Love Holden so I am liking the jersey. Jersey easily better than our current one too.

Another thing wrong with this, we've taken off an Aussie company and replaced it with an american company. ON THE JERSEY OF THE NATIONAL TEAM. A disgrace.

VB is no more an Australian owned company than Holden is

f**king pillock

Oh right. You mean like Pirtek on the Nz jersey? And Malaysian airlines before that?

Or Gillette on the England jersey?

Nice one

 

[Dogs Of War]

What's so Aussie ownership wise about vb? A South African company owns cub.

Really like the roo's jersey, might have to buy one

You would think that for a photo shoot to promote the new NSW jersey they could have found a car that had New South Wales on the licence plate rather than South Australia. Especially as the photo was taken in NSW and is being used to advertise origin.

I missed that and had to go back to look. It's funny shit if it wasn't so bad, NSW jersey, with a VB sponsor with pictures taken in front of a car with SA plates... Armature hour, but it's giving me a good laugh

I can live with both the NSW and Australian jerseys.

For the amount of money VB and Holden pay, they have the right to have their sponsors in colour. It's just the way league is these days.

My only criticism is the chevrons on the Kangaroo jersey is too compressed. But in my opinion, CCC haven't butchered it like they have other jerseys.

Classic.

Love it and will buy one.

what does everyone think about the money? it seems good to me.

i see the author tries to compare the deal with V8's and AFL. doesn't seem like apples and apples to me.

the AFL comparison seems good. we're getting half as much for origin, a few kangaroos games and the 20's. toyota apparently pays twice as much to sponsor the whole AFL premiership? and holden sponsors the V8 drivers championship and we're getting twice as much as that.

i think they've done ok here...thoughts?

Don't think it's that great.

According to that article the State of Origin rights were worth over $2,000,000 and the Australian jersey was worth $400,00 both of which I think were undersold. So that only leaves around $800,000 - $900,000 for U20's naming rights and sleeves sponsor for all 16 NYC jerseys.

Can live with the jersey, not happy about the Coat of Arms at all.

2 million a year is pretty light. I reckon Origin is worth that a year on it's own...

I'm guessing that Gallen is wearing the replica jersey, rather than the official players cut jersey that'll be worn by representatives in matches.

Federal guidelines on the use of the coat of arms prevent the official coat of arms from being used on merchandise. You will find that replica Wallabies and Soccerroos jerseys have similar modified coats of arms.

I realise that older replica jerseys from various sports used the full coat of arms. I can only assume either this rule is new or enforcement of the rule has been stepped up in recent times.

VB may be South African owned, but at least VB is mainly made for the Australian market, whereas Holden's are errrrrr, errrrrr.

Sorry BM, wasn't able to fabricate something to back up your mistake.

 

[LESStar58]

Another look - full kit

I didn't think the greatest jersey in world sport could get any worse... it just did with that sponsorship placement. Looks TERRIBLE. And calling them the Holden Kangaroos? f**k off!

 

[Perth Red]

$5mill ayear (for how long?) isn't to be sniffed at but considering Victoria was willing to pay that just to host 1 game a year it isn't a great deal of money either for the amount of exposure that SOO in particular brings. The Kangaroo jersey is pretty worthless at the moment give how few games and what poor profile the National side has.

On its own it looks a good deal but if you want to compare it to other deals it looks like Holden got themselves a bargain ie
NAB AFL pre season comp $3million a year
Qantas Wallabies sponsorship $5million a year
