Aligning with the Club’s 25 Year Celebrations, for the first home game of the 2023 season, the Melbourne Storm squad will don the new heritage jersey.
Day one Storm fans will have a sense of familiarity, with the design based on the jersey the inaugural 1998 Storm team wore for the first-ever home game at Olympic Park, against North Sydney Bears.
With iconic styling, the jersey features a deep V for Victoria, alongside the return of the iconic yellow collar.
Players will also pay their respects to the first team, with the jerseys worn against the Bulldogs carrying the name of the player who wore the same number back in 1998.
