We can have one without the other.
As far as I know we make peanuts from these one offs. They're just grooming us for the Steeler jersey that's coming...
I dunno about peanuts, even if only 1000 of these sell it's still $100k.
But is that worth the cost of manufacture? Must be, because they churn 'em out every year.
We will never lose the Red V, it is a marketing monster. The sales figures are still great, especially for jersey that has barely changed in 40 or 50 years. Other teams change their design every couple of seasons and still struggle to match the big Red V. If they do install something else,it's time for a unusually heavy sports bag to appear in the boardroom.
I'm not sure about the Steelers jersey, maybe they will push it as the away jersey (all 3 or so times it's worn.) I've never been a fan of Where's Wally, i know it's traditional (so's arranged marriage) but I grew up with the Red V, it's what everyone associates with Saints, anything else is a fill in.
If they can't wear the red V due to NRL rules/ need to sell more jerseys, may as well give the Stanleys a consolation prize IMHO.
And then we can give Daithi back the f**ken socks. ;-) :lol:
