There's so much irony in someone using an online platform to criticise another online platform... :lol:
so knights will wear that jersey twice in the 2014 season apparently...
not sure how you can change your NRL approved colour from red to orange, spose all those stupid superman jerseys
Since it's supposed to look like a mining shirt it look great.
No it wouldn't normally make a good footy jersey, but it's supposed to look like a hi vis mining shirt so it looks great.
Some of you guys need to claim down a bit about jersey designs, especially ones that are intended as charity/one off event jerseys.
What is your club if it's not their name, badge and colours?
Players come and go.
Different stadia become "home".
You support the identity of the team
This is not a one off, this is not a charity.
It's a jersey to be worn at least 4 times over 2 years, and they've sold their "soul" to a sponsor the change their colours.
It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for Newcastle
Even though the soul of Newcastle is mining? Better than selling our soul to promote a shit super hero movie.
But hey, if this gets them one step closer to being our major sponsor once Tinkler leaves then I'm all for it.
Mining is part of the identity and ethos of the Hunter, which Newcastle represents. It's a f**king brilliant idea and I'm yet to see one Knights fan express any annoyance or disappointment about it tbh.
Right, this shit is getting out of hand.
As a knights fan I'm disgusted with this move. We have sold our jersey including colours for a sponsorship deal. If NSW Mining want to sponsor us, so be it, they can appear on our jersey but we should never sell our team colours to the highest bidder. Maybe we should also have a green jersey in honour of NIBs long term sponsorship of the club. Disgusted!
I don't mind it at all, think it's a good initiative
