1. 2017

A sleek, modern design that nails the question previous designs have grappled with since the club’s inception: how much gold trim is too much? In 2017 the Titans got it perfect.

2. 2011

A personal favourite, 2011 marked an evolution in Titans kit with the adoption of coloured pants over the classic white. The optical illusion enhanced the brilliant pacific blue of the jersey for a memorable look.

3. 2012

A step behind the 2011 edition because the navy chest panel appeared more black than dark blue.

4. 2016

The precursor to the Bulletin’s top ranked design, the 2016 edition is marred only by the super-dark navy trim down the jersey’s sides, creating a clunky geometric effect.

5. 2009

They’re dated now but the 2007-09 run of Titans jerseys hold pleasant memories of a team heading for the top of the NRL.

6. 2008

Round 13 NRL Gold Coast Titans vs Melbourne Storm at Skilled Park in Robina : Ben Jeffery scores a great solo try.

The 2008 jerseys are marked a fraction behind the 2009 version because the clumping together of logos on the chest are a touch too busy.

7. 2010

NRL Finals series 1st weekend of Semi-Finals match's. Gold Coast Titans Vs New Zealand Warriors from Skilled Park - Pictured are Ashley Harrison, Anthony Laffranchi and Nathan Friend

A brave departure from the team’s original design, the 2010 jersey was a beauty but eclipsed by stronger efforts in later years.

8. 2018

It’s eyecatching, with brilliant hues heightened by contrast with the logo of sponsors TFH. Ultimately the 2018 design was a touch too understated for our taste. The plain blue of the lower half misses the design flair of previous editions.

9. 2007

01 Apr 2006 : Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans @ Telstra Stadium : Titans' Scott Prince : PicPhil/Hillyard - sport rugby league NRL action

The original jersey from 2007 set the benchmark for what the Titans jersey should represent. It seems harsh to rank it middle of the table but the design was exclipsed for future versions.

10. 2013

This lighter shade of blue never captured attention like the sharper aqua tones did before it.

If the Titans go on to win their maiden NRL Premiership this year the all-navy affair might rise higher in our collective estimation. The Titans have never been a navy-primary team and the departure from traditional beachy blues will take getting used to.

Where did the orange come from? Sponsor neds will be pleased but this jersey’s ‘burnt gold’ is a regression from the brilliant golden trim of the 2016-18 years.

13. 2014

The blue was better in 2014 but the gold on the chest came across more like a drab yellow.

A step backwards in colour and no attempt to fix the dullness of the gold on the chest. This 2015 jersey was rock bottom for the Titans.
