Don't mind the odd promotional jersey now and then. Clubs often give up sponsorship space on their jerseys to charities every year for a cause. If a corporation wants to pitch in and use an NRL club for their billboard for a match, then why not? It's a sensible income decision for a Board to accept, + may create synergy with fans of such promoted brands.

Doesn't look much has changed, the white panel remains and instead of Jetstar it says iselect.

Good that Jetstar is still on board with naming sponsor.

The Tigers have invested a lot of time in designing this year's jumper so the sponsors would be prominently displayed. Last-minute adjustments to ensure the sponsor's happiness meant a delay in stocking this year's design.
''We designed ours with the sponsors at the forefront of our thinking. We positioned Meriton higher on the chest so it won't be lost in the fold-over, Hyundai received a black panel to ensure their brand wasn't lost in a mish-mash of colours. We weren't happy with the first batch of jumpers, and while the redesign meant delays in getting it into shops, this year's jumper has been our fastest-ever seller,'' Clarke said.
Tigers players have been told not to fold their arms for photo shoots to ensure their sponsors get invaluable exposure.
