I like that roosters jersey

This was posted in the Panthers forum earlier today...

The design definitely has nostalgia value but I would have liked a reduction in the number of accent colours. Having five club colours in a pallete is just asking for a fragmented identity down the track. Replacing the three colours with gold and the white stripes with dark grey would have been a nice transition from their current identity. Some Italian soccer teams add red/white/green accents in very small amounts and I wonder whether this would be an interesting look. Might look into putting out a concept, its been a while.

I think the gold was chosen purely for 50th anniversary and never intended to be a club colour so to speak.

Provided that jersey doesn't have too many modern gradient type things and stays more or less true to the 1991 original, i love it.

I said the same last year some time...

They are finally onto a winner with this Black, White and Gold and all they need as a design to match.

Knowing the panthers though, theyll be green and brown by next year...

For a guy who is meant to be the Godfather of RL History an defender of all things heritage, Gus doesnt seem to give too much of a shit about Panthers history ("f*ck it, lets make then blue").

I always find it funny when people say "we need RL people running the game to protect the games history and traditions". Those "RL people" are the ones who change the club jersey ever 2 years and run out 8 different strips in a season.

In contrast, the track record of the "NON-RL people" in the ARLC is fixing all of the comp logos and removing a sponsor to rename the Premiership Trophy "Proven-Summons"

New back sponsor perhaps?

 

[Timmah]

That's what you took from that?

 

[Foreign Legion]

How can penrith keep changing their colours like that?

 

[beagle]

Yes it is but just pointing the difference between the playing and retail strips.

Anal much?

The jersey designs would have been approved around this time last year, and the manufacturing process not much later. Unfortunately, that means that any sponsorship changes , or sponsors that are not finalised, won't be on the retail versions. It also means that some on field jerseys have patches covering old sponsors or that are new sponsors. There are plenty of examples of this on the player issue jerseys, where the retail versions still have old / no sponsors present.

Women in League round coming up next weekend. Most of these posted before, but thought it worth putting them all together.

This week the Warriors are donning theirs v Penrith

Storm

Cowboys

Broncos

Sharks

This is particularly evident with the Sharks, Eels and Titans - the two former had Infinity as sponsor on back top in parts of the season, Parramatta had them withdraw after cap drama and they then appeared on Cronulla's jersey recently. The Titans also signed Trip-a-deal who now appear on back top as well but not on retail version to the best of my knowledge.

Theyre just following St Gus's mood swings...

Corey Payne also put this up on Twitter last night - another of the concepts

 

[Diesel]

Why would any club want to replicate super league jerseys? The Cows, Canterbury and Reds were OK, the rest should never ever see the light of day again.

Maybe Corey Payne is just trolling everyone

All NSWRL/ARL jerseys were good until super league and it's taken nearly two decades to get most of the clubs back to something decent overall again

 

[steggz]

So Penrith is testing the waters with some 'leaks'?

Interestingly, a couple of weeks after Infinity jumped on board the Sharks, the club started selling jersey's with them on the jersey.

That's what you took from that?

Well I am discussing things that are in the thread title aren't I?
