I'm gonna save the judgement on the 'water marked' logos of the Titans and Knights, you can't really understand what the jersey's look like until you actually see them.

No, that's true. The Titans one I have seen (as a mock up posted here in this thread ... or the previous 2009/10 jerseys thread), so I can say I'm not a fan of the design of the watermark they've chosen.

I'd guess that Newcastle's watermark will be the 'Knights' part of their logo (the text in the same fashion as the logo), probably underneath the Coal & Allied logo somewhere ... again, probably towards the bottom of the jersey.

Okay, apologies to all who can see the watermark on the posted pics of the Knights 2010 alternate jersey. My monitor must be too bright or something, because I can't see it. Hence why I have done this. I have darkened the pic so those who -like me- can't see the watermark can now clearly see it. It seems my guess as to what the watermark would look like was wrong.

I still don't see the point of this - especially now that I can actually see it!

So does this mean that huge logos on your shirts will be the next big thing in jerseys??

It's already happening in rugby - the NZ Super-14 teams have prints embossed into their Adidas jerseys.

I think it's just some logo for the technology the socks use: 'Cool Max'. That's what I think it is anyway!

I think they should go back to using the socks they were using a couple of years ago. They were awesome. Blue socks with the top section being red, and 3 red stripes further down.

It becomes a problem when two or three years ago the Tigers with x-Blades decided to add a little Tiger swipe in the corner of every number. It meant that 8's and 6's from memory looked almost identical, to the point where the NRL intervened IIRC. I like the big boldness of the 'Dogs and Broncos numbers, I believe a Nike styling? I do kinda wish they were standard across the board but it's probably just a bit too controlling.

I like the military style font but it doesn't matter much. So long as they don't look like the AFL ones.

:lol: In your opinion.

Let me guess, the majority of 'Dogs fans hate it too? :roll:

JAYCAR EXTENDS SPONSORSHIP



Thursday, September 24, 2009
On the eve of the biggest NRL finals game in history, Jaycar Electronics have extended their premium jersey sponsorship with the Bulldogs, locking in for a three-year multimillion dollar deal.
Jaycar Chief Executive Mr Gary Johnston has been blown away by the extensive reach and return on investment provided by the Bulldogs in 2009.
“Our involvement with the Bulldogs has gone above and beyond anything we could have imagined,” Mr Johnston said.
"So far they have over delivered on all our expectations. They had a pre-finals accumulated television audience of 16.4million (NRL average: 13.3million, AFL average 14.9million), they are the most visited website in the NRL and they have the highest home crowd average of any Sydney based club.
"We 're a business looking to broaden our brand awareness and these figures clearly show that the Bulldogs provide an ideal platform for us to do this.
"We initially partnered with the Club because we were impressed with their strategic direction and the incredible change in perception of the Bulldogs brand in the broader marketplace.
"The outstanding form on the field has been a bonus and we wish them every success going into tomorrow night's game."
Bulldogs Chief Executive Mr Todd Greenberg says the deal is an acknowledgement of the value offered by Rugby League and the Bulldogs in particular.
“This deal is an important step towards securing the future of the Bulldogs and it's a great vote of confidence in the direction we're headed," Mr Greenberg said.
"That an organisation is prepared to commit to a long term deal in the current climate is no small achievement and we look forward to continuing a successful partnership with Jaycar."

I definitely agree with the "less is more" adage, although I'm not opposed to clubs being more experimental with their alternate strips.

I find integration of sponsorship into the jersey design a greater concern. Some clubs have it spot on (Gold Coast, Parramatta, NQLD, NZ) while others are shocking (Brisbane, Melbourne).


I'm a fan of the designs done by the Jersey enthusiast over at Gazzzaf Design ( www.gazzzaf.com ).

I'd be thrilled if the Broncos moved to something similar to this mocked up design:

Lovin the Bronco Design :fist: Simple yet effective. Bold with a hint of summer fruits.....anyway, I like it.
