I think you'll find Newcastle's 2023 jerseys will have a much better NIB integration into the design. The pstel-lime green box logo on the jerseys this year seems to be a placeholder, as the actual new NIB logo doesn't require the green box. The new logo features on the Knights' website and phone app as just a white logo sitting on the blue background.
I tend to think that the new logo hadn't been unveiled at the time the jerseys needed to be signed off upon, so the current hideous one was decided to be used for 2022.
Much like how Brisbane last year had the old Kia logo on their kits despite the new one already being in wide use before the NRL season had kicked off.
Thank fkn christ, NIB finally listened, it wouldn't have been an issue if they sponsored the raiders or souffs, but its been a decade of shithouse jerseys because they were unwilling to intergrate with the knights...
I'm glad to hear of this especially since I've carried on for over 5 years about it... mind you they can still fk it up by having it cover the design like theyve done with the inagural '88 jersey...
Take a leaf out of the roosters playbook, put your major sponsor just beneath your design, people will fork out big dollabucks if it doesn't impead the design, some thing that the dragons fail to utilise! keep the bank off the redV facepalm
