2017 Jerseys, Logos, Sponsor Discussion

All I'll say is Souths Superman jersey was a huge seller when it was released , hence why 4 years on they are still doing a Superman jersey.

 

[Munted]

That's utterly absurd. People will wear them because they like them.

Geez I wouldn't say utterly absurd.
As if it isn't slightly odd that two different teams now have the same character as their special jersey over 2 seasons? How bout next year St George become spider man and roosters become iron man. Continue the merry go round.

Fans will wear the jersey with their club logo on it. I think you're reading far too much into the character angle.

I'm a Manly fan and we've gone through 3 different superheroes.
For me the jerseys do nothing for me so I wouldn't purchase one but the amount of kids you see at the games wearing these jerseys is huge! By the clubs releasing a new design each time more and more people are buying them. If you have the same superhero each time the merch sales wont rise. Exactly the same as to when clubs update their home/away jerseys constantly.

I understand the method behind changing the superheroes, driving incremental revenue for the teams via more jersey sales.
I dont have to agree with it, just like i dont agree with the jerseys becoming billboards.

At some point parents will stop buying new jersey's each year, especially if in Sydney.
Buy a new jersey each year, or cover the mortgage

Jerseys are expensive I agree. I buy one every few years . Souths issue about 8 jerseys a year which I personally think is pathetic. Would like to see max 4 jerseys a year worn

They don't do WIL and rarely, if ever do ANZAC.

So...off the top of my head in 2016: home, away, 9's, Indigenous, Superman vs Batman. Can't remember if they even did Heritage.

Yeah don't think you've done a heritage for a couple of years and in 2015 you did a white ANZAC day jersey that you lost to Canberra in Cairns.

Pretty sure there wasn't a Charity Shield jersey either.

Unfortunately kids keep growing so we have to keep buying them jerseys!

 

[PaulyTom]

Yeah u were right, only 4 jersey used through regular season.

No team does '8 jerseys a year' I think Warriors have come closest with 6 and since then the NRL has tried to cap the number teams do

[Klim]

That's a commemorative piece, should be counted as memorabilia and not as a playing jersey.

 

[beave]

So it's 8 and not 9 then.

Cheers.

 

[myrrh ken]

Why don't we have sponsors doing good tv ads anymore. Remember these? They were the best and made me feel like drinking a beer at age 10

Souths and Storm are both sponsored by Crown I've never heard anyone complain about it once.
Im not so sure there's a huge difference between this and what your saying.

Last year there was home, away, 9s, indigenous, superman.
No ANZAC, WIL, heritage.

Probably a lot less than other clubs.

 

[GAZF]

Sponsorship is one thing but substitution of identity is another. If one team wears a Spider-Man jersey, even over a couple of season, you could look back at old footage and say "hey, I remember when Newcastle did that".

Souths are a bit different in that they still retain the red and green hoops for their Superman designs, they look cluttered, but not unrecognisable and cluttered.

 

[PaulyTom]

So it's 8 and not 9 then.

Cheers.

9 cowboys jerseys in one year. Wow.

Why not do a gay Pride Jersey?

A cocksarking Cowboy perhaps?
