The 2013 Melbourne Storm season was the 16th in the club's history. They competed in the 2013 NRL season. They were coached by Craig Bellamy and captained by Cameron Smith. They had previously won the NRL's 2012 Telstra Premiership therefore started the season as reigning premiers.

Seven straight wins to start the season extended the club's winning streak to 15 games dating back to the previous campaign. The Origin period proved difficult to negotiate however with team unable to come up with some crucial wins at the business end of the season, eventually finishing in third place. Two finals losses to the Rabbitohs and Knights prematurely ended the season, as Storm did not make the Preliminary final stage for just the second time in eight years. The Storm attack was the shining light of the season, producing 98 tries to be ranked second in the competition. The team also had the best home record of any side in the NRL, losing just the one game at AAMI Park during the season. Cooper Cronk was rewarded for several seasons of brilliance, claiming his first Dally Medal Play of the Year honour. Off the field Storm experienced a change at the helm with Mark Evans replacing Ron Gauci as CEO midway through the season.[1]

Jersey

In 2013 the Storm jerseys were again made by Kooga. They created a New Jersey for 2013 which featured more navy blue and a more prominent and deeper V that integrated the sponsor's (Crown Casino) logo into the design better, the lightning bolts are also now purple for the first time. Colours yellow and white were removed and reduced respectively so that the jersey is essentially half navy blue and half purple. The away jersey is a white version of the home jersey.[7]

Special Jerseys

  • For Round 10, the Storm released a special jersey for the "Women of League" round, it was worn on 20 May against Manly Sea Eagles.[8] The jersey consisted of navy blue and pink horizontal hoops.
  • For Round 13 the Storm wore a jersey to promote the Superman movie Man of Steel.[9] The jerseys design is similar to that of the costume worn in the movie with the red S logo on the front.
  • For Round 14 the Storm wore their 2013 heritage jersey, which was a replica of their original 1998 jersey.[10]
  • For the Round 17 game against the Brisbane Broncos they wore their "Big Battle" jersey.[11]
