2018 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

[toomuchsoup]

A single uniform sponsor for (most) teams?

Minimal sponsor intrusion?

Acid wash jeans?

Who's ever heard of such madness?

ET looks cheery

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Is there any major sports in the world that implement this? Or would top ball be the first?

All NZ teams in Super Rugby were sponsored by FORD for a period ..

I guess they split the cash.. 5 ways

Its not the craziest idea ever... I'd say the 16 clubs only bring in about $12M bucks combined from the front of jersey sponsor.. seems cheap to me

Golden State Warriors just got $20 M a year for a 2.5 inch logo on their jersey..

Fair enough at least it’s a relevant example (super rugby that is)

DHL paid Man U £40m to advertise on their training gear, but it’s not really comparable to NRL.

Good to see Kangaroos gear at Melbourne airport. It’s all mixed up with wallabies gear so they clearly have NFI, but I was happy wandering through the terminal when I spotted the chevrons.

I almost thought to buy something as a form of positive reinforcement. But at $229 for the jersey, $189 for the training jersey and $119 for the polo, I decided against it!!

Don't forget the BNZ sponsorship with Adidas teamup

Big Bash are all KFC right?

All Big Bash teams have separate main sponsors.

That used to happen in the state One Day competition when Matador was the sponsor.

Think that’s just a sleeve sponsor. A league has something similar with Hyundai

The training shirt looks good, although those prices are insane.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Has the NRL ever looked at taking over the jersey sponsorships?

Have one big organisation (e.g. Red Bull) as the jersey sponsor across all teams. Make it a discrete logo and divide the cash up either evenly or in some other fairer way. Jersey sponsorships are hideous in my opinion.

Maybe clubs could still have their own sleeve sponsor.

No necesary (and totally impractical) to have a single comp-wide chest sponsor just to make the jumpers look good....

The ARLC is better off just keeping a veto right over all on-field gear (or even centralising and taking full control over production. It seems like the obvious industry for a sport comp to get into is sports gear)

Central production (under an NRL branding) would give us enough oversight to avoid any terrible jumpers/sponsor integrations. And it would be a big, new revenue stream for the game.

In terms of club apparel I am surprised that the NRL and clubs have not gotten more into active wear. I specifically mean those Lorna Jane tight (extremely tight) full length pants that women wear everywhere and look ferking awesome in. Most women where I live must own 7 pairs of Lorna Jane pants...and I appreciate it.
Get team emblems on performance pants. They would sell a lot better than footy shorts or socks. I would buy my woman several pairs.

 

[King Ben]

Quite amazing to see the outrage from NBA fans now that teams are allowed to place a small sponsor on their jersey. This despite the rule that sponsored NBA jerseys can't be sold outside the team's arena.

They would LOVE Best and Less if they were NRL fans.

 

[kdalymc]

They should just ONLY sell really shit, wrong shape, off colour, uncomfortable cuts at any other venue then.
Like best and less

Something like this?

Because they know where it all leads. In 5 years there will not just be one tiny sponsor on the jersey when there can be 3 or 4 or a billboard across the front worth $200 million a year. Then they will have the same amount of integrity as NRL jerseys (none). American sports have done well to hold out as long as they did but it was always inevitable.

Yes. They could be tighter, but that is the idea.
I tried to get a pair through the Parra Eels merch shop and they could not help me.
Who are 'stormers'?

Even EPL clubs are starting to have sleeve sponsorship.

Old news. Half the clubs have them while the more bigger clubs don't have them due to the current sponsors paying more to stop them.

Velleys Diehards are celebrating their BRL Premiership with a special jersey. And it's a beauty, it'll have the traditional VFC monogram, the 80s and 70s logos on the shoulder and numbers on the front.

You can add a number of your choice as well as your name on the back.

Get your orders in before 31 October.

 

[T-Boon]

They look awesome.
Does anything beat a simple 1 colour scheme in a football jersey (add no front sponsor)?
Maybe thats the way to go. As many sponsors on the back as you like but clean front.
