2014 Jerseys, Logos & Sponsorship Thread

Thanks Joker Wild for proving my point

IMO I prefer the NRL logo over the NRL Premiership logo as it's more basic

I felt the green was too strong on some of the jerseys - hopefully the Premiership logo makes it less jarring next year.

Warriors getting there own logo is the dumbest f**ken idea ever.
There's one comp, there should be one logo...

He didnt and you are both hoplessly ignorant about navigation if you think he did.

If you held a print of the logo in front of you and stood to the north of it (you have to turn to face south), the rooster faces east. Likewise, if you stand to the west of it (face east), the rooster is looking north.

Thank you GAZ

The direction of something depends on the relation of where you are standing. Unlike magnatised needles, humans don't always face North

If you point to the left when facing South you are pointing East

That's all I was saying Prometheus.

This. Goes against having one uniform design for all NRL logos as well.

If a Rooster facing north lays an egg...

Where to begin?

• The detailing on the Panther still needs cleaning up.
• Facial details are tiny and add no depth to the front-on face, something the current logo actually manages to do.
• Front leg looks tacked on top of the body as an afterthought
• Two shades of teal
• The P and A in the wordmark do not fit together
• Wordmark appears to change slant from left to right, because of the overly angled A
• S doesn't register as an s because its cut 3/4 down.
• BIG fat keyline around the panther

Those facial details are ridiculously tiny, theres unnecessary slithers of black on the tail and feet the front leg looks tacked on over the top of the rest of the body, face looks flat, unnc

I think the fact that they've listened to some marketing clown and removed "Penrith" from the logo speaks volumes about how horribly out of touch they are with today's fan base.

The new text is much better but the head/face on that panther is seriously letting it down along with the front legs.

I get what they are doing and am all for it, but the execution of it is a fail. The leaping panther is a winner in my eyes but f**k me if that's the best panther the designer could come up with then he needs to give kellogs back his graphic arts degree..........

Silver logo looks legit

 

[Diesel]

Slight changes to the outline of the Vodafone logo, not sure if the outline makes the logo bigger or if it's just bigger than this year. Black and white NRL Premiership logo for the Warriors too. 2014 is the 3rd year for this design so wasn't expecting a jersey change yet. Looks legit to me too

 

[gzerounian]

A first glimpse at the RIDICULOUS Grand Final badge...Shame on you NRL..its just lazyness! Surely you can create the exact same badge in the shape of an emblem.

The NRL is being that tight arse millionaire that finds the cheapest way to get things done

Reminds me of the old Uncle Scrooge magazines

Why is the Eastern Suburbs rooster always facing west ?

Actually the Rooster faces Dexter (right), and is in the standard orientation for Charges. In heraldry, the dexter is from the bearer's point of view, not the viewers point of view. Image the logo painted on a shield that you're holding in front of you. What's on your right, is on your viewer's left, and the "left" and "right" is described from your point of view. It is normal for the charge to face to the Dexter.

http://heraldry.sca.org/armory/primer/directions.html

This classic Roosters logo, for example: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Eastern_Suburbs_Roosters_logo_1978.jpg

is described with the blazon: Argent, a bordure azure, with a close coq crowing gules.

I don't mention which way the c**k faces because that would be assumed it faces Dexter. (the words "Eastern Suburbs" in azure are not described here because they part of the emblazon.

Guys, yes the Rooster faces "East". It's based on Heraldry, which as with anything that derives from 11th century aristocracy, has a very very formal descriptive language.

Imagine the designs as painted on a knight's shield. The "directions" (not north, south, east, and west, but chief, base, dexter, and sinister) are described from the point of the bearer of the arms, not the viewer.

Why thank you. Useless knowledge acquisition finally proved not so useless.
