2015 NRL Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

No. It really doesn't make any sense.

It would make a bit more sense to wear it for the Charity Shield.

Good point, but it is still a great one-off jersey...

I like that they put the building design on the back. Whenever a team puts it on the front, it looks like a mangled c0ck

I would think the Gold theming sucks on any other year. But our year as Premiers? It looks great

As long as it's retained to this year

Souths WCC jersey, looks pretty cool. Would lool better with a white rabbit.

 

[hellteam]

Much better than their usual jerseys

 

[RoosTah]

I'm a Roosters fan, but reckon that's a decent enough looking jersey. That said, I reckon the quality of the ISC jerseys just feels cheap and poor... we have them too and I don't like them. Would prefer something from Addidas tbh.

Looks awesome without the panels.

How come Souths don't use the White rabbit anymore? Don't like the black one, u can't see it

The black one really has poor contrast with the red and green. Souths really should have one jersey, with a White Rabbit and White Numbers, and no side panels. IF they want to distinguish between playing and home and away - change the shorts - Black for Home, White for Away.

The answer is $$ people. 2 jerseys, twice the sponsors

The White Rabbit is used, on the away jersey.

Why? Most souths fans like the black theme for home and white for away. It helps us keep our iconic red and green stripes for home and away whilst offering enough differentiation for fans to choose which one they want to buy. Also gives the sponsors equal opportunity for exposure on fan jerseys.

This. We keep our iconic strip and have two major sponsors happy.

I much prefer this on the shirt with rabbitohs in white

 

[LineBall]

IMO the Souths jersey with the black side panels, black rabbit and black numbers looks like shit. I understand you get more sponsors, more choice, blah, blah, blah. I'm talking about what looks the best.

 

[Patorick]

Black logo and numbers are fine.

They just need a thick white, grey or gold outline.

I was just about to say this!!

Black would be fine if they just outlined it with white. Also the white rabbit would probably benefit from a solid outline

 

[rabbitohs95]

Honestly I reckon Souths would sell so many more jerseys if they were like the WCC jersey (with regular sized stripes) and a white rabbit.

Personally I think we should make the white rabbit red and green stripes the home jersey and the away jersey a completely different design with the black rabbit.

The white rabbit symbolises the history of the club and would make more sense being the home jersey, using the traditional hooped jersey that donned the white rabbit during the 50's until the early 00's.

The black rabbit symbolises the club's new movement from 2007 with Rusty's ownership and would make more sense to be away with a new jersey which could also hold the notion of change. Just my thoughts anyway....

There's a nice nod to England in the main red hoop of our WCS Jersey if you go on the website.

Also according to this http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/2015-nrl-jerseys/ we are up to 62 different jerseys for 16 clubs in 2015. Now I'm all into clubs earning additional revenue (and no-one is being forced to buy all the jerseys of their club) but doesn't this seem like overkill?

absolutely overkill. 7 jerseys for the Cowboys?

That said, i love the Roosters Nines jersey
Our nines jerseys for last year and this have been awesome
I'd like to see hoops as a genuine alternative to the V for a few games a season

 

[Chook Norris]

Jerseys Megastore has them in stock.

Can't find them on here at all, unfortunately: http://jerseys.com.au/product-category/rugby-league/nrl/sydney-roosters?type=jerseys

 

[Timmah]

62 for 16 sure.... but

Take 16 off that figure immediately for Nines, none get reused unless there's extreme circumstances (Broncos I think were it)?

So it's 46 for 16 clubs. That's not *that* bad tbh. 2.5 per club...

Maybe call them as they're on the shelves.
