2018 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

And just to add to that, for a club with so many designs, how could they not have an aNZac jersey..particularly considering they play on the actual day!

They are the only NZ team. They play in Anzac Day, half of the word has their country in it and they couldn’t even come up with a jersey for the day

Have they ever had an ANZAC Jersey?

I don't mind them not. If anything I'd prefer the other clubs go back to just having the ANZAC logo on the chest or shoulder or something, and do away with poppies and silhouettes etc

It would be more dignified. I also don't mind using war era designs (and that could possibly extend beyond WW2 despite other eras not necessarily having the same degree of rationing at the time).

Yes 2015 they had one that looked like it was stained glass. Was a really nice shirt in my opinion.

Souths jersey tonight looks good. Hope they abandon the black and white panels sooner rather than later

100th anniversary, made sense.

Personally I much prefer what the Warriors did with just the single poppy than what we did with a full poppy V.

Single poppy on the sleeve or chest and the ANZAC Appeal logo above the logo should be all that is needed.

Another game another clash.

Bizarre the Broncos wore the pale grey jersey vs the Dogs at ANZ last year but not tonight...

 

[Stallion]

That Souths jumper worn tonight should be their main one for sure! Makes one wonder why the marketing people cannot see the wisdom and positivity from sticking to such a great jumper !?

What? How did they clash?

They didn’t clash, but they didn’t contrast well either.

Broncos in their away or heritage would have been much easier on the eye

Black numbers on a dark jersey looked ridiculous. Unreadable on the wide shots on TV

 

[Zigwaa]

Yeah def no clash. People think has to be light vs dark or it's a clash these days.

The bulk of my below post is summarised from elsewhere but I think holds true to some of the discussions here.

People use the same words - "clash" and "contrast" to mean different things. It's like when we say ‘a red car’. You have to be specific to avoid confusion between say, a fire-engine red vs a burgundy or maroon colour.

People will say “Souths clashed with Brisbane last night" and they are (correctly) told they're wrong, because visually it's true, they don’t clash. What they should say is that “Souths don’t contrast with Brisbane”, which is entirely correct, and can form the basis of a correct argument in support of alternate or 'clash' jerseys.

Basically the term "clash jersey" is biased. It implies we don't need jerseys to contract, just not to clash. The purpose of clash jerseys should be to maximise contrast rather than reduce clash.

We need to recognize that use of the word ‘clash’ implies there is no need for a contrast. The merit of whether we need totally contrasting jumper match-ups is another topic, but I think adding the term contrast to our debates here would be helpful.

Contrast is the better term. I wonder if a lack of understanding of the word clash by the NRL and clubs is leading to inadequate contrast.

 

[mistertaylor]

i think the NRL should implement a rule that the team logo needs to be bigger than the sponsorship logo.

Cowboys have done that for this year's jersey!

 

[Timmah]

Don't, you'll set @beave off again

 

[hellteam]

Several times last night in tight situations it was difficult to tell the teams apart. Souths also passed the ball to the broncos on at least two occasions. It wasn't the worst I've seen but it was difficult.

If one team had white pants (as AFL do) it would have been fine but it was all similar.

 

[gzerounian]

Ive pushed for a darker green and red for souths before but i think last night it was too dark..not enough clash between the two colours. I think this was because of all the text. Made the jersey look like one colour. Green side panels and no shoulder strips is a no brainer...they have to go to that. Also apologies to the warriors for my previous post...their jersey had a single red poppy on it..hats off very classy.
