2014 NRL Jersey and Sponsorship Discussion pt 2

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Personally i hope they go Pink Panthers. If they did win, the jersey would get them a good bit of exposure just because its so different.

Plus the logo doesnt get lost in the black-on-black combo.

 

[Timmah]

Won't matter tbh. Souths in black, Bulldogs in white. Penrith will be on Mad Monday :sarcasm:

 

[Twatface Magee]

I hope the go the cartoon looking white one.

Umm souths won so there is absolutely no need for the other team to wear an alternate...

 

[hellteam]

Hopefully NRL would let Penrith wear black

This. Unless the black shorts will be an issue. Which they shouldn't be.

Only problem i have with the black strip is that its so ordinary...

If they are in the GF, that jersey will be seen by most of Australia's population.

- The white jersey gets their logo on display
- A pink jersey is totally unique within Australian sport
- As for black; i cant even be bothered to try to list the number of teams that wear black

Its not that theyd have to wear an alternate, it would just be a better choice...

If only Souths could wear their '13 heritage strip. Hate their current abortion of a home and away.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The black strip is their main strip, ordinary or not. It represents the club, it's not about trying to impress someone. The pink strip is ordinary. Unique? Who cares?

Maybe if we're trying to impress someone we should go all out and wear top hat and tails.

This Rabbits jersey vs Bulldogs would be a good looking grand final.

Not necessarily...

Last year they had to to get the telstra logo on the jerseys. This year, they dont NEED to, so they may not bother.

Edit: Im also pretty sure its Delonghi's turn to be Major sponsor. (Which would be a god damn god send; the incorporation is SO MUCH BETTER!!!!)

The logo and numbers show up so much better on that jersey but so do the ugly side panels. I'm so conflicted.

 

[Foreign Legion]

don't like the current souths logo why cant they go back to the old one

If they persist with side panels...

- white numbers
- white bunny
- black sidepanels
- black shorts

Alternate major sponsor on the front but just have one jersey design.

I'd switch black for green side panels, if they are absolutely necessary.

2012 Prelim - they put DeLonghi on the black kit because it was "their turn" so to speak.

As for the big patch - it happens every year, it'll happen again on Sunday.

 

[the beavers]

from the look of the bulldog jersey in the paper today the oversized grand final patch is gone....
just embroidery instead...
shame really I always liked them...all the way back to the Winfield cup badge on the sleeves...it'd a bit of a tradition

 

[Timmah]

Agreed, but not the way it's been the last few years. When we had the torpedo Telstra Premiership logo (02-06) it was in the same shape, instead of a giant ugly patch. Them were the days.
