have a 1983 Reserve Grade Wests jumper and this kit ticks a lot of my boxes
NSWRFL logo ✅
Stupidly tiny Wests logo for some reason ✅
Stitched on number box ✅
not ruined by godawful sponsors ✅
Honestly, pretty much the perfect kit all round.
this is also around the time period where some teams moved away from grade numbers, and wore 1-13 in each grade with higher numbers being used for reserves and the like making trying to track down who possibly wore things a nightmare
How has it taken me 18 days to realise the numbers on the back match?
bruh
I know right? It’s been a long year I need a holiday lol

song of the day
Was the stitched on number box common ?
More wondering if it could have a different number under it
number boxes were pretty common up until around the 60s, but then stuff started getting put directly to the kit.
no evidence of another number under this one sadly
Not enough orange /s
You're sacked from the wests tigers board
Like Barry Ofarrell, and Jesus before him, I'll be back in around 3 days
Not to get into the whole "Wests Tigers" of it all, but the merged club have never put out a jersey that comes close to looking this good.
honestly, magpie jerseys are elite. they literally never had a bad jersey.
even the fucking weird late 90s triangle kits hit hard
My favourite jersey of all time
Gee I hope someone got fired for that blunder
