looks terrible.. the idea behind it isnt so bad, and in that case they could use it as a training jersey, or even make their players polo's look like that :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
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.
Valid point.
I just believe that fans should wear the colours of their football club, not football clubs wearing the colours their fans wear to work.
I could mildly stomach it if it was done as recognition to their mining background. But it was done as part of a sponsorship deal.
It is ABSOLUTELY no different to the parra m&m's jersey, the bulldogs avatar and Star Wars jersey, the tigers 007 jersey and the storm and rabbits Superman jerseys. It's a sell out. Sure, those clubs could say they changed their jerseys to resonate with their fans who have a rich history of going to the movies and eating m&m's - but that's not why they did it and it's not why Newcastle did it.
Would an NFL, NBA or EPL club do this? Hell no. And we should be upholding the values of the world's best sporting leagues.
I don't like movie jerseys. I don't like camo jerseys. And I don't like hi-vis mining shirt jerseys
Right, this shit is getting out of hand.

It was a while back (maybe 2000), the Broncos turned up to in 2002enny Park in an Aqua coloured strip. Socks, shorts, the full kit. Something to do with a sponsor's corporate colour (Ergon?)
Anyway, they looked like a bunch of bridesmaids.
That jersey debuted at the 7s in 1995 and iirc it had something to do with John Ribot turning 40.
A similar colour scheme was used against Manly at Brookie in 1998 and made a few apperance In 2002.... notably against Melbourne at OP and the Warriors at mt. SmarT.
Right, this shit is getting out of hand.
Make it the new away jersey, damn it....
I HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!!!!
Nice design and logo.
Why is it orange??
Because they're the colours of the hi vis shirts they wear at the mines
Fuscia & muave.broncos wore the aqua against manly at brookie in 98 cos there were complaints about the 2 teams jersey's clashing in round one when they kicked off the unified comp. why they picked aqua i'll never know but at least it didnt clash
