Sea Eagles to celebrate 80th Anniversary

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will proudly celebrate their 80th anniversary in 2026, honouring eight decades of passion, premierships, and unforgettable moments.

To mark this historic milestone, the Club has designed new home and away jerseys for 2026 which have been inspired by premiership-winning seasons 1996 and 1976.  Each will feature the Sea Eagles commemorative 80th anniversary badge.

Sea Eagles celebrate 80th year

Our History

Granted entry to the NSWRL first-grade competition on November 4, 1946, the Sea Eagles began their journey in 1947 and have since risen to become one of rugby league’s most powerful and successful clubs.

Over eight decades, Manly has captured eight premierships, building a legacy defined by excellence, resilience, and unity.

The 2026 home and away jerseys celebrate two golden milestones; 30 years since the 1996 Premiership and 50 years since the 1976 Premiership, both key moments in our Club’s rich history.

Home Jersey - 1996 tribute

Thirty years on, our home jersey pays tribute to the iconic Pepsi jersey worn by the 1996 Premiership-winning team.

Worn by legends such as Geoff Toovey, Steve Menzies, Cliff Lyons, Terry Hill, and led by coach Bob Fulton, this design captures the spirit of a golden era.

Away Jersey - 1976 tribute

Fifty years later, our away jersey celebrates the Club’s third premiership.

Inspired by our 1976 Premiership side, it honours Immortal Bob Fulton, Terry Randall, Graham Eadie, Max Krilich, and coach Frank Stanton, players and leaders who helped define the Sea Eagles’ legacy.

Honouring Our Legacy

Drawing inspiration from past commemorative designs, the 80th anniversary badge proudly incorporates Manly’s traditional maroon and white, with gold to symbolise the Club’s eight championships and enduring success.

Keep an eye on our website and social media channels across the season for a series of in-depth interviews featuring players of yesteryear. We will also turn back time with a series of retro stories recollecting memorable moments from the past 80 years.
