“PANTHERS TURN BACK CLOCK WITH 2004-2007 CLASSIC JERSEY REVIVAL FOR 60TH NRL SEASON”
Penrith Panthers have announced a nostalgic tribute to their recent glory days, revealing they will revive the iconic 2004-2007 home jersey as part of their playing strip options for the upcoming 60th NRL season – a move set to delight long-time fans and connect the current dynasty to its historic roots.
Unveiled today as the 2026 Heritage Jersey, the design draws direct inspiration from the strip the side wore in the years following their memorable 2003 Premiership success – a period that marked a pivotal chapter in the club’s journey. For supporters who witnessed those post-title seasons, the jersey will serve as a powerful reminder of the team’s resilience and ambition in the wake of their third grand final victory.
The most striking feature of the revived jersey is its return to teal green and white – colours that have been absent from Penrith’s current main playing strip, offering a fresh yet familiar look that stands out from their modern kit. The club has confirmed the heritage jersey will make its on-field debut in Round 4, when the Panthers take on Parramatta at CommBank Stadium – a high-stakes clash that will add extra significance to the historic strip’s return.
As the Panthers prepare to celebrate six decades in the NRL, the jersey revival forms part of a broader plan to honour the club’s rich history while building on its current dominance. In recent years, Penrith has established itself as one of the competition’s most formidable forces, but the return of the 2004-2007 design ensures the next generation of players and fans will connect with the moments that laid the groundwork for today’s success.
The announcement has already sparked excitement across the Panthers’ fan base, with social media abuzz with memories of the 2003 premiership era and anticipation for the Round 4 reveal. For a club that prides itself on bridging past and present, the heritage jersey is more than just a strip – it’s a tribute to the players, fans and moments that have shaped the Penrith Panthers into the powerhouse they are today.
