It's definitely a stronger blue than it used to be, but I wouldn't describe it as aqua.

Kinda on topic, the NSW socks are shit. They need more dark blue on them (there was nothing wrong with the old socks which they ditched a couple of years ago), and the sky blue that they're using for the socks isn't even the same sky blue that's on the jersey. They're too pale.

And yes, I also believe the NSW jerseys should have the players names on the back above the number.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

the colour of the NSW jersey is just woeful

also hated the names being replaced with a f**king VB advertisement

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The blue does seem to be lighter. But no complaints about it. Names on origin jerseys are an absolute must. It looked like someone had just plonked stickers on the back.

They may as well have had "kick me" on their backs after last nights outing.

 

[Shorty]

Is there a reason other than advertising that NSW didn't have names?
Like maybe you're playing for NSW and are a number....?
I can't believe that would do that to an Origin jersey.

 

[hellteam]

Tell you what, if I went to the sheds for my first origin game and got a new jersey with no name on the back, I'd be pretty pissed.

 

[hellteam]

especially when qld's jersey had names and a state flag on it

Blue was definitely more of a highlighter blue colour, but liked it.

NSW numbers were black, aren't they usually white? No numbers was a shame, and thought the side panel on the shorts was a little weird.

Didn't like the QLD flag, don't know why, maybe just because it was new and I don't change!

 

[applesauce]

Half you guys here wanting names on the Origin jerseys don't want it at club level.

If it is good enough for Origin it is good enough for club games ffs. Flawed logic.

QLD flag looked out of place, way to many logos. There were a lot of NSW players called real Australian beer. Cant remember the last time NSW didn't have names on the back. Would be 20 years.

It's completely different.

How many changes do you see in the NRL teams name on Tuesday to the players that actually play on the day? Too many to have all these extra jerseys with names etc on them just in case or whatever.

Origin does not have that problem or any represenstative side really.

You could aruge that NRL teams should give players a squad number at the start of the year and they should wear that all year, but i disagree on that. It's a tradition to have the position dictate the numbers and its easy to see what position a player is playing by looking at his number.

It's a bit like what happened at the Sharks a few years back - when they had the 'fin' design shirt, the shade of blue was a lot darker than the original Sharks blue.

They've reverted to a shade now that's similar to the traditional pale blue that they used to wear - wonder if that will happen with NSW?

And on the numbers, I have no problem with the numbers being dark instead of white.

I reckon player numbers should stand-out. The original white numbers on a light blue jersey just smudged from a distance - unless the jersey was dirty.

 

[Nuke]

The numbers were dark blue I think you'll find. They've had that the past few years - usually when playing in QLD, while when playing in NSW, they've retained the white numbers. Personally, I like the white numbers, but that's just my opinion.

I guess we'll see in a few weeks' time if they have the dark blue numbers or the white ones.

Its more traditional in SoO. I'm all for names on jerseys at club level but I will admit to being anti individual numbers.

Pretty sure that only happened in one year. 2007 I think. Last year they had blue numbers all games.

On a side note, I miss the silver Qld numbers

Are you f**king kidding me??? You could say the same thing when Thurston comes back from injury and they make him a one off number "20" jersey.

No wait your right that is a big obstacle and cannot be overcome...

How does a 45man NFL team do it? What about the numerous soccer leagues around the world with players that actually don't get a run on the pitch but are on the bench.

Some iron-on letters are not going to break the budget and if they can do it for sponsors, logos etc there is no excuse....
