Wait til you see them in real life, they are utterly atrocious.

The response on FB from the fans was about 80% negative to 20% positive. I don't think these will be a big seller tbh.

The only issue most have with it (that I've seen) is the overwhelming size of the Toyota logo.

Otherwise they look great IMO.

How is what i said over dramatic?

Have you actually seen them in real life? Because I have and they are shit.

The nrl and cowboys logos are lost in the yellow stripes and the toyota logo is too big. The graphic version of it above make it look not too bad but in reality it looks terrible.


Apologies on having a differing opinion to you, I'll make sure I get your permission from now on before I post.....:roll:

As a panthers supporter and member I'm happy to have the pink jersey as an alternate to the black. The panthers own the pink jersey and for once may develop a sense of identity having all black home and pink away. I'm looking forward to seeing the heritage strip for '14 and have heard there will be a white jersey with the panther motif on the front as an alternate jersey. I can't see any chance that we would need an alternate jersey as there is not a team out there that both the black or pink if needed would clash with. Perhaps the rumoured white jersey with gold trim is a training shirt or nines jersey.

Actually "that dinky V thing" and the blue, yellow and white have more of a right to be on a jersey that represents a Canberra team then the lime green.

The only reason that the lime green was ever incorporated into our colour scheme is because we didn't want to clash with Parramatta and to a lesser extent Newtown, so we went through Canberra's RL history and found a distinct colour of significance which was Hall's (the first RL team in the ACT) lime green.

Though these days lime green is a huge part of Canberra's identity at the time making it the main colour for a team that represents the area was for the most part considered a very out there idea.

I know the history and I know why it's on there, but it doesn't make it right.

Yeah it looks kinda weird but it is accurate to the early-mid 90's manly design

How is it wrong that the Raiders wanted to show a little bit more of our history in Canberra then we normally do?

It's not as if they are bad looking jerseys or they are a bad representation of our club so I don't see the big deal.

There's nothing wrong with Canberra's chevron (other than the fact that it is truncated). But how good do the Raiders look with a full front of green? It's iconic.

Don't get me wrong I love the old armbands just as much as every other Raiders fan does, but just because it's iconic and very well loved doesn't mean that we shouldn't have a change from time to time or try to add another iconic look to the Raiders brand.

Really liking the Roosters jersey's. Only gripe is that big blue blocky background in the third option to enhance the white steggles logo. That would be a fantastic jersey bar that background imo. Maybe just have the steggles font in a yellow or something so it stands out without needing a blue block background?

If Canberra played in the all lime jersey sans chevron, they wouldn't need an alt strip.

Going forward, any new team should be made by the NRL to use colours that don't clash with anyone. How the titans were allowed to use blue and yellow (regardless of shade/tone) when para and nth qld used them, is beyond me.

Just saw a picture of the dogs under 20's jersey. Had pixels of blue instead of a solid colour. Looked awful.
