Take a look at the jumper for this weekend's game on the club homepage.
It is the worst football shirt I have ever seen. Ever.

The Sydney Roosters have today launched their ‘Stick With It’ program to be run by schools in the Dubbo area.
The program, funded by the All Stars game from the beginning of the year, will see indigenous kids rewarded for completing three keys areas of the ‘Stick With It’ program.
Each student will be encouraged to complete a weekly log of their reading hours and exercise time as well as a food diary, in line with the NRL’s Eat Well, Play Well, Stay Well message.
For every student that completes the weekly log over the ten week period they will be rewarded with a Sydney Roosters sports pack, while the students who overachieve in the program will be flown to Sydney for a Roosters home game experience.
The program has been designed in conjunction with the NSW Education Department and works with the existing primary school curriculum.
Briony Akle, Sydney Roosters Community Relations Officer, has said that the program aims to benefit the life of each child who participates.
“The ‘Stick With It’ program hopes to teach children the fundamentals of exercise and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle,” she said.
“The students will set goals and learn how to achieve them through a ten week program with activities to complete. We believe that these lessons can benefit their lives and teach them good habits.”
Roosters CEO Steve Noyce has praised the efforts of the club and the game in building these initiatives.
“The All Stars game was great for rugby league and the flow on benefits for the wider community are now beginning to show,” he said.
“The funds are now being used for the benefit of the community and as a club we are proud to launch this initiative during the Close The Gap round.”
All Stars players and Roosters second rower Nate Myles was pleased that the early season rep game had created such a great outcome for the community.
“It was an honour to play in the All Stars game at the beginning of the season and to see that the funds from that game are being put to good use has been fantastic,” said Myles.
“We do so much work with our local community but it is great for the Roosters to have an effect out in the wider community and work with these kids to ensure that through this program, encouraging a healthy lifestyle, we can help Close the Gap between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous communities.”
The program will be rolled out to schools for Term Four and will be further developed into other school communities in 2011.
