ILLAWARRA STEELERS 1997 NRL RETRO JERSEY
The Illawarra Steelers’ 1997 season was a turbulent season for the club, marked by the departure of several experienced players at the end of the previous season. This left lots of inexperienced juniors to come together and try to success against other more formidable clubs. Despite these challenges, the team managed to secure 10 wins, 3 draws and faced 10 losses, finishing in 6th place and just scraping their way into the finals. Unfortunately, the Steelers postseason run was short-lived, as they lost 25-14 to the Gold Coast Chargers in the first week of the finals. The 1997 Away jersey reflects the club’s identity, featuring a predominantly white design with horizontal red stripes across the stomach. The iconic BHP Steelers logo adorns the chest, complemented by a striking red collar. This jersey serves as a reminder of a season filled with both challenges and determination, showcasing the spirit of the Steelers as they navigated a year of transition.
