Pink....

Souths jerseys in the flesh:

Those black and white panels on top of the jerseys are atrocious

Those black and white panels on top of the jerseys are atrocious

They look slightly better in a photo than on the drawing board, but still utterly unnecessary.

The side-panels seem to be thinner this year too.. hopefully they're going to shrink further & disappear in the next design.

 

[Rex Terp]

My biggest issue is with the new ISC collars. I know there was something about the players designing them but they look seriously anachronistic. Stick to playing and bring back a decent collar.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I prefer wearing those collars than the t-shirt one that has done the rounds for the last decade or so. V-necks are still the best.

Lol at the same people saying "no need for a white clash jersey" and then saying "ahh wish souths would make that their away"...

They are the one club that has actually a bit of common sence and realises they don't need a "clash/away" jersey at all, but tweak it a bit purely becos of different sponsors etc...

This! I love that almost every time souths play it's in the red and green stripes, it's the same jumper i wore as a kid, my father wore as a kid and his father before him. I'd hate to watch a game and wandering what jumper will we wear today, what design is it, what colours are we going to be today. All the great sporting teams have iconic uniforms- Yankees amd navy blue, Lakers in yellow & purple, greenbay in green &yellow, ferrari in red, barcalona in blue and red. Even in the the English Premier League, the competition that started the alternative strip boom, iconic teams like Liverpool in red, arsenal in red/white, newcastle in black/white try to play in their main strip as much as possible

So we don't have our own 9's jersey?

I won't pretend to know the first thing about the EPL, soccer is a fun sport to play but i could never sit down and watch it. However, as a kid i do remember badgering my mother to buy me an Arsenal jersey for some reason (i literally have no idea why, perhaps i liked the colours or something because i never watched a game). Anyway, thats besides the point. The point is that a quick google image search for "arsenal jerseys" will show you several variations and completely unrelated designs using Red, White, Yellow, Blue, Teal, Gold, Black, Purple, Orange, Pink, Maroon, Navy and Green as primary colours. The only common themes throughout are the Arsenal badge and the "Fly Emirates" sponsor logo.

I dont think the EPL is a good example of teams keeping the same iconic jerseys for any significant amount of time.

 

[Blues Riff]

Are they saying that the NRL requested the Pink strip for the nines?

They look even worse being worn! Those collars are attrotious!

The home jerseys are kept iconic. They go crazy with their away/alternates.

I didnt see the 3 test serious, so i dont know if this is a resent photo.

Is the gold V just a regular part of the Kiwis jersey now??

Because, if so, i love it!!

A point of difference from the far more famous All Blacks and a nice reference to the teams history as the All Golds.

The white V is a point of difference from the All Blacks.

I'd say it was more that we didn't have a 9's jersey ready in time so we had to nominate another one - Go team

They wore the same jersey in all three games and I really liked the look of them. Great stuff

Not sure if they'll retain it going forward, but they should do

Nah, I reckon we never intended to have a nines jersey. Last time we used the regular white strip. The Pink fits the theme of bold exciting jerseys used in the nines.

Bold, yes - Exciting, not a chance

The less pink we see the better in my opinion

God I'm sick of ISC... Always looks so cheap and tacky. Wish a few more teams would get the likes of an Adidas, Nike or Canterbury to do their jerseys. The CCC Roos and Maroons jerseys are both class, but I'd love to see a club jersey made by Adidas in the style of some the union teams.
