2015 NRL Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Sponsors seem to ruin the Panthers jersey moreso than other teams; since its in black and they dont have a signature design, the big red OAK and the Yellow sleeve boxes steal the show.

Panthers main jersey should look to do more in intergrating the sponsors to the clubs colours (If they go with gold, make the sleeve boxes match the metalic gold and trim OAK in the colour rather than the white they use now).
Or they could just ditch black as their main colour and use solid pink/gold/teal as their signiture look (these colours would be far more distinct than Black...)

So you want the sponsors to change colours in the their logos to suit the jersey? Yeah, good luck finding a company that will do that.

Well done Penrith and sponsors. I'll wear one of those with pride. The subtle rising sun theme is great.
Note the absence of teal and how good the black looks with gold

That is one good looking Jersey.Well done Panthers

It's unlikely that OAK and Hertz would change their corporate colours. Isn't the whole point of advertising to be noticed? In a perfect world, all teams would have compatible sponsorship. St George are pretty lucky in that regard. For most of us though, these eyesores are the compromise we have to make.
You keep complaining about our jerseys Doc, but really the solid black is quite distinctive from a distance and close up on TV the feint horizontal stripes are uniquely Penrith.

As good as some look, I wish all NRL clubs would play in their normal home or away jerseys for the week with just the RSL logo (or similar) in the old manufacturers spot in the centre of the jersey or above the NRL shield. I really don't like how commercial it has become. I appreciate some clubs put a percentage of the sales towards military charities, but they are still turning a profit from their sale.

Agree, less is more imo, a lot of the ANZAC jerseys look tacky.

Just ordered mine. First jersey I've got since 2010

That Panthers jersey is top notch. Tip my hat to the club and their sponsors.

Wonder if Melbourne will be doing one though.

Gus won't mind me posting these. I just noticed the red poppy. None of this would be possible with sponsors.

oh i LIKE this!

A simple poppy in the centre of the chest where the jersey maker logo usually is would suffice IMO. Simple and classy.

Oh and the kiwi flag should be flying the other way if its being displayed on the right arm of the Penrith Jersey..........

Nothing wrong with Storm just selling their home jersey with the badge in it like they've always had since 2009.

Why....

 

[Cumberland Throw]

How long till every other team jumps on the band wagon

Maybe if the NRL CEO s actually attended the meetings at start of year

They could have come up with a game wide uniform tribute

Would of been awesome to see every team without sponsors like the panthers are doing for one game

But with every club doing their own thing seems a bit of a mish mash.

And some doing nothing at all

 

[Puntastic]

Not really the guy to wax lyrical about jerseys, but I'm pretty happy with the Anzac jersey. The sponsors dropping off is a class act. I know a few don't like the shadows, but I think they're a subtle touch, and fitting. Proud of the club, well done.

 

[kdalymc]

Why....

Military uniforms- When worn on the right sleeve, it is considered proper to reverse the design so that the union is at the observer's right to suggest that the flag is flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

To be fair though, the jersey is certainly not a military uniform.

Thays what im hoping.

More worried that they will try to do one and butcher it completely

Tried to buy my Panthers ANZAC jersey today and they are all sold out.

Club has indicated they are looking at additional shipments.

Meanwhile, Brisbane have put this gem out there:
