Panthers are the only team not to have a dedicated 9's jersey...

Now I'm conflicted - On one hand, the less jerseys there are, the better my wallet looks - On the other hand though, kind of makes our team look a little less professional.

My understanding was the NRL issued a directive to the club to use the pink kit - presumably to avoid clashes with the other clubs who'd already submitted designs.

Anyway here's the remaining two jerseys up close - Raiders and Gold Coast:

Well that's shit! Oh well, like I said, I suppose it'll save me some money.

My rankings from best to worst:

Knights
Roosters
Warriors
SeaEagles (but ruined by sponsor)
Titans
Raiders
Sharks
Dragons
Broncos
Tigers
Souths* (10/10 jersey but should be regular season, bit boring for 9's)
Storm
Eels
Bulldogs
Cowboys

My rankings.

1. Knights - Awesome, perfect combination of club colours and 9's "not too serious" theme.
2. Tigers - Also awesome, could probably have included a bit more orange but that being picky.
3. Titans - Great effort, fits the feel of the 9's.
4. Roosters - Tiny bit on the plain side if it wasn't for the watermark, but a really good design.
5. Broncos - Rains shit all over their alternate jersey and should probably replace it.
6. Dragons - Top effort
7. Sharks - A bit on the cartoonish side but suits the 9's
8. Eels - Same as above
9. Sea Eagles - Completely destroyed by the sponsor logo, would have been much higher
10. Warriors - Cool design if you want a massive tattoo or artwork, but from a distance looks like a newspaper, boring.
11. Storm - Pretty plain and boring, and the sponsors logo looks cheap and tacky.
12. Souths - Too much like a regular season jersey, good design but should just be an alternate.
13. Raiders - Plain and boring
14. Bulldogs - Same as above
15. Cowboys - Way too plain, looks like a bulldogs alternate jersey. Could have done so much better.
16. Panthers - At least try.

Ah the irony of Greg Bird wearing a jersey that looks like it's made from broken glass......

Asked the Panthers about our lack of a Nines jersey and got back

Due in part to NRL directives we will be wearing our 2016 Away Jersey.

Now I'm really confused - So who's decision was it? Did the NRL say "No, we want you to wear the Pink one even though every other team can have a dedicated one"

Or, was it more the Panthers saying "We couldn't be bothered, let the NRL pick then we can tell fans it was an NRL directive"?

It's the "in part" bit that's throwing me.

That Panther gold jersey is the epitamy of selling out/cash grab- NOTHING clashes with pink so why the f**k do you need an alternate...

*epitome

edit-ACT, the other part is that we sold about 5 nines jerseys last year.

Bulldogs needs to get someone located far, far away from their own area start doing the designs. Gross.

If it's not an Ed Hardy looking cluster f**k, it's this weird looking crap.
