36ers Jersey Celebrates '98 Championship

The Adelaide 36ers will celebrate their historic 1998 championship, with a special jersey designed for Heritage Round.

The 36ers will don the white uniforms the club wore in its 90-62 Grand Final game two win against South East Melbourne Magic, sweeping the regular season champions 2-0 in the three-game series.

In the decider, Kevin Brooks knocked down 21 points and Martin Cattalini 20, in front over 8,000 fans at Melbourne Park. 

CEO Nic Barbato will bring back memories of ‘title town’.

“The club is proud to release these jerseys and to bring back the design from the late 90s,” Barbato said.

“The 1998 side broke a 12-year championship drought and the uniform honours its history and brings back many fond memories.

“Round 16 is the league-wide heritage round and it’s a nice touch we will wear the uniforms at home against Melbourne.”
