2016 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos Discussion

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Saying two things:
1) The design didn't change that much over a considerable period of time (contra your claim of too many different designs)

It is a massive stretch to say that "without the colours, A and B are recognisably the same team"

Not even mentioning the 11 year gap between the 2 where the gold was instead used for side-panels and weird collar things!!!

2) I would say that their colours are the brand. Look at English rugby league or football. Teams can keep their colours and make completely different designs, but they are still recognisable as the teams. Yes, some teams will never be like that, but there are enough examples of regular (every season!) changes.

This is my entire point!!!!

The Broncos are still well ahead of most teams in terms of consistent branding, but when the only thing making them "the Broncos" is their colours.... and then they change their colours, there is absolutely nothing of them left.

They cant just say "our jersey is vaguely like one we wore 10 years ago, fans will know this". It shows that they either dont understand what their brand is or they just dont give a shit....

The Broncos jersey looks like it has a cummerbund over the top of it when paired with maroon shorts.

Nope.

From 9th March 2015

Melbourne Storm is delighted to announce it has entered into a partnership with SpotJobs.com, which will see the company become a major partner of the Club and its inaugural front neck jersey sponsor until the end of 2016.

Still didn't last the contract

Just noticed the Cowboys were wearing what looks to be like a special members jersey last night against the Warriors? I can't find any information on it though. Anyone else seen anything?

 

[Timmah]

Seems very odd for them to wear it but not actually explain why

 

[Rufio]

Vossy said during commentary it had all the players names on it that had played premiership games for the Cowboys.

Thanks for that. I didn't catch the game, but couldn't find anything on their website or social media sites either. Thanks for letting me know.

Why are Manly still wearing the Coco Joy jerseys - wasn't the sponsorship deemed null and void??

 

[Timmah]

They're taking it to the supreme court. Probably also not worth the time and money to remove it for the remaining games anyway.

Why are Manly still wearing the Coco Joy jerseys - wasn't the sponsorship deemed null and void??

My understanding is that Coco Joy wasn't paying up for the sponsorship (so they were in breach of the sponsorship contract), and that so long as Manly kept wearing the Coco Joy name, it keeps it that way - ie Manly fulfilling their end of the contract by wearing it.

I guess the Manly lawyers see it as a shrewd move to keep the legal "high ground" while it's all under dispute. Anyone know when the contract ends?

 

[Klim]

Manly has always had troublesome sponsors.

Gold Coast signed Aquis to 5 more years

5 years? That's massive. Well done GC

So it looks like Sharks are wearing a marketing jersey on Saturday night.

http://www.sharks.com.au/news/2016/08/23/sharks_to_join_force.html

Why would a club want to wear their home jersey in the last home game of the year, or for a senior player's last home game before retirement?

Ha you beat me to it.

It's a sad indictment that when this jersey was released, I thought it was the most heinous thing to ever be worn on a footy field.

By today's standards it's pretty simple and classy jersey with good sponsor integration.
