Raiders reveal their Centenary jersey

its a one off to celebrate the centenary of Canberra, has nothing to do with the Raiders history and thus reflects the colours of the ACT and the original league side in the region.

I can see your point, but the C100 celebrations are for an entire century of Canberra, and the Raiders form a significant part of that history as our first and only top-grade league team. This should have been reflected on the jersey alongside local and rep foundation teams. The design they’ve come up with provides no visual context or explanation and will probably confuse anyone who hasn’t read the back story.

I can already see the hashtag #canberramatta getting a workout on game day.

Then again I still don’t like the predominantly white Brumbies uniform, the old blue and yellow Canberra Kookaburras jersey was perfectly fine!

I would like to see Robyn Archer decked out in the new gear leading the Raiders onto the field on the big day.
I reckon she would get a real buzz.

According to WIN, the socks are to be voted upon by Raiders fans, as part of the centenary uniform.

What’s with the socks? Are they meant to be all different or have some of the players put them on backwards? (I know, I know, but they are league players so you never know)

And, yes, why have they moved away from the green – even their usual uniform isnt very green nowdays

I think the Brumbies’ new socks are far more fetching, and less confusing:

I think you’ll find one set are for home and the other away as demonstrated by the two sets of shorts.

But they are only wearing the uniform for one match (at home)…

Have the Raiders been taken over by the Eels? The Blue Machine doesn’t sound quite right.

Giving Josh Papalii a little taste of what he has forgone?

The V could have been more bolder and lifted higher up the jumper.

It’s not a V, it’s an arrow of sorts pointing to their favourite play thing…

well it looks like they have a flower bouquet from Floriade on their jumper.
