2015 NRL Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Foreign Legion]

Can the Warriors just fire their jersey design department. I know that will hurt the NZ economy since there must be about 1 million people in that department, but they need to be stopped.

Lol

1997 or 1998, when Wizard Home Loans took over.

Last year was 1997 on that two tone blue shirt...

Bulldogs Heritage Jersey to be worn next Monday v Dragons. Contains the names of each of the 758 players to play for the club so far. Also to be worn Sunday R20 v Sharks at Belmore.

Much better on the eye on than the ruby anniversary jersey (R19 v Eels).

Ahh yes, unlike today, the sponsor was displayed on the sleeves and above the NSW logo

It's still an eye sore.

- ridiculous 9's jersey with a bulldog face
- strange patterned "alternate" jersey
- vomit worthy ruby anniversary jersey
- clusterf**k combined V and butchers striped heritage

Terrible year of 'special' jerseys for Bulldogs

All the other ones are crap, but this one looks great

It doesn't gel at all.

 

[Timmah]

I won't defend the other three, but I actually like this "clusterf**k" jersey.

 

[Danish]

I don't mind the bulldogs heritage jersey either.

One question... do my eyes deceive me or are those super league style curves on sleeves?

I agree. The Dogs general Blue and White jerseys are pretty good, and have been for some time. Its just their "crazy" alternative jerseys that look terrible (but have probably sold a bucket load of though).

I think you're right there, Danish. Looks like they've also incorporated the curved 'V' jersey they had from 1997 SuperLeague up until the end of the 2013 season.

 

[ek999]

I like the heritage jersey and I also like the red one. It's a part of the Bulldogs history and have always thought it would be a good jersey for ANZAC round.

As for the 9's jersey, it is to drive merch sales and apparently both this years and last years have been two of the better sellers.

 

[ek999]

Sharks have announced Southern Radiology as major sponsor

[ek999]

Also Bluestone sponsorship on the sternum

 

[kdalymc]

Technically I reckon cronulla has had more jerseys than the warriors in the last 4 years due to the sponsor swapping.

 

[Timmah]

They *say* this is a long term deal. Let's hope so.

I think you're right there, Danish. Looks like they've also incorporated the curved 'V' jersey they had from 1997 SuperLeague up until the end of the 2013 season.

V didnt hit the sleeve/shoulders after 2005. But the LARRRRRRRRRRGE vee design did continue on the abortion of a design by CCC.

It looks so funny looking back at the fotos, that thing actually went to the shorts...

 

[insert.pause]

Odd alignment but beggars can't be choosers I suppose, hopefully some stability for a few years now and hopefully it hasn't been undersold relative to other clubs, as Gorman said he wouldn't.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Jersey looks good

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I don't mind this one. It's a bit of a mish-mash, but does a decent job of bringing together a lot of the Bulldogs heritage. The Broncs are traditionally rubbish at heritage, with this year's one probably the only decent one they've done. I dread to think what they would come up with if they were to try and put together 30-odd years of jerseys.

I remember an article in RLW once describing this as "a jersey the Waratahs would be proud to lose in". :lol:

Luckily, the real Origin that year was played on the other side of the divide. *ducks for cover*
