In addition to the 2015 jerseys they released back in October, NRL club Wests Tigers have now unveiled two more kits for the new season- jumpers for the 2015 Auckland Nines tournament. Made by ISC, the new 9’s uniforms were officially unveiled on 9th December, 2014 by the club.
Tigers have a main black 9’s jersey plus an orange alternate jersey. They’re not really “jerseys” as can you seen in the pics below, more like an AFL jumper/singlet/guernsey, which means they’ve gone the same way for the AKL 9’s as Storm.
The Tigers have been grouped with the NZ Warriors, Canberra Raiders and Gold Coast Titans at the 2015 Nines tournament. They will wear the black jersey against the Raiders and the Titans while the orange one will get a run out against the Warriors.
Both jerseys will however be paired with black shorts and socks.

This is crazy, no other words for it.
They must be wearing something along with it, or we’ll be seeing plenty of grazed shoulders.
How can the NRL even allow this?
The collar is exactly the same style as that worn by ISC’s AFL teams, plus SANFL’s Port Adelaide.
As for the inane grazed shoulders comment. These guernseys are being used for a 9’s competition – a short form of the game. Not the full NRL season.
I’m sure the Tigers and Storm have considered the effects of using this style of jersey/jumper/guernsey.
