2011 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Timmah]

Why Classic continued Canterbury's "random lines" policy is beyond me. Consistency? Just go back to playing f**king blue please.

Having said that, at least we don't have the teardrop like Queensland...

you bag it, yet your bulldogs will be wearing a tear drop next year......................

And the adidas necks are very very uncomfortable

So is that what caused the choke last year????

Go to Reebok for a year and win the whole thing.

Indeed.

The best Blues jersey was the clean sky blue one they wore in the 90's when they were doing well. I hated that jersey but this one they have with the navy shoulder pads is a joke.

This one is half decent as the navy sides are out of the way.

I think teams are guilty of over complicating things. Keep it simple. It looks much better.

 

[innsaneink]

Haha manboobs getting owned.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

I think more clubs should follow the Tigers, 2 major sponsors, one on each jersey.

We've been doing that since 2007. Good for Wests for following our lead.

As much as I hate NSW and anything to do with them, it pains me to say but this is a very sexy jersey:

Was an awesome jersey. QLD had the same from memory. Why they can't do this for all origins I don't know.

Wish we would go back to those Retro's both QLD and NSW wore in 08.

New NSW jersey for 2011, which looks better.

 

[Nuke]

Are you saying there is a new NSW Origin jersey for 2011, or was that part of your wishlist there, 100%Green?

Awesome jersey.

Best jersey NSW ever had was the all sky blue one with the navy blue collar/ piping. They wore that one from 1984-1996 and oversaw the Blues' most dominant years of Origin. As for that other mob north of the Tweed, best jersey was the one with the horizontal white stripes that they wore from 1991-94.

Both states' current jerseys are a load of Rugby Union wannabee garbage.

I've had a look through old photo's of NSW teams of yesteryear prior to Origin, and I cannot find one that used a Kangaroo as it's logo. I know Qld did for a while, but not for NSW. Anyone care to fill me in as to when NSW used the Kangaroo as a logo?

2008. Centenary Year.

Hmm good point. Surely they would have, would be a bit weird if they did it just to fit in.

Yes.. but that was a retro jersey

 

[Frailty]

The kangaroo was on the NSW Jersey of 1908.

I remember seeing pics of the early (1920ish) NSW sides wearing a Kangaroo on their jersey, but don't have access to pics online. That'd be a job for Sean Fagan!
