2016 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos Discussion

[Nuke]

To think, in the process of this being released:

* Someone had this as an idea
* Someone then designed it
* Someone then favoured it (it made it down to a best 10 or so ideas that were then presented to the decision makers)
* It was then chosen by a different someone / some people
* It was approved

Not one of the people in any of the above steps stopped it. For curiosity's sake, I'd love to see all the ideas that lost out to this one and have remained as sketches / designs on a computer somewhere.

Its clearly awful, but its a training jersey. Who f**king cares.

 

[Perth Red]

It's part of the kangaroo brand and will be seen in public. We should care!

 

[Timmah]

And while it doesn't suit us, the jersey elite in this thread, there are probably thousands of bogans it will appeal to.

Who. Cares.

 

[forward pass]

Where do we start?

Kangaroos logo in the middle of the Southern cross???
Canterbury logo over the union jack???
Commonwealth star is almost around the side of the jersey??
Why add the pointless green and gold lower section??
Different colour sleeve trims??
The collar???

omg - that is so bad it is embarrassing.

There's a perfect opportunity to release heaps of training jerseys with this tacky shit on them, or flog movies and toys, or take up the cause du jour. Clubs and the NRL could make a shedload of money on merchandising without diluting the on-field brand.

In reality though, they'd still do both.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Thanks beave. That looks great.

Would be better if the grey part was a solid block.

 

[beave]

Highly disagree.

They went for a 1995 retro look and IMO they've nailed it the best of any modern retro we've ever had.

Even then they couldn't get the sponsor in the right position!

Pretty much my thoughts too. On-field jerseys should be iconic and something a club wears for years and years and becomes part of the club's brand. In 20yrs time, we should be able to watch a game and know exactly who is playing who. As it presently is, one week from the next it's getting hard to tell with all the different jerseys and colours.

Keep the on-field jerseys pretty much the same year in, year out (with clubs using their 'main' jersey as much as possible), and let the clubs go wild with crazy jersey designs for the Nines, off-field 'training jerseys', even alternate jerseys to some extent.

What the Kangaroos are doing here, although I have no liking of that particular design, is the right idea as far as I'm concerned. Playing jersey is iconic and mostly untouched for decades, yet they can still release different designs for supporters to buy if they so wish.

The grey strips are far thinner, reminds me of an inkjet printer running out of ink...

 

[LESStar58]

LMAO

Bad enough the union jack is on the flag let alone kangaroos merch.

Hideous.

i would love to see sales figures at the end of the year for this jersey. only people i see buying it are 1/ collectors 2/ little kids 3/ people doing it for a laugh

this will be the first jersey released at an elite level which sells less than 100 units

I think youll be surprised at the number of bogans that wear shit like this...
