2013 Jersey, Logo, Sponsorship Discussion

That Titans helmet design is utter pants

Gaz's designs are far better than anything they've had so far
Simple, classic designs that their fans would undoubtedly buy en-mass

When clubs release shirts do they do so knowing that their supporters will buy any old shit or do they ask themselves that if they get it right will they flog a shit load more?

I remember the Bulldogs releasing the hoops design as a limited release and it just kept selling and selling and selling. There was a f**king good reason - it was just better and simpler than anything else they'd released in years. The fans reacted accordingly.

It seems most other clubs just didn't work out what they needed to do

I think you got that backwards bro

D'oh! That I did, thanks mate!

Wait til they release the picture for the Eels Away jerseys for 2013, it's well... not what you would expect for a eels jersey and really well ugly. Xblades rep showed me artwork but wasn't allowed to leave me a copy and said the club would release first in Nov/Dec.

Sounds hideous. I've grown to really like the current jerseys.

Exception to the rule I would say.

Why depart from a jersey the defines the Eels? The gold jersey is so unique. Oh, wait, this is the same mob that did the Tigers and Knights disasters. I'd never go with Blades if I ran a team.

Yet they didnt manage to bugger up the Sharks jerseys

I think the club management had more to do with those designs than the manufacturer

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Sharks jersey is shit IMO

Cronulla jersey with white in the middle and the black trim is so awesome.

Or the Dogs for that matter. Club management plays a big part in what comes out but they seem too eager to bend over backwards and either compromise design aestheitc or supply a terrible option in the first place. No other manufacturer in Australia does it to that extent, except adidas with the Titans.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

In the UK clubs, both soccer and RL allow supporters to vote on what jerseys they wear for the upcoming season. Would be good for fans here to have that option too.

 

[Saint Doc]

Peter Wynn score has eels yellow jerseys for $69, cheapest of any jersey. Certainly fits with what the earlier poster said about a new design being quite different.

According to Peter Doust at a members forum this is why the Dragons parted ways with adidas. They wanted to "experiment" with the Red V

Disgusting (on Adidas' part) if true, they wouldn't mess around with Collingwood or Essendon but would spit all over a traditional league identity if given the opportunity. A good move by the Dragons if that's the case. Given that Reebok is a subsidiary of Adidas, I'm surprised to see that Reebok hasn't dished up as much trash.

Oh damn it, I dont like the sounds of this jersey...

I'm glad the Dogs got away from xBlades before they had a chance to ruin. Some argue that CCC have ruined the 'Dogs jerseys but I actually like them. That said, I'd love to see the retro trial strip we worn fulltime, but I don't hate the current ones.

Which is what they're going back to in 2013, thank god.

Blades come up with about 12 designs and the Club picks one, if they don't like any they go back and design more, don't blame it all on the manfacturer.

Is it in this vein?
