You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from Newstalk ZEDB gay.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Ed at Mount Smart, Go Media, Mount Smart. This evening,
six o'clock Warriors Raiders. The Warriors can go joint top
of the table with a win tonight, which would be
their sixth on the trot. The first thing you'll notice
when the Warriors run out tonight is their playing strip.
They're going to wear these specially designed Deer Warrior jersey.
(00:33):
It's a tribute to the paths taken by players, staff
members and fans who find their way into the Warriors funo,
acknowledging the fact that everybody's journey to the jersey is
different now. The jersey sold out in just nine minutes
at last week's launch and was designed by former Warrior
Number one five to one turned fashion entrepreneur Louis Brown
(00:56):
and Mandery looks at the Tiline Manuate.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
With the super from the Law Body His Hell played
Back to Last Long Girls Running Back, and then gets
the past to Johnson Johnson's still Going dubs.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The score Warriors with a final Sean Johnson take a
Great Memories from twenty eleven. Louis Brown is in studio
with us. Great to see Eloie congrants on the jersey. Mate,
it looks absolutely superb. How did you come up with
a design?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Thanks for having me Jason, and and thank you for
the kind words.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, it sort of goes back to when I was
an eight year old Jason received a received the letter
in the mail and from the from the Warriors called
Dear Warrior. This was a ninety four obviously before the
team had actually entered the competition. So you know, at
the age I wanted to become a professional rugby league player.
So to be able to get letter that day and
(01:59):
maybe Phily made me feel real.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Connected to the club.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
And and and then that's where the dream sort of became,
you know, sort of become from there become to become
a Warrior. And obviously in two thousand and nine I
got to represent the club and and you know go
on to play eighty four games. But to be able
to come back to the club in a different way
and to be able to do this Warrior, this this jersey,
this special jursey called Deer Warrior, and and kind of
you know, kind of tell the story of a young
(02:23):
boy wanting to become become a Warrior and going on
a path from from the grassroots rugby league, you know, Arena.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
It's an amazing story.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
So I'm really really thankful for the club and to
get reconnected to the game but also reconnected to the club.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I can't wait for the boys to run out tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Brilliant. So when you're designing a jersey, man, that seems
like a big job to me. You know, you talked
about the connection and what you wanted to portray through
the jersey, but what is the process in physically designing it?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
It was basically I met up with the club and
obviously Dynasty, Tyler from Dynasty they'd be massive as well
for help for me, and we got together and well,
first of all, it was going to be a Vegas jersey,
and then it was going to get well, then it
looked like it was going to be a Cristis jumper.
Then basically Tyler and the Warriors said to me, listen,
we're going to give it the keys to the car,
just to basically do your own jersey. So I wanted
(03:15):
to go off and do a process and and sort
of like dive back into any references that I had
that could basically represent this Josey could be the core
of this jumper, and I thought, no better, What better
way to do it then through a letter that I
received as a young eight year old and then you know,
to be able to dive back into a full circle moment.
So the process was really exciting to be honest with
(03:36):
did but you know, to sort of come up for
color scheme that I did. I know that it wasn't
going to please everyone, but my favorite jersey that I
played and was the Eden Park jersey. So to be
able to dive back into that and then also to
also make it black because of you know, my heritage
runs back to the Chatham Islands and obviously the black
robin was close to extinction extinction in the eighties and
(03:57):
my grandfather, who got me into rugby league, really spoke
about that and the versus their face and then in
the in the two thousands that found itself with three hundred.
So the black represents obviously the adversity and and you know,
the tough roads and the ebbs and flows of a
journey of going towards the dream and a pathway and
you know, so to be able to do the process
(04:17):
and then also put the jersey on the grip and
then slowly, you know, put the light gray through it.
What represents the pathways of not just only grassroots rugby
league rugby league players, but also the people that work
in the canteen, the people that you work at the
park on a Saturday that turn up for trainings, the
parents that have been on the journey with the young
kids that have gone on to live their dream. So
I'm really excited about the jersey. We're looking for a
(04:39):
blackout tonight in the stadium and to see the boys
run out in it. It's going to be truly special
and it's going to be obviously a full circle moment
and a dream come true.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Jayson outstanding, Louis as you as you're designing it, you know,
and because I mean, I'm sure you have sort of
different drafts and different sort of ideas, And do you
have people you show your early designs too, even some
of the players to get their reaction or is it
really just you?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
This time, I had a small crew of just me
and my colleague from Earl's collection that's my clothing and
the brand that I own, and and we sort of
just come up with a concept and kind of kept
it close to our chest, and you know then we
obviously did a warm up jersey as well, so like
that was that was the fun part of it that
I based that off my one of my favorite jerseys
(05:25):
as a kid, and that's the ninety seven the Warriors jersey.
So you know, to be able to do that and
sort of come up with yourself and kind of test
yourself at the same time and see the growth that
you can you can take through that process, it's pretty special.
But I think to be able to get it sold
out in nine minutes and just the reception that it's
had around the jersey, that's.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Kind of the cherry on top.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
And then you know they have the hopefully the boys
can get the two points tonight and it'll make it
a super super special and an event for not just
myself but the club. You know, they bringing back an
old boy and putting faith in them to be able
to execute a nice piece of art. And you know
that's what this jersey, I feel like is is a
piece of art, you know what I mean. So full
credit to the club as well, and we're breaking down barriers.
(06:08):
Is the first time that that ex player has come
back to a certain club, and and and and created
an actual jumper for them for their their first grade
team to play.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
How did the move into fashion after your playing days
come about.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, I've always been into fashion, into shoes, and I
promise myself that, you know, if I could live one dream,
why can't I live another? And so I just applied
myself through myself and the deep in you know, sometimes
it's the best way to do it. You have a
single you swim and I swam for life, mate. So
you know, six six years, six years later, it's going well,
and you know, to be able to, you know, live
(06:42):
one career, you know, a totally different one in sport,
and then be able to sort of go off and
do a passion that has always been like a massive
passion of mine. It's sort of like the same process
as regular league, but I'm finding myself doing it at
a later lotter time and later later stage in my life.
So really enjoying it, really enjoying growing as a human
and learning so much about myself and and learning more
(07:05):
than who Louis Brown is. Without rugby league.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You played eighty four games for the Warriors twenty and
nine to twenty twelve, let's talk about Louis Brown, the
rugby league player. How fondly do you remember your days
on a Warrior's jersey?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Oh, mate, that was that's home for me. That will
like you know, obviously go meet his damn mount Smart.
It'll always be home for me. Made and you know,
to to present the jersey this week to the boys
and go back there, and it just I felt like
a young twenty one year old agame walking through those doors.
And you know, even to see Stace, Stacy Jones, who
is my idol. He's on the coaching staff and I
(07:38):
was fortunate enough to play with Stace and to see
him there and see some of the old staff they're
still and the way the club is at the moment,
the way the boys are playing, it was really really
special when.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
It was such a special club.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
To me, and I'm so thankful for them to be
able to, you know, reconnect me to the game, but
to be able to reconnect to the game through the
club that I love the most and a cool family,
it's a truly special moment.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Of course, your time there, well, during your time there,
the wonderful twenty eleven season when the Warriors made the
Grand Final, can I ask you about the Grand Final
qualifier against the Storm in Melbourne. You scored a try
which was just allowed for a knock on, then scored
one which did count Sean Johnson's dazzling footwork setting it up.
How special a try and a day was that for you?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So special?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Like you know, anytime you can get, you go into
a game as a pure, pure underdog, like no one
gave us a hope in hell that day, like we were.
We were basically beat. It was really going to be
a manly Melbourne final. You know, obviously the Broncos had
played the night before against Manly and it was really
going to be a manly Melbourne final. So to be
able to go down there and spoil the party and
(08:46):
and just basically catch the ball of Sean and put
it down. He did all the fancy work. But it
was special, mate, Like you know, to play in a
Grand Final. I always thought I'd go back there again,
but you don't. That's the stir the reality of sports sometimes.
But you know, I always thank Sean because you know,
sometimes in September and October over and it keeps me
a bit relevant.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
You see that that try is always popping up, so
I always always remind them thanks, thanks for keeping my
face on the screen somehow.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I love it. And you mentioned before, I mean you
had time at the Panthers and Manly as well. But
does the Warriors feel like your home, your natural home,
your spiritual home.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Oh, spiritually natural home. I think you know the universe.
I'm a big believer in the universe, Jason. You know,
at the end of the day, they brought me home
to get reconnected to the game and reconnected to the
club that I love the most.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
And there's a reason.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Why my mum kept that that letter from nineteen ninety four.
And you know, it's all part of this full circle
moment that that's about to take place tonight.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And just on the Warriors of twenty twenty five eight wins,
two losses, second on the table. What's imprescia the most
about the way they're going about things so far in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Just, there's a lot of things that are making me
really happy. Obviously, resilience is a word that I hear
come out a lot of people's mouths about the team currently.
Obviously they've really got a tough underbelly their defense. They're
really turning up for each other. But I'm just like
the way that they play the game. They look so happy,
they look like they're having fun with each other, the
(10:15):
way that they have a tough underbelly. They're very very
strong in terms of they're keen to roll up their
sleeves to do the one percentage to get themselves to
a platform for themselves to actually give themselves a chance
to win the game. That you know, that's something like
the kick chase, you know, the way they defend. It's
it's an awesome way to see a DNA of a
team unfold like that. And it's where we stood year
and I really feel like it's we're starting to see
(10:36):
the effects of his coaching really starting to like come
through through the footy. And I'm just excited for the club,
excited for we be excited for the boys, and and
just also seeing the young the young boys buying in
as well. You know, usually a successful teams driven by
the experienced boys, but there's got to be buying from
the young kids too. And and and you know, being
around the club the week this week, the the you know,
(10:58):
the attitude these young kids have. They're so professional, they're
so respectful, hard working, the humble. You know, anytime you
can mix that with some good experience, an amazing experience,
corps of players and a great coach and a great
club and a great fan membership and a great home
grounding time you sell that out made as a recipe
for good things.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
So hopefully this year can be a year for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And you played, I think with a young Luke Metcalf
when you're at Manly, he was at Blacktown, I think
the feeder club into Manly even as what what do
you mean seventeen eighteen years old? Did you see his
promise back then?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yeah, seen his promised back then. I've always spoken about
how highly I've rated Luky. I was fortunate enough to
play with him at the Blacktown Breathers and you know,
back into my career, and he was a young nineteen
year old, eighteen year old I think, and the pure
raw talent that he possessed back then is something that
we're still seen now and I feel like we stu
(11:52):
also seeing Luki really mature as a player. He's such
a footy nerd and he always has been, and you
want that from him in number seven.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
He's got X factor.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
He's got the speed, and you know, he's like, I
think he's slowly finding that balance of how to how
to control a game but also put his X factor
in a game, which is a hard thing to do
when you're trying to you're trying to put your team
in around, especially in your first year as a seven.
So I really feel like he's finding that balance quite
quickly and he's going to be the master of that
(12:21):
very soon.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Dear Warrior the jersey, Louis, it's an absolute cracker, mate,
Congratulations on it. I can't wait to see the boys
wearing it with pride tonight against the Raiders. Thanks for
stopping it on your way to the ground.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Mate, Thank you so much. Jason just quick shout out
to a moment. It's a birthday today too, so happy
birthday man.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Oh, happy birthday missus Brown. Good on you mate, Thanks

a top man. Louis Brown, former Warrior fashion designer. I'll
be wearing the Dear Warrior strip tonight, which is you've
probably seen photos of it. It's, as Louis outlined, a
dark strip and you can do more reading about it

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Thanks for having me Jason, and and thank you for

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, it sort of goes back to when I was
an eight year old Jason received a received the letter

So to be able to get letter that day and
(01:59):
maybe Phily made me feel real.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Connected to the club.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
And and and then that's where the dream sort of became,
you know, sort of become from there become to become
a Warrior. And obviously in two thousand and nine I
got to represent the club and and you know go
on to play eighty four games. But to be able
to come back to the club in a different way
and to be able to do this Warrior, this this jersey,
this special jursey called Deer Warrior, and and kind of
you know, kind of tell the story of a young
(02:23):
boy wanting to become become a Warrior and going on
a path from from the grassroots rugby league, you know, Arena.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
It's an amazing story.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
So I'm really really thankful for the club and to

Why my mum kept that that letter from nineteen ninety four.
And you know, it's all part of this full circle

Speaker 2 (09:45):
And just on the Warriors of twenty twenty five eight wins,
two losses, second on the table. What's imprescia the most
about the way they're going about things so far in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Just, there's a lot of things that are making me
really happy. Obviously, resilience is a word that I hear
come out a lot of people's mouths about the team currently.
Obviously they've really got a tough underbelly their defense. They're
really turning up for each other. But I'm just like
the way that they play the game. They look so happy,
they look like they're having fun with each other, the
(10:15):
way that they have a tough underbelly. They're very very
strong in terms of they're keen to roll up their
sleeves to do the one percentage to get themselves to
a platform for themselves to actually give themselves a chance
to win the game. That you know, that's something like
the kick chase, you know, the way they defend. It's
it's an awesome way to see a DNA of a
team unfold like that. And it's where we stood year
and I really feel like it's we're starting to see
(10:36):
the effects of his coaching really starting to like come
through through the footy. And I'm just excited for the club,
excited for we be excited for the boys, and and
just also seeing the young the young boys buying in
as well. You know, usually a successful teams driven by
the experienced boys, but there's got to be buying from
the young kids too. And and and you know, being
around the club the week this week, the the you know,
(10:58):
the attitude these young kids have. They're so professional, they're
so respectful, hard working, the humble. You know, anytime you
can mix that with some good experience, an amazing experience,
corps of players and a great coach and a great
club and a great fan membership and a great home
grounding time you sell that out made as a recipe
for good things.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
So hopefully this year can be a year for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And you played, I think with a young Luke Metcalf
when you're at Manly, he was at Blacktown, I think
the feeder club into Manly even as what what do
you mean seventeen eighteen years old? Did you see his
promise back then?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yeah, seen his promised back then. I've always spoken about
how highly I've rated Luky. I was fortunate enough to
play with him at the Blacktown Breathers and you know,
back into my career, and he was a young nineteen
year old, eighteen year old I think, and the pure
raw talent that he possessed back then is something that
we're still seen now and I feel like we stu
(11:52):
also seeing Luki really mature as a player. He's such
a footy nerd and he always has been, and you
want that from him in number seven.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
He's got X factor.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
He's got the speed, and you know, he's like, I
think he's slowly finding that balance of how to how
to control a game but also put his X factor
in a game, which is a hard thing to do
when you're trying to you're trying to put your team
in around, especially in your first year as a seven.
So I really feel like he's finding that balance quite
quickly and he's going to be the master of that
(12:21):
very soon.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Dear Warrior the jersey, Louis, it's an absolute cracker, mate,
