2018 NRL jerseys: The best, the worst, the most creative and the most original

By SR1 / Roar Pro

So, we know the winner of the premiership. But who are the winners of the title of the best jersey?

You can click here to see every jersey from the 2018 NRL season. Once you have decided on the best, the worst, the most original and the most creative jersey, comment your picks in the section below.

In the meantime however, I reveal my picks:

Best jersey: Penrith Panthers alternate
I like this jersey the most purely because of how clean it is. The Panthers have done extremely well to contrast the background white and the black Panthers logo and then spiced it up with a three-colour combination which really adds character to the jersey.

Worst jersey: Manly Sea Eagles women in league
What on earth have Manly done here? Pink and Brown? As Phil Gould would say, “No, No, No, No, No, No, No!”

Most Original Jersey: Sydney Roosters Heritage
You can’t get much more original than this. It’s been around for so long that it’s practically the definition of original.

Most Creative Jersey: Melbourne Storm Indigenous
I really do admire how the Storm have managed to incorporate their own colours in an indigenous way. It also has some smooth, modern patterns all around the jersey.

yep i agree, the simple designs of the Dragons, Rabbitohs, Roosters, Bulldogs and Eels jerseys are usually the best. Raiders and Knights home jerseys are pretty good aswell. The 3 QLD teams generally have the worst in my opinion.

The horns on the front of the Cowboys' top: just proud enough, just discreet enough. If the price weren't about $130 too high, I'da bought one to ship here to Canada!

Jerseys should be as clean as possible, in terms of colour clashes, sponsorships which blend well. Panthers haven’t had this ever

Me too. As long as it isn’t the Wolverine claw marks jersey. I do like the blood and bandages style jersey as well

Even with many teams having a decent jersey range, I think they should be limited to only releasing 3 per year. Talk about overkill (except for the Gold Coast, ha!)

I agree Adam, the Dragons should move back to the Steelers version for our alternate as this year's was ordinary.

I think all the ANZAC jerseys look great, although I do hope the NRL and the clubs direct the proceeds towards the RSL or something like that. The Titans jerseys are absolutely terrible, just yuk! I think the Warriors really failed with the indigenous jerseys this year, prior years were much better. Most clubs have a good indigenous top. Tigers used to have the best jerseys with the predominant orange and black V, but these days their efforts are pretty average. Overall the Roosters should be the happiest with their range of jerseys, they are all top notch.

I'm a dragons fan and I think our away jersey this year was pretty ordinary, as was the one in 2017. Going back to mid 2000s we had a jersey that was basically the Steelers one which worked well as did the blood and bandages look.

The Tigers and Eels indigenous jerseys were pretty good. Bulldogs heritage is the best.
