Seeing your favourite player pull on a rival teams jersey seems just downright wrong and weird.

It's not uncommon for many of the games great players to swap clubs in search for bigger and better opportunities, with some of them paying off, and others not so much.

Like seeing Cooper Cronk in anything other than purple, or Canberra Raiders legend Ricky Stuart in a Bulldogs jersey.

It just looked weird!

We're here to take you on a trip down memory lane to look at some of the games longest-serving stars don the strangest jerseys.

Steve Price

Let's kick this thing home with our last throwback - Steve Price's move from Canterbury to the Warriors.

The prop made his debut in 1994 for the blue and white team where he played 222 games for the club. (Richie Benaud would be proud).

Many people questioned Price's decision to leave a successful Bulldogs club in 2005 to join the struggling Warriors side, who had their worst season in 2004 only winning six games and finishing second last.

Price didn't seem to enjoy life after the Dogs at the Warriors as salary cap dramas and injuries plagued him, before in 2010 he was replaced as captain and ended up retiring immediately mid-season.

It took fans a while to become familiar with seeing Price in black jersey, along with many other players mentioned above.

No one's sure in what the future holds, but there definitely will be some weird jersey combinations fans will need to get use to in the years to come.
