The Broncos released their new home jersey on Wednesday, and it's fair to say the design has fallen flat among some fans.
Set to be worn for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, the Asics design is a "modern twist on the 2000 Grand Final jersey".
The jersey is also identically designed for both the NRL and NRLW sides for the first time in the club's history.
However, despite the happy memories from their premiership triumph 25 years ago, Brisbane supporters were less than impressed by the kit.
A nod to our 2000 Premiership winning kit 25 years on 🐎

Their 2000 grand final jersey notably featured a large chunk of gold colouring, while the new design is primarily maroon.
One X user described the shirt as "possibly their worst jersey in a decade".
Fans also likened the jersey to sportswear sold at discount retail outlets Big W and Best&Less.
Take a look at some of the reactions on social media below:
the broncos insistence on going all in on maroon rather than a much better balance with yellow and white is forever baffling. this is possibly their worst jersey in a decade. https://t.co/4u0ruu4BHI

Probably the worst NRL jersey drop so far. Not enough gold, not even close. This is a Big W version of a QLD jersey. pic.twitter.com/O2hhIabi0l

Can you not just give us a home jersey that represents the Broncos, keep the experimental jerseys for the alternative jerseys

We need to stick and pick with a home jersey like the Roosters and Rabbitohs do pic.twitter.com/iXcX2LazVq
Is this the best and less version?

2027 can’t come quick enough, cos this is baaaad. Easily one of the worst Home & Away combos in the comp.
