[***MH***]

Cook Islands RLWC13 jersey

Classy, kudos to them for integrating the sponsor.

 

[ash the bash]

Nice.

 

[Frailty]

What was the logo that the Sharks had on their jerseys on Sunday where Luxbet normally went?

The Pajama Foundation.

Due to the advertising laws in NZ, Luxbet couldn't be shown.

 

[Timmah]

Yup... same as Broncos replacing Sportingbet and Storm replacing Crown.

If Souths play in NZ, the Star will change to Souths Cares.

 

[Patorick]

Odd.

Manly did in round one:

 

[Timmah]

Very interesting. It's against NZ gambling laws to display advertising for overseas gambling companies/venues.

Surprised NZ haven't asked for a please explain re that jersey given other clubs have been forced into changes.

 

[LeagueNut]

It's purely a guess, but maybe Eden Park had some sort of exemption that hung around after the Rugby Onion World Cup?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Maybe Centrebet have a NZ arm in their business?

Or maybe they got served and it wont happen again. Cause I remember a few years ago the Newcastle Jets had to tape over their logo when they were sponsored by Centrebet.

Must be Ok to have NZ ones over there though since the Warriors have Skycity as a sponsor.
Goes to show that we forget sometimes that they ARE another country and the old adage of if your in another country you have to obey it's laws.

It's probably a stadium agreement at Mt Smart because SkyCity sponsor the Warriors.

The first game this year was at Eden Park.

 

[Tyler Durden]

So you can watch TV without that annoying JAAAAAAAAIMEEEEEE RODGERS whine every 10 minutes.

God bless you New Zealand.

To clarify, overseas gambling entities cannot advertise within NZ. I.e. Australian gambling orgs/casinos cannot advertise in NZ. No such restrictions within NZ.

 

[Timmah]

Yes I'm a nerd. Jerseys worn after R23

 

[Campion]

nice! i appreciate your work (fellow stats nerd)

 

[Frailty]

I think its disgraceful Newcastle has been allowed to wear their 'Main' jersey only once.

 

[some11]

They should be applauded, whoever designed the 'bra' jersey is a f**king idiot.

 

[GAZF]

Not this again. Yes it looks terrible but rules is rules. Enforce them and clubs will put more thought into what they choose so we'll see less dogshit served up each year.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

It's a bad kit.

They should boot it and stick with the stripes.

Next year sharkies home jersey is the hoops kit. Hope they wear it every match

Someone didn't watch Dark Knight Rises

Newie are doing the right thing. They shouldn't have to wear a shit jersey because of some ridiculous rule made up purely to sell more merchandise.
