2013 Jersey, Logo & Sponsorship Thread II

[flippikat]

it is symmetrical, which is the main thing

Bingo. For mine, jerseys are more aesthetically pleasing if they're symmetrical.

The colour combination is spot-on too.

As mentioned above, it's a shame that Souths have taken a colour combination that's naturally prone to blurring and made it murkier for this round.

On the topic of future trends:

Check out the colours in these two pictures. Its kind of a worn look to it (kind of hipster-sheek really ).
Anyway, this is a similar thing to what souths have gone for in their indigenous jumper, and i imagine this will become a regular thing on jerseys over the next few years.

If im right, i dont know how this will effect the regular jerseys, but it would vastly improve the white jerseys clubs trot out.

I did like the Broncos jersey last night. Just replace the Aboriginal art with maroon and it would be a perfect regular jersey

Meh just abolish white jerseys...

GAZ, what's your opinion on the Broncs indigenous jersey? I'm a fan, insofar as the indigenous artwork and the predominant colour (gold) seem to have been delineated fairly cleanly.

Better than most, its more subtle than most (Rabbitohs, Knights, Sea-Eagles, Dragons, Storm, Sharks, ...). I prefer that colour blocking to (last years) regular jerseys (which had the same template) as well - the sidepanel is more continuous up the side of the jersey rather than have the panels under the arms connecting at a narrow point with the panels that start from the base of the collar.

On the contrary, I think there are a few trends that indicate a return to simplicity is happening.

Funnily enough, the Tigers are making a step in the right direction with the 2014 home and away designs. Funny considering the Tigers were one of the clubs that had some of the worst busy designs of the last decade.

The swish on the side of next years Tigers jerseys is a tad unnecessary, but that's an element like side-panels that hopefully will go out of favour in the next 5 years.

The toughest design element to get rid of will be the piping of CCC (Canterbury) jerseys. While their current template is a hell of a lot better than their horrid 'teardrop' jerseys, the piping still ruins some designs.
The Warriors current jersey would look brilliant without all the piping.

If CCC can't change the template, I won't mind one bit if the Bulldogs & Warriors take their current jersey designs to a manufacturer that can do it without piping.

I meant more along the lines of original trends rather than the retro movement in general. That applies to modifications of classic designs such as piping all over the Dogs, side paneling on Souths, Eels, Sharks, Panthers and (new) Tigers designs. I like what the Knights, Roosters, Dragons (not the shorts or socks) have done though.

The CCC template is a mess (although the Dogs have done about the best they could with it, Warriors is a potentially good design butchered by piping) and I honestly don't see the excessive piping providing a significant performance boost.

I don't mind texturing but it needs to be done right (ie. it should mean something in the context of the club). Gritty/grungy textures don't really have significance to any club. I like the retro quilt stitching on the Warriors "Wellington" jersey and I think it would look great on Souths/Roosters/Dogs, etc... Other ideas are very subtle chainmailing or a scratched armour effect (like the Rutgers helmets) for the Knights, tribal marks for the Warriors (done to an extent on a lot of PI national jerseys), geometric patterns which represent an area (I've already done this for the Raiders, the triangular pattern of AAMI park for the Storm), fur, scales, etc... The key is to make it subtle; it should be a mark of attention to detail that is imperceptible from a distance, rather than something that compromises simplistic design.

One of my entries into the Broncos U20's jersey comp. The yellow border is the mane of the Bronco Logo.

sadly that is actually better than the first grade jersey.

I thought it was so the under 20's players that couldn't grow beards could fit in with the real men.

That broncos jersey reminds me of this guy

I would like to see Gazf's submission.

You have to be a Broncos member to enter.

You don't have to be a broncos member to enter you just get unlimited entries if your are one.

Sorry this probably belongs in the jerseys/mockups/anything thread but I couldn't find it.


But how good do these "heritage hoodies" in the top right look! Based on old jerseys and logos. Brilliant, hope they have all teams...

It's never made sense to me.

In rugby league, a jersey has always been what you wear to a game. More so than other sports...a lot of other codes many people just wear a scarf or cap or polo, but rugby league has always been big on jerseys. And clubs push jerseys too as their number one merchandise item.

But it's a winter sport, and these days with no long sleeve options and polyester material...it's cold!!

These hoodies look great! Warm, retro, but fully supporting your club. Can't believe its taken this long

Call me a liar but I had that idea a few years back (they've come up with it independently of course). I think its great they're doing it, would definitely buy an early 90's Raiders one.

I can't find the hoodies on the website. Any ideas how to find it?

I have no doubt you did!

Yeah I looked too but I'd say they just haven't updated the website. They have a physical store in canberra , just call them, I'm sure they could do it over the phone

Thanks SD. To the phones!
