2011 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Saint Doc]

Nothing yet, the only photo I've seen has Asotasi and Hornby in media gear. Might pop up on FOX Sports News?

Doubt it timmah. In the 10 year history of charity shield jerseys, they've never been released earlier than a week before, often not released until a couple of days before or even the day of the game!

You don't get it do you...

RL is players are spread across a field not along. Compare that to soccer, hockey, basketball etc. You can know a position by the players place on the field (90% of the time).

In RL a winger can come in on the first tackle and take a scoot, this does not mean he is a hooker to the untrained eye who might think the guy who picks the ball up is the dummy half. You could almost use that kind of example with any position in RL depending on the time of the game, the tackle count and the teams style of play.

I shouldn't need to explain soccer or hockey (basically the same kind of layout along the field).

Basketball has a PG who has the ball at the start of a possession, G's along the perimeter, and PF/C in the paint. Simple to grasp with 5 players on a court/team.

The NFL can make it work because the game is easy to grasp as the roles of individuals are simple (but as a team are complicated) plus you have the benefit of stoppage rather than rolling play with set positions each play.

AFL is the 1 exception when it comes to positions along the field as the game is a sh*tfight for the ball anyway it is hard to follow with or without numbers.

RL you can have a 2nd rower in the centres, a Fullback or Lock playing 1st receiver, 2nd rowers up front, 6 and 7 switching between scrums/receiving etc.

I think you point makes a good case for having personalised numbers.

Players in soccer, basketball can go anywhere on the field/court just as in rugby league.

Anyone who takes an interest in the game wouldn't take long to learn what a winger, centre, fullback, hooker does.

Has anyone checked out the ESL strips. Some look like Ken Done designed them. They sting your eyes.

 

[_Johnsy]

Couldn't agree more.
I wonder if the people that strongly oppose this sort of thing are the ones that whinge about Gallop and the state of our game...because this is a way to increase popularity and revenue.

No just not a fan, however I would certainly not be a vocal critic should it be introduced.

Not quite, Castleford's is choice:

I never buy non-Dragons jerseys but I may break that rule for Castleford. Reminds me of the old Marist Bros Pagewood kit I wore with panache

Is this the best kit in RL? Would have to go close.

Compare it to Wests Tigers.....

 

[LineBall]

Have you seen the Wigan kits for 2011. Truly horrible.

 

[skeepe]

Huddersfield home and Leeds and Widnes away are frightfully bad.

That said, nothing comes close to beating the new Stade Francais rugby jersey:

Love it!

Wouldn't want my team to wear it, but still, love it!

Scott Dureau.... superstar.....

If there was ever an adverisment for the massive gap between the NRL ans ESL, it is right there.

As a jersey woeful but as a bit of fanwear fine. Wouldn't like to see my team run out and play in it in it but if I was a fan I would buy one.

 

[Shorty]

It's easy to grasp what each position does. It didn't take long for me. What took a while was tactics, schemes and execution.

I suppose I see your point, actually.
In terms of actual coaching etc I found it pretty confusing at first.

Edit: I see SF is already on this page, LOL.
