The Wait is almost over
From 9am (AWST) on Saturday 8 August, supporters can purchase the inaugural Perth Bears home jersey and own a piece of Club history.
As we count down to our entry into the NRL in 2027, this jersey represents where we’ve come from, where we’re headed and the thousands of Bears supporters who will wear the red and black with pride.
Here’s everything you need to know before launch day.
The Story Behind the Jersey
Our inaugural home jersey honours more than a century of North Sydney Bears history while marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Perth Bears.
Inspired by the rich heritage of one of rugby league’s most iconic clubs, the jersey has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate our past while embracing our future in Western Australia. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a jersey that reflects the pride, passion and legacy of the Bears as we prepare for our inaugural NRL season in 2027.
This is more than a jersey. It’s the first chapter of a new era for the Perth Bears.

- Men’s: Small-7XL
