After a pretty damn succesful Christmas shop (I hate Christmas shopping) I popped into the Dragons Cave store on Burelli Street in Wollongong to see if they had the new jerseys in. They do. I should've taken a camera but alas.
Some points.
1. The V is definitely longer and by a significant margin. I'd say something like 20-30%. The goatee is much more significant and the NRL/Saints logos no longer sit right down near the bottom of the V.
I'm not sure whether the average person in the street would notice it, but it's plain to see the difference/improvement when you have the old and the new jerseys sitting next to one another.
2. Two other changes to the front of the jersey. Firstly, we have the new Telstra Premiership logo. I realise that it isn't very popular around LU but I reckon it looks much more professional and integrated. I still have to get used to the blue though. The new logo is also smaller than the old one and balances quite nicely with our logo on the other side. Secondly, the "bank" text of the sponsor's logo is a little smaller than it used to be.
3. The St George Bank logo on the back is quite different compared to last year. Check out the picture in the first post of this thread to see. Also, the OKI bit seemed to be a slightly different tone than it used to be. Still red, but a brighter shade.
4. Red away jumper appears unchanged except for the new St George Bank text.
