I'm condescending!!! That's rich.
You must be proud mate, you can use Google images. Good for you.
'nuff said!
I don't know who has this perception that you are speaking of bar a few people on here that seem to want one and only one jersey per team every year that never changes. If half the garbage in your pictures didn't happen on a regular basis perhaps the game wouldn't need to have these jerseys or maybe it just says more about how appealing the NRL is that companies want to jump on board with teams.
That garbage does keep going on. The Bubbler, anyone? The fact is the game can be a stinking mess off the field. There is no need to make it look like one on the field. Who has the perception that it is a joke? Do you read the papers? Do you listen to the radio? Do you talk to a cross section of people in society-at-large? Plenty of people do. Alternatively, if you are trapped in the echo chamber of concurring views that can be one's news feed, maybe you don't read/hear people with different points of view.
Americans asked to mirror NRL promotion
The Marvel Comics promotion gets the thumbs up from Set Of Six. Comic book website bamsmackpow.com breathlessly raved: ‘‘Can we see something like this in America soon please? NBA, MLS ... anyone?’’ Comicbook.com urged readers to ‘‘check your local cable provider’’ for matches. Sydney Roosters versus St George Illawarra looked like a colourised 1950s serial at times and, of course, Nate Myles got into the spirit by referring to Ashton Sims as ‘‘Thor’’. One quibble from us – let’s keep the colours in keeping with the club in future. Manly was a bridge too far in more than one sense.
Well, thanks for putting me in my place. The good people at bamsmackpow.com want to see more comic book jerseys, so it must be good. That's the problem with having postmodernism embedded in the English curriculum. Everyone grows up (presumably...) thinking that all viewpoints are equal without assessing them.
You wouldn't have to fire off too many neurons to work out why bamsmackpow.com would like more comic book jerseys. If we had mass executions depicted on NRL jerseys, would you quote breathless ravings from ISIS saying, "Yeah, we need to see more of this".
Anyway. All the trappings of postmodern relativism without any of the rigour.
Not to mention the NRL has advised that there has been around 20,000 jerseys sold. The Raiders one sold extremely well which is a huge effort considering their position this year. In a congested sporting market I for one am happy with the results.
Indeed they did. Indeed, I mentioned that above, although you dismissed is as dribble until you saw fit to restate the fact as your own. And I maintain that this is short term gain at the expense of long term reputational damage. You beg to differ. Fair enough. You and the grown adults at bamsmackpow.com are entitled to hold a different view. Everything is relative, after all.
