The Game 2021 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos etc

[Timmah]

Is it just me or is the nib logo bigger on the home jersey?

Looking at the cut, it looks like they've uploaded the women's jersey and tagged it men's. The sleeves look like a women's cut. Might even just be the angle, who knows

The nib logo is getting bigger every year.
If the trend continues they'll need to wear the away jersey when playing the Raiders

So Classic has picked up both teams, wonder if they might pick up the Refs as well now.

Storm have just announced a five year partnership with Castore. Wasn’t expecting that.

From the article: "The kit also demonstrates Castore’s desire to be different with audacious designs, and we are confident fans will welcome our creativity when it hits the shelves." I'm nervous.

I wonder what that could mean...

Diagonal stripes?

Quartered jersey?

Sleeveless?!?

The mind boggles.....

im also nervous, 5 year deal too so if bad it'll be for a while

or it could mean 5 years of great jerseys, who knows. Their premium sportwear looks pretty good atleast.

Roosters are with them too aren't they?

The Storm have the worst colours in the comp.

just own it and come up with the most audacious outfit that you can.

 

[Frailty]

I'm not normal one to complain about sponsors or the 'needless' boxes or the 'why can't they integrate into the jersey'.... But the Knights are surely taking the piss. It is getting bigger and is almost a third of the front of the jersey now.

As for Storm's deal with Castore - none of their soccer designs look too over the top so we could be in for a pleasant surprise. I do have a touch of yellow makes it's way back into the design.

Roosters? Cool.. I hope they try the white jersey with red & blue striped yoke (from the mid 90s) for an away/alternate.

Pre-Superleague war 1990s designs are so hot right now - and rightly so. It was a golden era of design.

All the marketing material for 2021 membership points to yellow returning to the jersey. I just hope it's the proper yellow and not the anaemic, highlighter yellow the club seems to love using for digital media and membership stuff in recent years.

Castore looks to be splashing a bit of cash around in Australia - two NRL teams and possibly two AFL teams (but only one strongly rumoured so far - West Coast). A big task for a relatively new brand and with them signing a five year deal with Storm (and five years with the Roosters, too) I hope they're not going too big too quickly. How many $500 jackets do they think they can sell to get a return?

O’Neills won a case against Adidas for the use of three stripes, but I had a feeling that was in Ireland only.

I like that they’re trying the three stripes here.

I wish teams would do heritage jerseys without commemorative details like on the back of that Panthers jersey. Looks a bit tacky. If you absolutely have to do it put it inside the collar.

Otherwise the Panthers look great.

'tis truly a thing of beauty *nods*

Ain't it awesome that so many clubs are getting into the spirit of their early-mid 90s look?

There's just something so great about those designs.
