The Game 2021 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos etc

[Bring back John Fifita]

I know it's Photoshop, but Gallagher has been named as front of jersey sponsor for the Kangaroos.

Noel or Liam?

admittedly I had heard of the business but didn’t know anything about them. A quick google tells me they’re valued at $23b. Reckon that’s a certain level of ‘prestige’ over a now shuttered car company

Cheers.

Got me wondering...

Wasn't there talk last season of an unsolicited approach to the NRL from some financial conglomerate to buy a stake in the NRL??

I remember Paul Kent blowing up about it like a 9 year old child - nothing really new there. But wondering if this is the mob who made the approach...??

Parra with Macron could be interesting - they are using collars for at least one rugby team

Not a parra fan, but that would make a great home and away kit for Parramatta! Minus the green, sub in the heritage - current home as the alternative!!!

Gallagher's aren't really in the realm of investing in companies like that, in Australia in particular, they are focused on growing their insurance division, including sports insurance, and in recent times have bought out the likes of OAMPS who were a significant player in the junior sports space.

I'm not sure how much cash (if any) Gallagher's has paid for the Kangaroos spot, but the new deal with the NRL will save the code as a whole millions.

Cheers mate, appreciate the insight.

Gallagher's

Dogs wouldn't gimme any sympathy extension for my charity team. Didn't have one game in 2020 and still charged us full price

I LOL’d. Holden prestige

Fair enough, prestige was the wrong word

More iconic maybe? a nicer looking logo atleast and more "Australian"
Idk.. I just though Gallagher's was another bryndens lawyers

I can't believe anyone would buy that pink Jersey unless you're wearing it to the mardi gras.

Oh look at what we have here. A dinosaur.

It's a colour. Build a f%^kin' bridge.

Here's the Dogs home in the flesh that Classic template is a shocker.

Unfortunately that's classic Classic... They seem to find a way to take a great design and just leave you going "that doesn't quite look right".

Hopefully for that Bulldogs jersey, once worn the blue shoulders are less prominent and you can't see the white pipping at the ends of the lower V.

I wonder if Laundy is happy being so low on the front of the kit...

You're right there is always something off with their designs and templets. Any manufacturer should be able to hit it out of the ball park with a basic design like the Dogs.

It's interesting to note that it appears they are using a different template for the Dragons.

That's a shocker.... I blame the clubs who sign off on these abortions.

In fairness, I'm sure the club signed off on the below mock up, not what has been delivered:

First look of the Rabbitohs members jersey have been popping up on social media. Either the Classic template has changed or the members jersey is a different design to the home and away.

TBF, the actual jersey will look much more like that on a person.

It's laid out flat while the mock up isn't.

Those Bulldogs jerseys are giving me some serious Kmart vibes.

St George heritage jersey in the flesh. Confirms that the Dragons have a different jersey template from Classic compared to Souths and Canterbury.

Dragons deal was signed later, so maybe their gear is what Classic is moving to...

The jersey material must be pretty thin, you can actually see the Modus lower back sponsorship in that photo...
