Not since top grade rugby league started in Australia in 1908 has a team ever wore a pink jersey in a grand final. But that’s about to change - and it will spark a million-dollar rush from Penrith fans.
They’ve played in the past four grand finals and won three straight titles, but the Panthers will have to do something they haven’t done before in the biggest game of the season – wear a pink jersey.
Minor premiers Melbourne have won the right to wear their traditional purple strip having secured the JJ Giltinan Shield, and Penrith’s first-choice black jersey is considered a clash with the Storm outfit. The Storm were forced to wear their alternate white jersey against the Panthers in the 2020 grand final because Ivan Cleary’s side finished as minor premiers.
