Queensland Maroons 1996 State of Origin Retro Jersey
The Queensland Maroons 1996 State of Origin Retro Jersey is a classic rugby league jersey made for fans who want that traditional Origin look and feel. It suits match day wear, clubrooms, or casual use, especially during the NRL season in New Zealand. This is a heritage piece built for comfort and durability rather than modern on-field performance.
The cotton and polyester blend gives a softer, heavier feel compared to current playing jerseys. It sits well on the body and holds its shape over time, making it reliable for regular wear. The knitted construction adds structure, so it doesn’t feel flimsy like lighter training tops.
Fit is generous through the chest and shoulders. Most people will want to size down for a more standard fit, especially if wearing it out rather than layering. The button up cotton drill collar and embroidered patches give it that proper 90s Origin look that stands apart from modern kits.

Fit & Use
