I've been watching the training videos for new merch.

I think most of the 2024 also will be available from the 17th of November.

Just saw the 2024 jersey on Instagram.

When did the Force start playing Rugby League?

That was my first thought on seeing the jersey as well. Maybe it's someone's idea to bring in extra viewers - followers of league can't count above 6, so they may not notice that there are 15 players on the field rather than 13!

Western Force 2024 home and away playing jerseys revealed

The 2024 playing jerseys feature a fresh new design, including an Indigenous design showing the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) and the swirls in the water caused by the Fighting Maali (black swan) which appears on both front and back. The 2024 jerseys also feature a more pronounced chevron on both home and away strips.

The away jersey features the state’s iconic black and gold colour scheme, harking back to Perth/Western Gold and upholding the heritage and tradition of rugby in WA.

Nyoongar artist Darryl Bellotti's design ensures the Force represents WA's proud indigenous heritage.

The jerseys have apparel partner Dynasty Sport’s cutting edge Ecotek fabric, which is made from ethically sourced recycled plastic bottles.

One of the key features is a gel grip Fighting Maali print over the chest. The Fighting Maali represents the fighting spirit of the team – an attacking black swan – and it is a metaphor for the Club’s Sea of Blue fans rising up.

Force acting CEO Niamh O’Connor said: “The 2024 playing jerseys offer a slick design which we feel our fans, the Sea of Blue, will connect with. The feedback from our players about the playing and training wear already has been overwhelmingly positive.

“Seeing the jerseys up close, the subtle layers of the Derbal Yerrigan and the Fighting Maali are a perfect symbol that connects the Force to culture, country and place, representing both the strength of our native First Nations peoples and the fighting spirit of the team.

“We’re proud to wear our state’s traditional black and gold colours on our away jersey, given WA’s long history and connection with the game.”

It seriously gives off Wests Tigers vibes.

Check out the WA NRL jumper. Perhaps with RA chasing leaguies they thought it might be a good idea to have interchangeable jumpers.
What is this obsession with black.

Gotta look pretty hard to see the swan

It’s blocked by the Altrad seagull!

Linked closely with the entirety of the state's rugby history until the Force

There were many upset when the 2006 jersey was released and it wasn't black and gold

I know the WA colours are black and gold but this basically a black jumper with a bit of gold and as I said it is almost identical to the WA rugby league jumper. Have a peep.

Oh, yeah that didn't come through clearly in your post.

I don't mind the design can see the clear similarities between it and lots of RL jerseys, so it's not like the comments are unjustified.

I prefer the black and gold version to the blue and white

My sarcastic side wants to have a dig

But after 2018's heartache I'm very grateful to have a new merch / jersey launch

Onward and upward!

Bloody Mungos. Spoil everything.
