'We look good': first glimpse at the Canberra Raiders' 2027 jerseys

The Canberra Raiders have gone Black to the Future following record jersey sales.

Yeah sure, technically it's Black Forest green, but at first glance you could be excused for thinking the Green Machine's new away jersey was black. With a splash of lime.

Black Forest to the Future is not quite as catchy.

And it doesn't tie in with the Raiders' ad as well either, where Kaeo Weekes and Owen Pattie take the DeLorean to the future and meet their future selves to declare, "We look good."

Does an acting career lie in the futures of either Weekes or Pattie?

We'll let you be the judge.

But when you see the Raiders' 2027 home, away and alternate strips it's the away jersey that jumps out.

A closer look will reveal the contours of Canberra as part of a design that was partially inspired by Las Vegas.

Their season opener in Sin City launched a stunning minor premiership campaign and their "colour-rush" jersey was hugely popular.

The Raiders will hope Las Vegas continues to "come up black" for them with their away jersey.

They've enjoyed record sales over the past two-season cycle, with their home jersey almost as popular as their bestselling Marvel Hulk jersey of 2014.

More than 11,000 Hulk jerseys were sold, while the home jersey sold more than 10,000 - although the latter was on sale for two years as opposed to one.

"The thing that led us to ... that [dark green] was the positive commentary we got from our fanbase when we wore that jersey in Las Vegas," Raiders chief operating officer Jason Mathie told The Canberra Times.

"This is a deeper green than that, but people loved the slick look of what was the Raiders' Las Vegas jersey at the start of 2025.

"The jersey program in 2025-26 has been record-breaking.

"There was a number of things that led to that - they were new designs, but the Las Vegas jersey was a phenomenon.

"It was so well-received and we basically reordered."

Jersey nerds will notice some minor changes to the home jersey, like a blue collar and a rejigging of the "iconic ACT stripes" up onto the shoulder.

The alternate strip is predominantly white, with the traditional Raiders green and ACT stripes.

"We're the Green Machine so we will never stray from our core brand colour, which is that envy green," Mathie said.

"The Raiders home jersey will always be predominantly green, that depicts our heritage with the representation of the ACT stripes.

"Unless it's a special event round like Anzac Round or Indigenous Round, we will always wear our green jersey at home."
