During the 1990's both South Sydney and Newtown were inexorably linked during a very turbulent time for the code, Newtown successfully finding their feet in the lower echelons of the code with three Metro Cup premierships and Souths with the threat of expulsion from the newly created NRL.
This jersey from 1999 is something that I've never seen of my 25 years of collecting/observing rugby league jerseys, that the sponsors of one club on the jersey of another club. Obviously the Jets were the feeder side to Souths during the 1999 season and these sponsors were exactly the same that was on the Souths NRL jersey for that year.
This is a players jersey from that year and have seen one or two at Henson Park over the years being worn as well that were also players jerseys. Haven't ever seen a supporters version of this jersey, either in the flesh or for sale.
