RLWC2013 posted the Rochdale away shirt on Facebook. It's a Fiji/RLWC2013 themed shirt. I think it looks great:

For me one of the best shirts I have seen in a very long time. I know not everyones cup of tea but I will hopefully be getting one

The NRL is not Superleague.......soccer clubs in the UK don't do it, neither do rah rahs.........why must we also copy the ockers?

You can buy plenty of heritage shirts for football clubs, you can buy a Leeds Utd one from the HMV in Leeds.

You can also buy plenty of heritage shirts for RL. I know for kr you can buy about 4 or 5 different designs from the past. They might not be official but they seem to be good quality

The Heritage Round is not just about flogging shirts (I've always found the NRL to be less commerically savvy than many of our clubs. For example they don't even have squad numbers with players names on their shirts). Its an opportunity for the whole game to celebrate its past in one weekend, focussed on historic fixtures (Wigan v Widnes for example based on their 80s and 90s rivalry) played in one off shirts, often with former player parades and presentations. As a Broncos fan, I would love to see us play Wigan at Craven Cottage as part of such a round.
Its a great concept, as in the Women in League round, but they need some basics in place to work

long term commitment from the whole League
a regular slot in the programme
plenty of notice to prepare!

Unfortunately these are not attributes readily associated with Super League. Remember the recent round supporting mental health? Players wore teeshirts in the warm up and it was announced the week before! Super League On the Road - one year!

The NRL heriage jerseys have the current sponsor on them so no big issue. Would be great to do it in SL, maybe for the derby round over Easter?

Change it to Heritage weekend instead of Magic weekend.
