2016 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos Discussion

[Timmah]

I knew Star Athletic were on board but can clubs change their kit after one season? Thibk the broncos only had their gradient home stip for one year.

Broncos never had a gradient home strip, they *have* a gradient away strip. This year's gradient away was based on the solid version of the home strip they had the past two seasons where it was a two colour blocks separated by a diagonal across the chest. I believe they had it for two seasons 2013-14 before changing to the current one... which lets face it looks like it may be superceded by their brilliant heritage top.

As for the Storm, like Collingwood don't be surprised if they just take over the same design for a season or two, regardless if BLK created it.

If we end up signing with Stormtech i'm kind of hoping we get a different away jersey.

I know it's tradition yada yada but red and green hoops get tiring every single week. Why not a predominately black/white jersey with a little bit of red and green. Similar to the Auckland Nines Jersey from this year.

Keep the home jersey (without stupid side panels) and make the away jersey different. So long as it isn't ugly like the 2002 one.

No. Get rid of side panels only. Have one Souths Jersey home and away. If you get "bored" with the red and green stripes, go support someone else.

I know what you're getting at but surely you're smart enough to know that an away jersey is a requirement. I think Souths should ditch the panels, have the hoops jersey and wear it most games, then have a white or black jersey (similar to their indigenous or ANZAC kit maybe?) as a clash kit when you play say, Canberra. Worn 2-3 times max a year, if that.

Yes. Sigh. I know.

Maybe an Illawarra Steelers jersey with green replacing the white hoop and Fujitsu white sponsor.

 

[Timmah]

Yuck, no

 

[Saint Doc]

Anything along these lines would be perfect for Souths as an away jersey.

It won't happen though due to Souths consistently having separate home/away sponsors, meaning they wear their "away" at every away game

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Yuck, no

My entire thoughts on 'away' jerseys.

 

[Timmah]

I know Membership merchandise doesn't always mean alot but I did notice the Eels' stuff has gone distinctly navy this season instead of the royal blue they normally use:

 

[beave]

Geez, looks very NQ-esque

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Yeah wtf! Could be a rendering issue? Yet, they published it?

 

[Foreign Legion]

Piggy backing off success

 

[Timmah]

Apparently member feedback was that they wanted a darker blue from the conversations I've had with some fans. Odd.

 

[some11]

Thought it was Cows merch until I saw the logo.

Getting on the Cowboys bandwagon - everyone loves a winner

As a non-parramatta fan, I hope they stick with royal blue. They looked really weird in the mid-2000s with their navy blue scheme.

 

[Johnny88]

As a parra fan I hate the navy blue. As far as I know the home jersey is the same for 2016 the away will change and they will wear the 86 jersey that they wore this year more often apparently.

I agree - it just seems weird.

Another thing I can't understand is why the NRL let the Titans in with blue & yellow.

They should've kept their bid colours of teal & orange

 

[Knightmare]

As a non-parramatta fan, I hope they stick with royal blue. They looked really weird in the mid-2000s with their navy blue scheme.

Agreed. The blue with yellow stripes was fine, but the majority of time they wore that jersey and, in most light (and from a distance) it looked like their colours were yellow and black instead.

 

[kdalymc]

The question I want answered is- when the f are the eels going to bring back the 90s jersey as a heritage.
Mmm all them stripessssss
