budget direct all over the place

No more black on the alternate/away kit. I wonder if the Phins have been asked to stop using it/cut back on it now that the Bears are locked in for 2027?

They probably came to that conclusion themselves.. especially given that jerseys are 2-years minimum, the new away jersey woild have to *at least* work for 2026-27, and there's no knowing if they'll have to go to Perth on 2027.

Are the Dolphins struggling for corporate support? Having the same sponsor as main sponsor and sleeve sponsor isn’t a good look.

Why not? Budget obviously sees value in taking over all the spots. Do you think thye should be ask the NRL if they can throw them a KFC sleeve sponsorship there way as well?

It looks cheap and looks like they’re struggling for corporate partnerships.

Sentence fragment.

Ah so they should be walking billboards with every different company under the sun plaster on them. I think the one sponsor all over is much nice. Nothing cheap about it. If your getting the market rate then who cares.

 

[Growthegame]

If your getting the market rate then who cares.

Ultimately, yes. “but are they?” Will be the question posed.

 

[Yosemite Sam]

The only thing that matters is are Budget Direct paying more than Adventure Kings were last season? Unless you know the answer you can't say it looks cheap.

you’ll get hate for it but you’re right. Broncos had wow double up a few years back but when wow went broke it was revealed the broncos had basically undersold themselves and were then at risk leaving themselves short.

No business is gonna pay 100% rates of both jersey and sleeve.

100%!

the way it was worded in the CM article sounded… off. Like $3m got thrown around but no mention of the breakdown. I went back to check the original sleeve sponsor announcement and I could only see “multi year deal”.

Pros re dolphins jerseys:
- no black. Leave it for others
- lowered the budget direct on away jersey so as not to disturb the design. This should happen more often (Cowboys in particular)

Bad:
- home has a big white box. Boo

Look closer, the away has a box too so it does disturb the design...

Hmm.. could be a move away from the classic Sharks design that dates back to thr '70s... looks like the back may be fully black, with the top of the front being black & bottom of the front being blue.

I'm intrigued.

Given the 2016 jumper in the background and next year being the 10-year anniversary of said premiership, I'd bank more on it being similar to 2016

You can actually tell it is, the black stripe down the side. Poor from them
