Will the IC have any say or control over club's jerseys?
IMO I would rather teams pick a more traditional design and stick with it. They should only have an alternative jumper in case of a colour clash with another team, NOT just because they are playing away from home. Having consistency with the jersey adds to the club's tradition and connection between present and past players. Teams can identify more with their team and opposing teams - particularly new fans to the game. Take Manly for example - most posters here would identify them with their horizontal striped jersey - as with parramatta ( which is great this year). Why change it to a V?
Also - can we just have one round a year where they have a one off jersey? Bloody heritage round, Indigenous round, women in league round, etc, etc. All good causes sure... but again, it devalues the club and the jersey.
**rant over**
I agree - have 2 jerseys per team
- a jersey in the clubs traditional colours & design as their main kit
- a "change" jersey that can either be the reverse of their main kit, or something completely different.
That way, you can allow clubs to be creative with their away jersey.
Now, on the subject of all the "Heritage", "Indigenous", "Women in league" etc rounds etc.. surely we could have 8 teams produce heritage kits, 4 teams produce indigenous kits, and 4 teams produce "Women in league" kits (or some similar combination), so that each club produces a jersey for just ONE of the themed rounds?
Also, if the normal home jersey is a heritage design (like the Eels current home jersey) then they wouldn't necessarily NEED to do a heritage jersey for heritage round!
