2019 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

[Diesel]

Any reason the Warriors are playing in their black away jersey at home?

Or potentially only having the retail jerseys, polos and training gear with sponsors. On-field jerseys either sponsor-less or 1 main.

But the companies paying big money to be sponsors are doing so to have players seen wearing their brand on the field.

I think with the subject of sponsorship and how it affects uniforms we're just going around in circles and always will. Sponsor logos aren't going away. The best we can hope for is that each team has a collection of sponsors that a) are reputable, b) align somehow with the club's brand and culture and c) are willing to meet in the middle regarding to how their branding is displayed on jerseys, etc. There needs to be a happy medium where the sponsor logos are clearly visible without completely dominating the team's identity. If all teams can achieve that, I think we'll be doing well.

I think the general attitude the Warriors have to jerseys is “because f**k you, that’s why”!

Watching the community shield in the uk recently, Man City wore a retro kit. Couldn't stop wondering how amazing it would be if jerseys had nothing other than the club logo on them. Boat has sailed long ago, but one can fantasize.

Penrith did a few years ago with their Anzac jersey. Looked really special with no sponsors.

It was a one off in fairness.



Even if that did happen, sponsors wouldnt go anywhere. It would just mean more exposure. and even more reason to advertise.

What I dont understand is why replica jerseys need logos. If players have to wear them, fans should have a choice when buying not to have sponsors on them.

Brisbane's NRLW jersey appearing in their online shop:

thats a cute top. I still think the women should play in leggings/performance pants. Women in footy shorts in my opinion is about as bad a look as fashion can get.

It is a game of rugby league not a fashion show.

There’s no reason for NRLW players to wear anything different to NRL players other than the obvious differences in cut and fit.

I just gave a good reason. Women in footy shorts is bad fashion. Heck, men in footy shorts is bad fashion. They look like Reg Regan which isn’t a good look for women.

I strongly dislike the Knights away jersey. They look like the dragons

Bulldogs again in their away jerseys. Taking the Warriors “f**k you” approach to jersey selection.

Why does it matter?

Why does it matter?

Looking good matters, sex sells, does anyone buy an ugly car. They are trying to build the popularity of the sport. More men will watch if they look good and more women will play if they are wearing outfits that they would as a minimum be seen dead in.

You do realise that is the opposite of what women's sport is about now? My cousin turned down selection in rep teams in touch footballer because she refused to play in lycra. Women's sport is no longer about looking sexy for men!

Okay, well, go out looking ugly then and stay a charity case for ever.

So men's Rugby League can rely on skill and toughness but women's Rugby League needs to be sexy?

What about the girls who are not comfortable in tights or leggings, do we ban them from playing?

Mens sports outfits are sexy to women because they are designed for men. Footy shorts are designed by men for men. I have literally never seen a woman wearing footy shorts because they are for men and women look stupid in them but I have seen probably a million women wearing performance pants because they are designed for women by women and they are comfortable in them. (I am not talking about the touch footy short cut ones but the full leggings).
I truely believe a lot more men would watch or more men who watch a bit would watch a bit more. And in addition more women would be prepared to play. Looking like a men in man shorts is probably a barrier to entry for a lot of women.

It’s women’s rugby league, all due respect to the women but they’re rugby league players not yoga teachers.
If men don’t find female rugby league players sexy I don’t think them wearing skin tight trousers is going to change anything.

The FIFA word Cup was a pretty epic event for female sport watched by by men and all the women were wearing shorts despite having body types that would have suited leggings.
