2011 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[flippikat]

You know I thought it was very average when displayed in this thread earlier. But after watching the game on TV yesterday, I think it may be the best jersey the Warriors have used.
Just take out the Union Jack and it'd be perfect.

Yup, or replace the Union Jack with a green fern (hey the junior Warriors have one) and keep the red stars.

Either way, it's great to see the Warriors wear something with a little colour!

I liked this Warriors jersey

 

[Knightmare]

At least the jersey they wore yesterday has a collar...

I liked this Warriors jersey

Now that brings back some good memories - our most successful season (so far)...

 

[Zigwaa]

NSW Jerseys looked so much better with the player names back above the number.

 

[Saint Doc]

Yeah but the sponsor needs to go under the number. In fact I bought a 2010 NSW jersey today, the VB sponsor logo just makes me want to puke.

Damn I wish John singleton liked SOO. how good would the bluetounge blues be?!

Melbourne Storm is throwing its support behind the Harvey Norman Women in League Round with several initiatives planned this week before the team tackles the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland on Sunday 26 June 2011.

In a show of Victorian support, Melbourne Storm and Crown, in conjunction with NRL’s One Community, will host a Women in League Breakfast on Wednesday 22 June 2011 in support of Ovarian Cancer Australia.

The event will be hosted by Storm Ambassador and Ovarian Cancer Australia Patron, Nicole Livingstone, and will be held in the River Room at Crown. Designed to recognise and thank the women in league from grass roots to executive level, the event is aimed to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.

Melbourne Storm Chief Commercial Officer, Claire Murphy, said: “Melbourne Storm’s Women in League breakfast event is an intimate gathering which acknowledges the efforts of women in rugby league in Melbourne across all levels of administration.

“As Melbourne Storm’s supporter base continues to grow, the efforts of these fantastic women are needed more than ever at every level of the game in Victoria.”

Melbourne Storm and Crown are also delighted to announce that, to further support the Women in League round, Ovarian Cancer Australia’s logo will appear on the front of Storm’s jersey when Melbourne Storm faces the New Zealand Warriors on Sunday 26 June 2011.

Crown’s General Manager of Public Relations, Ann Peacock, said: “Such initiatives, where further awareness will be raised about ovarian cancer, is another critical part of the sponsorship program that Crown wants to be involved with.”

A select group of Melbourne Storm players will also wear specially made mouthguards designed by Mobile Mouthguards that are teal in colour and branded with the Ovarian Cancer Australia logo.

Nice. Hope they go up for auction on Storm website. Will look nice next to my heritage jersey.

To move this back to being a beer thread, John Singleton isn't involved with Bluetongue any more (currently owned by Pacific Beverages, which is a partnership between SABMillier and Coca-Cola Amatil). He still acts as a spokesman when the need arises. If I remember right, it was his son who was the main backer behind the brand when it first hit the market.

Speaking of SABMiller, they have put in a bid for Fosters Group. Could be interesting for Rugby League if it goes through since VB is a major sponsor of the NRL, ARL, and the NSWRL.

 

[Rapture_Shark]

other than the ones this round, does any one know of any other 'special' jerseys happening this year

 

[Patorick]

Besides Indigenous week?

 

[Timmah]

Cowboys, Manly and I think one other club will wear Indigenous jerseys.

The Wests Tigers will wear their Magpies hoops in Round 22 against St George Illawarra.

Not sure about any others for the rest of the year besides those.

 

[Tiger_Tim]

The Parra baby blue-and-pink jersey wouldn't clash that much with the Raiders bright pink would it? Especially as Canberra are wearing white shorts. I guess Parra wear theirs next week?

 

[Timmah]

Correct, Eels confirmed on their Twitter earlier tonight http://www.twitter.com/theparraeels

Seems a bit strange IMO, but it us the Eels so I guess it doesn't have to make sense.

 

[Timmah]

They'll wear it next week I guess. NRL probably deemed it a clash.

 

[Frailty]

I didn't mind the Sharks wearing the white away shorts last night.

 

[ceagle]

Apparently Manly have signed a new sponsorship with Kaspersky as their major sponsor and will appear on their jerseys for the Rabbitohs game on July 10th
