Jerseys
[edit]In November 2023, Melbourne Storm announced a new sponsorship and apparel partnership agreement with Irish sportswear company O'Neills.[10]
- Home
As part of the NRL's two year jersey cycle, the 2025 home jersey is the same as the 2024 version originally revealed in November 2023.[11] The jersey is navy blue with a purple yoke and sleeves. There are bright yellow lightning bolt designs on the side panels, and a revised Big V logo at the top of the rear of the jersey as a continuation of the Our Home, Victoria acknowledgment which began during the 2020 season to honour Storm's home state. This jersey will be worn with navy blue shorts and socks.
- Away
As with the home jersy, the away jersey is the same as what was worn during the 2024 season. It is worn when the home jersey creates a clash with the opposition, and is a similar design to the home jersey, with white replacing the navy blue base colour. This jersey is worn with purple shorts, with white socks.
Junior Representatives
[edit]The club entered teams in the 2025 New South Wales Rugby League junior representative competitions with the following coaching staff:
- Jersey Flegg Cup (Under-21s): Mark Russell (coach), Nate Myles (assistant)
- S.G. Ball Cup (Under-19s): Matt Duffie (coach), Justin O'Neill (assistant)
- Harold Matthews Cup (Under-17s): Tony Adam (coach)
The club's academy program had Tim Auremi as Pathways Operations Manager and Dean Benton as Pathways Performance Manager.[9]
