The NRL are embarking on another Indigenous Round and one of the major highlights of the weekend are the jersey every club releases from their individual designs.
Every year the jersey designs seem to get better and they are always popular among fans.
2021 was no exception with some of this year's drops standing tall with the best ever designs.
Melbourne Storm
The Melbourne Storm jersey was designed by Krstel Petrevski and will be worn on two occasions. Melbourne will wear the predominantly white strip in Rounds 12 and 20.
A statement from the Storm explained the details in the jersey.
"The art on the front panel is in the shape of the state of Victoria (turned sideways). The circles represent the QLD bubble from the 2020 season and AAMI Park and the people that play their part โ players, staff, family and members. This all represents the journey home.
"The circles are joined by lines which represent the many cultures that link together in making up the Melbourne Storm. A curved purple line represents the Yarra River and how it runs through the city of Melbourne.
"Footprints represent the journey a player takes from joining the club to leaving as a better person.ย The handprint represents the 5 values of the club: family, accountability, hard work, respect and passion.
"Melbourne Storm past and present Indigenous players are listed on the lower back. Pattern on the lower right back panel represents all the other cultures to have represented the Storm to show inclusivity."
Most of the jerseys look really good, and I think the Sea Eagles, Broncos and Eels designs look the best IMO. The only one I didn’t like was the Cowboys. That huge Toyota logo spoils what would otherwise have been a beauty!
