Magic Round is a fascinating opportunity for fans to engage in jersey-spotting.
The four-day rugby league spectacle at Lang Park attracts the sport's most dedicated followers, and nothing showcases your passion like sporting the most unusual kit you can find.
From obscure one-off designs like the Canterbury Bulldogs Star Wars jersey to outdated World Sevens or Auckland Nines eyesores that have surprisingly made a comeback, Magic Round is a visual feast.
To truly stand out, ditch the traditional jerseys from Australia or New Zealand in favor of unique choices like Jamaica's Reggae Warriors or the Philippines's Tamaraw.
However, nothing captures the essence of nostalgia quite like jerseys from defunct clubs, reigniting a form of addiction for true fans.
Once coveted, jerseys from the Western Reds and South Queensland Crushers, with their faded sponsors and oversized collars, have become increasingly popular, prompting some clever vendors to recreate them.
Unfortunately, the Hunter Mariners haven't enjoyed the same revival, yet their blue and yellow jerseys remain a rare gem at Magic Round.
In fact, one has only been seen once, worn by someone whose father played for the Mariners, complete with a cracked name and number as evidence.
Thus, Magic Round serves as the perfect occasion for Gold Coast to unveil an exciting jersey revival, as the Titans are set to debut a replica of the 1996 Gold Coast Chargers design that appears like a throwback to the pre-Y2K era.
