2014 NRL Jersey and Sponsorship Discussion pt 2

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Why do they need a different jersey because the game is in NT? Clear cash grab.

To be fair, its not like people are being forced to buy it. Its a new product offering that, if someone wants to buy, they can.

Its not damaging their core brand because this isnt their main jersey; only a one-off. Also the design is consistent with the clubs colours and focuses on the club logo.

Compared to other jerseys this is not bad, and id argue initiatives such as this benefit the game...

To be fair, it's Parramatta's 3rd jersey this season, the least of any club except Cronulla. Eels have done none of the celebration jerseys i.e. Heritage WiL etc etc

So manly and Auckland just wear the heritage jerseys every second week ey... Good work....

 

[Pierced Soul]

It is the nine's jersey just in blue instead of white

thought it looked familiar ;-)

they've still produced less jersey's in the past 5 years than the warriors have done in the past 2

Lol didn't realise sharks had ZERO jersey sponsors. Is this the first team in about 20 years to be completely bare?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

What about the one logo on sternum

 

[kdalymc]

Haha sorry just noticed. Can it get any smaller ha

They've still got one left! Top middle little sponsor ONE. $2mill plus of real estate space empty though!

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I like the Broncos Heritage jersey....

Its like spitting in the face of every fan that was f*cked over by the Super League (so EVERY fan)

Edit: why are they wearing a white jersey at a home game???

As much as we all would like to see the Sharks relocated to somewhere productive to the NRL...

The Sharks currently have a jersey that should be the wet dream of every League fan that has every bitched about sponsorship boxes (this includes me)...

For every fault the Sharks currently represent, their jersey is bloody gorgeous!!!

Could be for a number of reasons (club or NRL input) but Nike in this country have gotten so bad they are butchering their own designs.

Since the early 2000's I've thought Nike's designs for the Broncos have steadily gotten more and more bland, boring and just half assed. This 97 SL Heritage is proof. That is the most laughable attempt at a jersey I've every seen.

Pathetic Nike & Broncos for signing off on it.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Yeah thanks broncos

Yeah cheers

Ahhh this old debate

I heard Paul Harragon on the radio today saying that the Knights are wearing the hi-vis jersey against Parra tomorrow. Why? I can understand the concept of wearing it in a mining town (Newcastle) but in Parramatta?

Funnily I agree, reason I only own a heritage jersey, I think the sharks board and accountant may have a different view though.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

What I don't get about that Broncos jersey is that it isn't identical to the original. I can understand that happening when clubs change jersey manufacturers, but Brisbane were with Nike for both the original and tonight's jersey.

Haha, yeah. If they had planned this then it would have been impressive...

But since they WANT sponsors, its just sad honestly...

Rabs mentioned it during the broadcast as well. Wearing it more than once a season is shocking.

At least they're not wearing against another orange team this time.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Books suggest sponsorship is healthy.

I just didn't realise anyone paid for blank space.

Oh well, despite all the crap our club is going through, they are still doing better financially this year than some.

It's a pathetic replica.
People forget we had this jersey in 1998 AND won in it. And yeah good point about nike, they "own" the original, why butcher this one...
Tiny marroon "spikes" that might as well not be there, a white back instead of marroon... And the original had blue numbers too...
