PARRAMATTA EELS 2001 NRL RETRO JERSEY
The 2001 season was nothing short of dominant for the Parramatta Eels, often hailed as one of the most formidable teams in rugby league history. The season was almost a perfect season for the club, with the team setting a regular season points scoring record in the premiership by scoring 839 points in 26 matches as well as a record for the most tries (159) and the most points (943) scored by a team in a regular season. With this incredible performance, the Eels went on to claim the minor premiership, entering their fifth consecutive finals series and dominating their way to their first grand final in fifteen years. Unfortunately, in a dramatic twist, the Eels suffered a heartbreaking defeat, losing to the Newcastle Knights. Despite entering halftime trailing 24-0, the Eels rallied in the second half but ultimately fell short, losing the match 30-24. The 2001 jersey encapsulates the club’s identity, featuring the renowned bright yellow and blue colours that have become synonymous with the eels. The design is accented with white detailing, showcasing a simplistic yes effective design that resonated with fans and players alike. This season, with its mix of triumphs and heartbreak, remains a pivotal chapter in the history of the Parramatta Eels, reflecting both their exceptional talent and their unwavering determination.
