adidas Sydney Roosters NRL Heritage Replica Jersey

The Sydney Roosters 2026 NRL Men's Heritage Jersey celebrates one of the most influential moments in Rugby League history. Created for Roosters supporters, collectors and league fans, this official heritage jersey faithfully recreates the iconic 1976 design while incorporating modern performance materials for everyday comfort.

Perfect for game day, collecting or casual wear, this jersey honours the club's rich history while recognising the innovation that helped shape professional sport in Australia.

Celebrating a Landmark Moment in Rugby League

The 2026 Heritage Jersey marks the 50th anniversary of the 1976 season when Nick Politis AM introduced City Ford as the first commercial sponsor to appear on the front of a playing jersey in Australian sport. The original jersey debuted during the inaugural World Club Challenge, where the Sydney Roosters defeated St Helens 25–2 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

That historic victory launched the World Club Challenge, with the Roosters becoming the competition's most successful club, winning five championship titles. The 2026 Heritage Edition recreates the original jersey design, complete with the club's heritage logo and retro inspired sponsor branding that pays tribute to this significant chapter in Rugby League history.

The jersey features a textured sport knit fabric with moisture wicking technology to help keep you comfortable on game day or during everyday wear. Embroidered Sydney Roosters and NRL logos provide an authentic finish, while the sublimated design captures the look of the original 1976 jersey.

This is the official jersey the Sydney Roosters will wear against the Parramatta Eels in Round 19 on Saturday, 11 July, at Allianz Stadium.
