Jerseys

In November 2023, Melbourne Storm announced a new sponsorship and apparel partnership agreement with Irish sportswear company O'Neills, ^[145] ending the club's relationship with British sportswear company Castore, before the end of the original five-year deal that had been announced in December 2020.

Home

Revealed in November 2023, ^[146] the 2024 home 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

The away jersey, worn when the home jersey creates a clash with the opposition, is a similar design to the home jersey, with white replacing the navy blue base colour. This jersey will be worn with purple shorts, with white socks.

ANZAC Day

Revealed in early April, Melbourne's jersey worn on ANZAC Day featured the team colours of navy blue and purple in a zig-zag pattern that paid homage to design elements at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. The design mimics the sporadic design of trenches dug by soldiers, as well as the Dazzle camouflage employed by Royal Australian Navy vessels in World War I and World War II. ^[147]

Indigenous

Titled "Kerrbooonool" meaning connection in Woiwurrung language, the club's 2024 Indigenous jersey was designed by Letitia Smith, cousin of Reimis Smith. The design includes the hand and footprints of the club's Indigenous players, the Yarra river and a gathering circle. The inner lining of the collar pays tribute to Tony Mundine, former Australian boxer and grandfather of Reimis Smith. The jersey was worn in the NRL's Indigenous Round against Manly in May, and also against Canberra in June. ^[148]
