'11 Jerseys

[MoorookaSaint]

Orange with two thin black vee's was always your best looking jumper (60's-early 90's I'm guessing). It's got me buggered how many clubs overlook the fact fans like tradition.

Ughh


Can't we just go to a set of V jerseys without having to wear something a designer seemingly vomited after a hard night


I know people didn't like the current set (I did) but they were simple, and much better than anything worn post the original set. If we went back to the original 2000 jerseys (With the correct Balmain shade of gold), with a better designed V (Rather than a poor knock off Melbourne lightning strike V), surely people would love them?


Most clubs seem to be heading back towards traditional looking jerseys, yet we are seemingly going in the opposite direction?

Exactly ! dont like the 2011 versions ,where are the tiger colours? slowly fading away ..... needs to be a stronger influence to much white not enough blck and gold

oh well,
an extra $170 towards the mortgage next year, wont be buying either of those
seriously... who smoked what before designing those....

I actually like them. Traditional V with a modern twist. And a nice simple design. Seems pretty much what you guys were asking for at the top of the thread.

I really like the white jersey last year.

I hope we have a white one as an alternate 3rd jersey.

You'll find the Balmain Ryde Eastwood colours are in the State Cup. The Wests Tigers colours are there for all to see, a couple of posts back.

There is nothing simple at all about that design.

What is with the lines under the collar, and down the sides? Way too busy. And the sponsor logo will sit on top of the V, which will make it look worse most likely.

Looks f**king terrible...and the away one? A Tiger print on the front? REALLY!?

Do you mean the ones they designed for Newcastle, Cronulla or us?

All the same jersey, just ours has a V down the middle. Same base template for all three clubs. It's the height of laziness, and in all honesty, if all three clubs (I realise Cronulla won't be wearing what they designed for them) paid them top dollar for designs that came off the one base template, they should be ashamed.


In saying that, I do not mind the white alternate, it actually isn't a bad jersey and is growing on me, but in the "One club" desire, they have allowed them to go WAY too far overboard in incorporating the two foundation clubs into one jersey for the main.


There are several things that need fixing, starting with those horrible white panels down the side. Have no issue with white itself (As I said, I do like the away somewhat) but the way it's been incorporated? It looks tacky.


Make the white on the sides black, and I may not have such an issue with the jersey to be honest.


I do like the style of the V (Lifted off the 10 year jersey) - Much more "Us" I think than the original jerseys which were just a straight jack of the Storm's V of the time.

Going back and comparing, I really do think it's the white on the sides that gets me.


It works with the away jersey, because the away jersey is white, I honestly think making the sides entirely black on the main, will have a much more seamless blend into the rest of the jersey, than essentially looking like horrible panels on the side.


& tbh, to me that would make it look like a Western Suburbs jersey, merging into a Balmain jersey. Perfect situation imo


Hybrid - I dunno about the Tiger print, remember we haven't seen these in the flesh yet, it may actually turn out ok once we see a real one in front of us, dependant of course on how much the sponsor panel detracts from it.

Maybe you're right, but its just not necessary IMO. Design should have one rule: keep it simple.

Honestly: a V design with gold, black and white should look f**king awesome. There is really no need to complicate things.

This one posted on the other forum looks brilliant, IMO. Clean, simple, effective:

 

[meltiger]

Yeah I've seen him post them up on WTforum, in all honesty not a fan. I don't know if my "get rid of the white on the sides" solution would work either, but I'd like to see what change to the overall look it would make.


If we want simple, why not 3 versions of the 10 year jersey?


The V is bloody awesome, and we could have the black, white, gold set in them.


V on the 10 year jersey BOSSES the ones on those designs

These are a MILLION times better than the crap we'll be rocking for the next three years. How can they not release the jersey without giving the members or fans a say?

The official ones are obnoxious. This proposal is, at least, heading in the right direction. However, the raglan model is another t-shirt step and does not lend itself easily to old style league "prints", like V's and hoops. It kind of looks like a trad jersey, yet... geniused. It's the gimp retro. Like Easts' "special ed" one. Put this idea on a regular "jersey" type jersey, finish the design and it could be looking pretty good. Put an actual, real collar on it and it would be ready to rock. Don't like the side stripes. But, I'd take them to get something approaching great.
