Can't believe Manly are willingly keeping that green apple sticker on the front of their jerseys when the sponsor wants nothing to do with them.

 

[Saint Doc]

Stating the obvious I know, but clearly Manly want the $3million.
Taking the logo off would damage any claims they have to the money.
This will end with an out of court settlement I'd imagine

Pffft

This mob sound like a bunch of amateurs. Imagine Man City or Red Bulls bowing to them. Why should Manly be any different?

Coco Joy actually think being on the jersey for free is damaging their brand...


Cant believe these clubs are so dumb to fall for these fly by night sponsors, who know they only have to get 6 month brand exposure for their job to be done...

They sign up for 3 years, stop payments after 6 months, and manly can't re posses the intangible

How many times has the NRL seen it -

Owned yes, financially guranteed by them... who knows

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yep

FAL Healthy Beverages is a division of a global company based in the Middle East and owned by a Saudi Sheihk, Fahad Mohammed Al-Athel. In January, the senior vice-president of FAL Holdings, Khaled Refaat, was a guest at Manly training at their North Narrabeen base.

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

So I don't know what was happening with the Sharks alternate jerseys last night, but players had different sleeves (some blue and some black).

IIRC thats years alternative was that same except with black sleeve. Maybe they ran out of this years batch and reused a few old ones

(happens all the time in Reserves, but it would be pretty amateur if it actually happened in First Grade...)

Yeh, thats my read into it...

I reckon Coco wanted to antagonise Manly into covering up the logo, then using that as evidence of Manly breaking the contract.

If the company isnt insolvent, there will need to be a settlement at the least...

McFadden not only had major sponsorship of the raiders in 1990 but naming rights sponsorship of Canberra Stadium so remained in the printed draw for the whole season even after being removed from the jerseys.

Gizmodo!

Is this the one you're talking about?

Yep. I've got one too!

Wigan are letting fans vote on next year's home jersey

Members get an email link
Fans can go in to the retail store to vote (smart...likely to buy something while they're there!)

I like the 2 on the right.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Both checkers my fav

 

[Diesel]

Does that Wigan jersey have less sponsors on it than normal or am I just getting used to the NRL ones have sponsorship all over the jersey, front, sleeves, between the badges on the front, 2 on the back etc

 

[yakstorm]

That's about right for Wigan. The Warriors and Warrington still only have sponsors on front, sleeve and back. Far better than some SL clubs which then also have chest or neck sponsors.

2nd from left only one that looks remotely like a RL strip
