Saints spend so much banging on about the BIG RED V, yet sell out for an alternate strip when they have absolutely no clash.
Sigh.
And sure, they merged, so if Saints are that hard up for coin or an alt jersey, why not just the Illawarra jersey, shorts and sox for away?
Is it that hard?
For mine, clubs like Saints, Souths, Roosters, Manly, Parramatta and Bulldogs should be proud to wear the 'more' traditional strip - yes I know over periods of time, Saints and Dogs wore the bandages, and they are fine alt strips too IMO. But come on. Why do they mess about all the time. The manufacturers probably are to blame, but again, come on.
Cronulla's traditional strip is a winner too, good to see they're back to it.
Love Newcastle's vertical stripes too.
Melbourne, Brisbane, Titans...meh. Canberra...f**k off that dinky V thing. You're 'the Green Machine'.
Gold Coast should be made to change their colours AND their logo.
As for Panthers, Warriors, Cowboys...they've all had more strips than I've had hot breakfasts. They can do what they what. I actually like the Panthers ones for 2014, so would be nice if they stuck with 'em for a bit. And the Warriors were on to a winner with the black and white, but then they added the red (and my 2 and 4 year olds - when looking at footy cards or the TV - think they are Easts when they wear the predominately white strip).
I like clean hoops or Vs.
And I will be howled down because the clubs 'need' the cash supposedly, but FMD, when is enough enough with these sponsors. It's gone beyond a joke.
In fact, I want the NRL to hire GAZF too. Better design than all the bloody jersey makers combined.
