NSW BLUES STATE OF ORIGIN 2005 RETRO JERSEY
For NSW fans, 2005 is a jersey worth treasuring. It was the Blues' third consecutive series victory, with nobody knowing it at the time, but those who wore this jersey that year were celebrating the end of an era.
The series itself was a classic. Game I went to golden point in Brisbane, with Matt Bowen intercepting a Brett Kimmorley pass in extra time to steal it for Queensland. Game II saw Andrew Johns return from injury to take control at Telstra Stadium and level the series. Then came the decider, winger Matt King scored a hat-trick as NSW raced to a 32-0 lead in Game III, with Anthony Minichiello claiming Player of the Series. It was a statement win on Queensland's home turf.
This jersey also carries something no other jersey in the range has - an embroidered "25 Years" series logo, marking State of Origin's silver anniversary. It's a genuine collector's piece, not just a retro jersey.
