2013 Jersey, Logo, Sponsorship Discussion

[mn_tibor]

Even if less advertising spots meant prices were higher, doesn't mean those sponsors could afford or wished to pay that higher rate for advertising. Having more sponsor spaces for less value probably attracts more sponsors total to the game. Having less/more expensive may mean teams can't find any sponsors.

New Super Rugby jerseys for 2013 for the NZ teams (with pictures!):

I like the idea of the member-unions for each Super Rugby team being inscribed inside the collar, but not so sure about the embossed drawings. The designs are nice & basic though. Shame that some NRL teams can't do basic designs.

Very simple NFL-like designs. Looks good but they lack character.

Shouldn't be when we have 4 more places to sell advertising and the primary being 5 times the size. Obviously the NRL clubs can't sell their own worth.

Sponsorship isn't limited to jerseys.

The AFL also have two more clubs...

It was a relative measure.... What does 18 v 16 mean when it is club average?

If anything GWS and GCS bring down the average as they have no supporter base.

In what way?

They both attracted sponsorship quickly and easily.

Meanwhile we've had long-established clubs struggling to get sponsors lined up til mid-season in some cases.

If that's the case I stand by my original statement... Obviously the NRL clubs can't sell their own worth.

Do they?

We forget that for a company wanting rugby league exposure, the blues, maroons, kangaroos, kiwis and to a lesser extent All Stars are also competing for sponsorship dollars

It would seem away jersey confirmed

New St Helens jersey. Not sure about the black piping.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

new Wigan jersey. Nice. Apparently Wigan are in a cycle of two traditional jerseys and an experimental one next year... This one is the second one, last years was cherry and white with narrow hoops.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

Ohhh... Manly have a snazzy new away jersey... Complete with mini sponsor under the collar.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

Yikes... This is different!!!!

 

[Frailty]

Yikes... This is different!!!!

WTF?

BTW, how come they don't have the NRL Premiership Badge... This jersey (and the sharks training jersey) both have the corporate logo.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Not a fan at all. Wouldn't be a bad jersey for another team with a different identity.

 

[GAZF]

St Helens: Black unnceessary
Wigan: NICE
Manly: Expected, I don't like the V
Eels: Looks like an Eels-Dogs merger

 

[GAZF]

Also strange to see that the NRL corporate logo is on the Eels jersey. Could replicas be different to on-field jerseys?

My guess is that it's just a very early mock up and that the replicas will have the premiership badge too.

Just noticed that the Blades logos are turned 90 degrees on the sleeves of the Eels jersey, not great for their visibility.
