If the ISC branding was on the blue V rather than the red collar I reckon it would probably look a little more "heritage" to some people.
Rinky dink.Now what if this happened to an NRL club? Disgraceful on the suppliers!

Why would they put an old sponsor on a current playing strip?
What team has ever played in a heritage jersey without their current sponsor on it?
For what it's worth, I think they've got it bang on, apart from the collar:
They're actually last years jerseys Zombie, they've got the old ISC logos on them.
The ones they'll wear in Round 1 will be the new design away jerseys with the hoops and Quantum Solar Power patch on the front.
I really hope the "Telstra Premiership" NRL logo is dropped in the new TV deal, and we revert to a simple NRL logo, but altered in colour for each team (eg, Blue instead of green and yellow edging for Parramatta).
Pretty crappy having advertising on the games logo on every jersey.
Maybe the eagles could merge with the bears, they have a sponsor! 
Really?
Sponsorship to me is a sign of strength and it's been a part of the game for years and years. If Telstra are injecting dollars into the competition I'm more than happy for them to have their logo on the jersey. Better IMO than a comp like the Cricket T20 domestic where the same sponsor is front and centre on every jersey.
Also, not exactly what the TP logo would have to do with a new TV deal, although it is correct to say that Telstra's six year deal concludes at the end of 2012 and sponsorship rights are up for grabs. Would be a seperate deal.
Wishful thinking. Companies don't give stuff like that up.
