2015 NRL Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

What til you pricks see this weekend- cowboys vs knights.

Apologies for the dodgy MS Paint effort, but in attempt to reply to the above posts, iI attempted to design an alternate jersey for newcastle that
- avoided a clash with blue teams
- retained brand recognition / stripes
- looks ok

Thoughts?

This is an idea I came up with a couple of years ago as a Newcastle alternative jersey. It was a way of bringing the main jersey into the alternate design, yet still providing a contrast.

Thats a better effort than most of the jerseys dished up

What happened to the great wests tigers jerseys of 3 or 4 years ago. The current grey thing looks ridiculous!

Also not a fan of all these theme jerseys especially those depicting soldiers and with camo integrated. Just does not sit right with me, i think the only variation to the jersey should be a poppy on every teams gameday jesrsey like british football in thr run up to rememberance sunday

Im not a fan of white jerseys, but that is by far the best ive seen....

That's what I was looking for some months back. That is perfect. White contrast, but maintaining the core design.

Well done.

Fine against eels but That would still clash with Bulldogs and cowboys home jerseys

Given a number of teams use white in their main jerseys using it as an alternate doesn't make a lot of sense. I like the totally different use of a main colour, such as the Knights hi vis jersey as an alternate.

 

[Perth Red]

Like the Canberra kit today. That old gold colour is great. I would love to see any future pirates team use that colour with scarlet red and black.

Best Anzac shirts? I'd go Canberra and panthers. Souths worse.

What's with the new Kangaroos training jersey??

Trying to get sales from confused Union fans?

The Wallaroos? Kangawallabies?

 

[Son of Minto]

Theyve had blue training gear before. Who gives a shit about training gear?

Because it's almost an exact replica of this:

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Probably just means the ARU is going broke and will sell the rights to the Wallabies brand to the NRL for like a new Melbourne franchise or something..... :sarcasm::sarcasm:

 

[Saint Doc]

I'm just surprised with the double chevron branding since the new logo was released in 2012, complete with a Kangaroos kit that had chevrons on the logo, coat of arms, jersey, shorts and socks...to then release this training shirt that looks like your competitor seems strange

Can u honestly say this looks like a kangaroos clinic and not a wallabies one?

 

[hellteam]

That does look very wallabies like, especially because Canterbury is more of a rugby brand. Bit strange because I don't think gold would sell as well as green. Don't think it's much of an issue though really

I must admit when I saw josh Dugan on the news I thought 'who the hell is this rugby bogan?'

 

[Saint Doc]

Not saying it's an issue. It's just odd

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Very odd, probably shouldve added a green V.

Anyways the Wallabies used to have a darker gold and now look more like the Socceroos.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Only half a dozen people will buy a Kangaroos training jersey anyway, regardless of the design.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Honestly, i reckon it just shows how little they care about Rugby....

NRL is trying to position itself as the Australian Game (implicitly, since VFL already claimed that phrase). NRL is the Green and Gold sport, maybe they are trying to take away that image that made the Aussie Union team distinct.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

I'm a huge fan of the Kangaroos gear, especially the stuff made by CCC. This is just a training t-shirt it's not even a jersey. It's only natural that CCC will use the other all the colours for a range of training wear.
Personally it didn't look anything like a *nion event to me.
