2013 Jersey, Logo, Sponsorship Discussion

[ShaneO85]

Just a collage I made of what Rugby have been up to lately. I am assuming that ugly thing at the bottom right is a supporters top for the British and Irish Lions tour down under.

by bottom right i assume you mean bottom left?... that thing is hideous.. what a clusterf@#k of a design... you can see what they were going for but it missed by a mile... would have been better as a half red, half gold (either front and back or left and right) and then discretely add the 3 flags in somewhere like the colar or the cuffs

At least the England jerseys give hope to the Kangaroos jersey not having piping all over it.

Kooga and Adidas could join and produce this and split the profits.

Melbourne Storm have today confirmed that the club will wear an exciting new home and away jersey in 2013.
The new design has delivered a more powerful look, ensuring the Storm brand will be recognisable whether the boys are playing home or away next season.
Multiple design options were created, with a final choice being a result of an extensive consultative process, including significant input from the players leadership group.
The final design places a greater emphasis on the club’s signature ‘lightning bolt’, continuing the tradition of a ‘V’ on the front of both jersey’s to represent the club’s Victorian heritage.
Melbourne Storm also worked closely with major partner Crown, to incorporate their iconic logo on the front of these contemporary new look jerseys.
The club will release the design for the jersey this Saturday 1 December before it goes on sale in retail outlets the following week.
ALL fans have an EXCLUSIVE opportunity to see the design and purchase the jersey before the general public.

Both positives as long as they don't over clutter the design.

About time they smartened up. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

Liking seeing the "integrating Crown" line. Hopefully that's true integration.

The Manly V stinks.

I agree...Manly can still have a new design and keep the old stripes?something like this

 

[Timmah]

Don't think the second design would be permitted - all jersey sponsorship must be horizontal on chest.

 

[BunniesMan]

Pleased the Storm are changing. Awful design this year. Hopefully the genius they pay to make a better one does it properly.

Just wondering why.

Shut the f**k up.

Storm need to ditch the thunderbolts and go back to mainly navy blue. Purple sucks!

 

[Diesel]

At least the Crown sponsor is going to be incorporated into the design. Ill hold my judgement til Saturday however we might have seen the last of that big square Crown logo

 

[100%green]

I wouldn't mind seeing the new logo in each individual club colours on their playing jerseys.

Said this since the launch. Wold be much better!!!

Any jersey that involves ideas from the players never ends well. Exibit A - the Dragons Wolverine jersey.

What's the story behind that?

for a tour jersey i don't mind this kind of concept... or for someone with split loyalties... i knew people in the early to mid 90-s who would buy one canberra and one brisbane jersey, cut them in half and both have a split jersey... doubt you could do it now though with all the different templates, etc...

the lightning bolts are great imo if done properly not the crap they have done the last few years.. the early v/bolts were great... i personally think they shoulkd do a 99 inspired home strip mostly navy with purple and gold higlights and a mostly gold away... i doubt it will happen though... and i tend to think i must be alone on liking gold jerseys...
