2016 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos Discussion

Surely the Cowboys and Storm are taking the piss with these jersey changes. Home jerseys only lasted one season. And both were bloody brilliant compared to some of there previous jerseys. Whilst the new Storm isnt bad, I still think both are step downs..

They (Cows) had the last jersey for two years (14-15); but yeah, they needed to go more OG with the 2016 design, or just keep the same for a bit longer. I really liked the chevron 14/15 jersey compared the the wavey designs they had previously. They weren't far off this year, like most people have said, just needed to go more solid on the grey, not all fancy thickness-changing, pin-stripey.

All the cowboys had to do was take this

And tweak it by extending the blue down the chest and back another 3 inches. Done. Leave everything else as is. Modern take on the 1995. Go nuts on the themed jersey but that is what the home one should be for as long as they are in existence.

What is that a jersey for midgets! the Toyota logo should be at least three times that big

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

I'm going to go out on a limb. I like the Cowboys jersey. And if they play well in it next year, it will be associated with success and more people will like it. Solid colour, fairly neat details.

Roosters and Rabbits 9's jerseys

Both Souths and Easts Nines jerseys are great.

Should be their away jerseys.

Liking the Manly Nines one a bit more too, not as good as this years on though.

A Souths version of 'Block and stripe'! love it.

I agree this should be their away jersey. . Reminds me a lot of the Citibank Norths design & Manly Pepsi jersey.. a simple concept, executed to perfection - nothing un-necessary.

That Roosters 9's is great, very distinct. Souths is nice but a bit plain for a 9's jersey, would make a great regular season away strip.

On closer inspection it looks like the big collar flap is actually its own panel - Canterbury did something similar with their elite rugby jerseys about 1-2 years back, much bigger fan of this than just sublimating a collar in.

year in year out Roosters always have quality jerseys (except for 2010)

 

[hellteam]

Roosters and Rabbits 9's jerseys excellent. Is the pattern on the bottom of the Roosters jersey supposed to represent anything? Or just a pattern

 

[Rhyno]

Roosters jersey looks good but the Rabbithos one looks abit plain

Yeah.. Souths missed a real opportunity there to take on a great clean alternate design that's truly distinct from the home jersey.

It's expected that Nines & training gear can be weird.. and it's a healthy outlet for designers to go nuts in that context. They missed the mark, but gees it's a good look - too good to waste on a 2 day event.

I like how compared to the last Nine's tournament, some of the designs for the 2016 tournament look quite simple but pretty good.

They could still busy it out through the year, perhaps against Canberra.. the Broncos wore the nines jersey against Auckland

Well the Broncos ended up adopting a nines design this year...

LOVE the Souffs one. The Easts one not so much.

I bloody well hope Souths do likewise with their away.

Actually, I seem to recall Souths had a similar jersey as an away strip in the late 1990s or early 2000s, before privatization... so that sort of concept wouldn't be new.

I suppose the Nines could be serving a dual purpose then, extravagant gimmicky designs AND subconsciously trialling ideas that may be picked up in future seasons for alternate kits. ;-) Hopefully Souths fan base give this Nines strip plenty of support.

I like our 9s jumper.
But I don't see any reason to go away from the red and green (cardinal and myrtle) unless the jumper clashes (only happens with raiders) all its a special one off jumper for charity ( WIL, indigenous).

Eels have a Radradra shirt coming on sale tomorrow

Another view of the Roosters jersey. The detailing and texture/pattern is much more apparent. I initially thought it would look plain on field but I think it will look very "9's" if this photo is a faithful representation
