2013 Jersey, Logo, Sponsorship Discussion

[Pierced Soul]

i too will admit to being a moron

 

[Saint Doc]

Never noticed. Kinda impressed!

I was a moron up until a couple of years ago when I Kiwi pointed it out to me on an AB's jersey.

 

[_Johnsy]

I am astounded so many people didn't see it. It was the first thing I noticed, albeit that was about 15 years ago & the eyesight was a fair bit better then.

 

[Timmah]

I'm in the small minority of fans that doesn't mind this. Being a fan of the Jets and not of an NRL side I miss out on the excitement of a new jersey each year so I'm limited to the new rep jerseys that come out each year.

Just checking you're aware this isn't a jersey, just a training shirt?

Is the u20s logo having a Toyota logo on top like the nrl is having the telstra logo on top. Also, I had an idea for the warriors jersey based on the black white red colour scheme. I had Maori patterns up one of the sleeves and the red southern cross on one of the sides. It was predominately black with a white away. When I find the pic of it I will post it

Apparently sponsor of U20's isn't confirmed, the big rumour being Holden will take it over along with SOO and Kangaroos.

Apparently this season Telstra is sponsoring the Warriors when playing in Australia and Vodafone in NZ

:lol: Someone sold you up the river on that one.

Deffo... There isn't a coat of arms on the jersey, which indicates that it's only a training jersey ;-)

Thanks for posting those

No probs mate!

I never noticed the Kiwi until now you mention it, in the white empty space of C's.

I like subtle symbol inclusions like that. Not in the case of the new Titans jersey use of the titans helmet, good idea but very poorly executed.

Holy shit?! Me either?!

All these years and I never noticed. What has been seen cannot be unseen. You learn something new every day lol

 

[Prometheus]

Seriously?

It has always looked like three kiwis in circles to me. Until I saw people referring to Canterbury as "CCC", I had no idea they were supposed to be C's.

[Canard]

Now thinking back I remember kiwi's referring to it as the "Three Kiwis" and thinking WTF are they talking about.

I always just thought it was just three C's for something like the last 20 years.

 

[sheepbender]

I lived in NZ for a good while and it took me years to realise they were kiwis even when it was on the All Blacks jerseys. And yea I felt dumb, but the companies been around a long time, I saw it over a decade ago, so I'm amazed it's taken so many others til now too see it.

No Timmah he is quite correct on that one, news of it came out probably late Nov/Early Dec last year

Warriors will have Vodafone on the jersey when playing in NZ but in Australia it will be different

 

[gzerounian]

The warriors should do something like this as their away jersey.

Keep the black, red and white one as their home jersey and do a blue, red and green version for the away jersey.

Very cool how the V looks like the top of the warriors head.

full home and away kit

Geez, c'mon Timmah, get it right. The story came with a link and everything.

Vodafone Warriors to become Telstra Warriors in Australia

The Vodafone Warriors have announced a change to their jersey sponsorship for all matches played in Australia from the 2013 NRL season.

The change has been made as a result of Vodafone's $840 million purchase of the New Zealand arm of Telstra, TelstraClear, in November.

"Bringing the two brands together as one will be a crucial ongoing strategy for us and this small change is part of the first step. It's a proud moment for us and one that we hope the loyal fans will embrace" says Vodafone Sponsorship Manager Guy Spindley.

Analysts have said this change is a direct result of the recent announcement regarding Telstra's renewed partnership with the Australian Rugby League Commission. It has always been a matter of discord that the Vodafone brand was advertised in a Telstra-sponsored competition and the Warriors jersey change is understood to have been a key bargaining chip.

While Vodafone will continue to be displayed on Warriors jerseys for New Zealand matches, Spindley isn't ruling out further changes in the future. "As the brands continue to come closer together here in New Zealand there's a chance we may review the overall sponsorship arrangement but there's no rush - good things take time."

I sure hope not, seemingly Holden is sponsoring the u20s this year.
