2014 Jerseys, Logos & Sponsorship Thread

[LJC]

The West Tigers main strip is finally the style they should have chosen when they merged!

It's great and with some good results on the field this jumper(V style) will go gang busters in merchandise sales!

Pennies really have had a missed opportunity not using brown anymore. Whatever their reasons, and I'm sure there are valid ones, they should've changed back after SL or at least after this new rebranding

the storm just need to find a clever, subtle way of incorporating them.

Or at least heritage. It would be a big seller.

i know people like reminiscing about brown jerseys, but how many of you have brown shirts or pants you wear regularly?

whilst i think a heritage jersey of brown would look cool, i don't see too many people in general who like wearing brown

i suspect that most teams will have 9's jerseys for the $$

The brown is ridiculous and only pushed by people who think it's a good idea cause it was a bad idea 40 years ago.

I hate the bearcat logo.

The change wasn't related to Super League however? It was in 1991 before SL even was thought of.

Considering the club won there first Grand Final in the licorice all sorts jersey I would imagine its got a bit more "history" to it than the "chocolate" soldiers one.

I assume they changed because the chocolate soldiers just wasn't selling.

I remember reading once that Penrith's actual district colours were sky blue and black, but because the Sharks got in first, they had to change? (or is this a myth?)

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Kiwi cricket fans love the brown.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Brown is a pretty ugly colour in most peoples eyes. The only reason most of you would be pushing for that jersey would be nostalgia (not that thats a bad thing), but that nostalgia would only be shared amongst hard core fans.

This is why i was hopeful that they would fully embrace the black and gold that was rumoured (the colours on their training shirts).

To me, this is a nice throwback to the brown jersey (they could have used one of their old designs in this new colour), but it has a nicer look to it than the old chocolate soldier jersey.

In the old days a lot of teams from the area were called nepean and their colours were green and gold...across a lot of sports... they all seemed to start getting called Penrith and wearing the licorice colours about the time the league club did... don't know the story behind the change....

From what I have read in publications about Penrith's history, it was all about a fresh change - in terms of sales, the club went from one of the least popular to most popular on the back of going to the licorice allsorts. Being the frontrunners and then premiers in the first season probably helped too...

When the club was formed for the old second division (first season was 1963), the colours were blue and white. Upon promotion in 1966 for the 1967 season, obviously there were already teams with that scheme... the story goes that the brown was largely based on the colours of the high school (or something like that).

Black would be a natural colour for a Panthers jersey. After all panthers are black.

I also remember there was quite a lot of history and negative connotations about the "chocolate" soldiers name for the club, as they had been easybeats for the majority of there existence up until that time.

I have a Calvin Klein t-shirt that is brown and looks f**king awesome next to black. Black and brown combined work really well together.

Still waiting on the Dragons to release a Nine's jersey.
