The striking 2024 Defence Jersey pays homage to the 110th anniversary of the reformation of the Australian Army’s 3rd Brigade, reformed in 1914 for service during World War I, taking the first steps ashore in the battle at Gallipoli.
Featuring a distinct earthy tone, the jersey depicts Australian Army soldiers from 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment during Exercise Brolga Run 23, conducting an assault on the enemy main defensive position. With an artistic treatment across the imagery, the jersey is designed to represent the contribution of each and every soldier.
Sitting proudly on the jersey’s neckline is the 3rd Brigade emblem, signifying the strong ties between the Australian Army’s 3rd Brigade and the North Queensland community, with the Brigade based at Townsville’s Lavarack Barracks, comprising more than 4,000 personnel.
‘First Ashore’ is adorned on the back of the jersey, taken from the 3rd Brigade’s emblem, commemorating the significant role of the 3rd Brigade in the battle at Gallipoli. It was 4.18am on Sunday, April 25, 1915 when Army's 3rd Brigade landed on the shore of what is now named Anzac Cove in Gallipoli.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Our North Queensland Cowboys 2024 Mens Defence Jersey is a premium supporter-version replica (commonly known as "Thai Quality") designed for ultimate comfort, durability, and daily wear. While on-field player versions feature an extremely tight, body-hugging fit with rubberized grip panels, our North Queensland Cowboys 2024 Mens Defence Jersey offers a comfortable, relaxed fit with highly detailed embroidered team crests and fully sublimated sponsor logos. It is the perfect choice for cheering in the stands or wearing to the pub in International.
A: Rugby, AFL, and NBL jerseys are traditionally designed with a slightly roomier, more robust cut to allow for easy movement and layering. For our standard supporter-cut North Queensland Cowboys 2024 Mens Defence Jersey, we recommend ordering your standard clothing size. However, if you prefer a modern, snugger "pro-player style" fit for match days in International, you may consider ordering one size down. Please consult our precise [Size Guide] on this page before securing your kit.
A: To ensure maximum durability on and off the field, all core team crests (such as the Silver Fern, NRL club logos, or Wallabies badges) on your North Queensland Cowboys 2024 Mens Defence Jersey are meticulously embroidered. Major sponsors and jersey patterns are applied using advanced sublimation printing, which fuses the ink directly into the fabric fibers. This guarantees that your kit won't crack, peel, or fade, even after intense matches or multiple washes in International.
A: To keep your North Queensland Cowboys 2024 Mens Defence Jersey in pristine condition for every game day, we highly recommend washing it inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, which can weaken the performance fabrics. Line drying is strongly recommended; do not tumble dry or iron directly over any vinyl detailing. This will keep your classic rugby or AFL kit looking sharp for years in International.
