2015 NRL Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Lilyfield Rectangle]

Can the Cowboys and Broncos wear these strips that they are playing in tonight for the remainder of the year!! Only thing is the silly Broncos side panels.

 

[LeagueNut]

Seems odd that none of the FNF teams were wearing WIL jerseys? Or am I missing something?

Only the Cowboys and Storm have done one this season. Cowboys wore heritage for their anniversary match rather than WiL, which I found odd.

I think ANZAC took over WiL this year as the key "marketing opportunity" jersey.

Yeah, yeah, but... The SL Australia jersey was actually awesome. Truly.

Nope. Not at all.

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

And while I'm at it, I would kill for a Queensland Tri-Series jersey, too.

Time for an Origin played in retro-1997 SL jerseys methinks.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Time for a doctor's appointment methinks.

Your f**ked in the head bro.

Just for the record, none of this reflects my true beliefs and it will be a cold day in hell before there is a SL-themed origin. Clearly.

Still. The SL Aus jersey was nice. :sarcasm:

Aus super league jersey was f**ken awesome, except they're all XXXXL so can't picture one that fits....

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Loving the Storm jersey tonight, I'm assuming it's a cross promotion with the Willy Wonka Candy Company?

 

[axl rose]

Would prefer the pinks jerseys then the distasteful anzac ones. But getting rid of all these 'theme' jerseys would be better.

 

[Saint Doc]

What's in the actual f**k is this?

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

NEW-CA-STLE, NEW-CA-STLE!!!!

hang on....

Edit: its a bit sad though that i actually prefer this shade of red to the fluorescent one the knights have taken on recently.

 

[Charlie124]

the Bulldogs latest miscarriage of a jersey.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I like that Souths and Crown donated their chest-sponsors space to a charity for the round; a much nicer touch than just making a jersey with pink bits...

As for the storm, i reckon they could do a lot worse than making the Purple-Pink combo their perminant colours. There is so little distinction between their current Dark Purple and Navy that they may as well not have a design. The pink (or at least softer purple) would create a much better contrast for the jersey.

 

[Rhyno]

What's in the actual f**k is this?

Nice

"The ruby colour represents the Ruby Jubilee Anniversary (80 Years) and takes inspiration from the Bulldogs jersey from 1943 - 46."

"The problems facing the league were minor by world standards. There was the question of lack of players because of the war effort, and Canterbury, for instance, had to change its colours in 1943 because of the ban placed on striped jerseys."

For anyone that knows more about this than me, can you tell me why "stripes" were banned and also why the dogs had to use maroon (i know there was an ink shortage, but white still seems the easier option.)

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Bleach (sodium hydroxide) may have been used in bomb manufacturing, leading to a govt order restricting its use to the war effort?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

A lot of jerseys went away from stripes to chevrons during the depression to save money. I think because the second colour was sewn on the jersey and therefore it saved material.
