The Dragons are delighted to welcome KFC as Red V partners for the 2023 Telstra Premiership season.

The KFC logo will be displayed below the playing numbers on the back of Dragons players' jerseys this year.

"KFC is a proud supporter of footy, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to champion the passion of fans through our partnership with the Dragons," said Sally Spriggs, CMO KFC Australia.

"As we approach the season kick-off for 2023, KFC looks forward to celebrating the Dragons’ achievements with fans and connecting them with the sport (and food) they love."

Dragons CEO Ryan Webb was pleased to welcome KFC as jersey sponsors for the coming season.

"This is a partnership which will result in great business outcomes for both organisations," Webb said.

"To have such a strong, international brand in KFC joining our club shows there is belief in where we are heading.

"As we continue to strengthen our pathways systems and bring more local juniors through to our NRL squad with the benefit of our Dragons Academy, partnerships such as this one with KFC will only help bolster our strength as a club and as a business."

Could so easily have had KFC in a red font, which is entirely common for their branding...

Dave Taylor might make a comeback with the Dragon then as I heard he was quite partial to the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices especially after training.

We are all going to give this a run in the gameday threads. @2weeks will probably change it to "did somebody say LSD?"

The pink sells in penrith, they wont divert from that for a while, i do have that away jersey from early 2000s, its one if my favourites, nice to see it back again

Making a version of it in pink would be even better.

Change the top half to a shade of light pink and there you go, you've got a workable new design that's inspired by an old one without being a replica, and that'd look pretty good in it's own right.

So are the sharks wearing a training jersey because their others aren’t ready yet or is it a ‘f**k the nrl’ thing?

I was thinking the same a few years back... i wanted them to male a licorice allsorts in reverse, so the stripes were on the shoulders, and black was on the torso... if they did that, fade tge stripes a bit, and turn it that light shade of pink you suggested, i think its a winner

Put the NRL badge on it and run on. Perfect home jersey for the Sharks.

 

[big hit!]

I've seen Canterbury's new jersey in their pathways games, and it's taking a bit of getting used to. I'm not really liking it.

 

[hellteam]

Does Harvey Norman really need to be plastered over the Indigenous artwork on the back of the jersey

 

[Perth Red]

The colours of the Maori kit would make a nice nrl brand for a new club!

 

[It's Been Done]

The Ref's jerseys in the All Stars game looks like it's based on Parramatta's 1981 jersey with the yellow making it look closer to the A-League's Wellington Phoenix

So are the sharks wearing a training jersey because their others aren’t ready yet or is it a ‘f**k the nrl’ thing?

In the past the NRL has been pretty casual about training jerseys in trials - I remember the Warriors using training jerseys a few times.

I thought that the NRL may have been a bit more stringent given that the trial games this year are part of a competition, but I really don't mind - actually I think it's good to see unique strips in the pre-season, especially since we don't get the fashion show of a Nines tournament anymore.

Oh, and I can absolutely see this training jersey as a Sharks home jersey. It looks great!

 

[flippikat]

The colours of the Maori kit would make a nice nrl brand for a new club!

Yeah, the design they're wearing as alternate/away, and a predominantly green (with white & black trim elements & shorts) as home.

Just something some clubs do - Warriors and Canterbury notably in the last decade play trials in training jerseys (e.g. the CB jumper in grey the Bulldogs used last year)

 

[Perth Red]

Yeh would make a nice change from red or blue. Maybe if Wellington get the nod for team 18 they may choose something similar?

Whether it's Wellington or Christchurch-based, I strongly believe a "province neutral" colour scheme is the way to go - not the black & yellow of Wellington, nor the red & black of Canterbury province (Christchurch) - and I think green, black & white is perfect.
