The Game 2023 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos etc

[Santino Patane]

Did you watch Rounds 1 or 2? They wore orange both weeks.

Sure- and I honestly have no skin in this argument as I’m not a supporter, I’m just interested if their fans are okay/happy with the direction they seem to be going (ie segregating the two camps rather than a blend of the two). I might have sounded more offended by the jersey than I actually am in re reading my post…

Not the biggest fan of the tigers black kit. Looks too similar to the panthers jersey.

Orange jersey is more unique and looks better.

They should have a white away, black V, black shorts
And keep the orange kit as their home

 

[Victoire]

the orange and white outfits looked shit. The black kit yesterday was so much better.

Black shorts with the orange jerseys would improve it big time, for example:

Fair point- oversight on my behalf. As a Tigers fan, are you happy with your jerseys? Despite my criticism I must admit your home jersey this year looks better put together and would be spot on for a Magpies jersey in 2023.

I liked the jersey we had a few years back with the orange v
As an away strip id have the white heritage jersey we wore in 2014 with the stripes

This jersey, and the black away, I always felt were the best Wests jerseys of their JV.

This should be the colour combo of the Tigers primary strip.

Mostly orange jersey, with black trim & SOME white (not too much white), and black shorts.

Doesn't matter if the black & white elements are side panels or a V or whatever - the majority of the main jersey needs to be orange.

The alternate jersey should be white (or even light grey/silver.. that'd be quite unique!) with some black & orange trim.

Keep black jersey designs for special occasion/one-off/heritage uses only.

Play to the things that are DISTINCTIVE to the club.

Souths to wear the half rabbit logo to honour Satts

Badge of honour: Souths to wear Sattler’s 1970 strip with torn logo

South Sydney will honour John Sattler by wearing a special jersey with the half rabbit emblem to replicate the strip made famous in the 1970 grand final.

That mock up jersey should be their standard. It’s so much better without the panels

I'll reserve my opinion on this to take the time to soak it in.

I have mostly liked what Dynasty have done with our jerseys and merch but this is a lot of yellow........ but i understand the context for it in this particular application.

Absolutely. The alternate should be the minties-wrapper, but predominately white with green bands and red piping.

Basically our 2020 alternate strip.



I’d actually invert the red and green from the above. Have a white MG logo on a red background which is full sponsor integration and the Crown logo would be more visible with a red background on the sleeves.

Interesting that clubs can get a full brand new kit designed, approved, made, and delivered in a matter of days when absolutely needed.

Yet when a sponsor is added it is heatpressed on for a few weeks. Or, even moreso in my eyes, Grand Final teams can't get a special GF badge for the occasion, and only get crappy non-special embroidery ... which looks like every other 'milestone' embroidery jersey.

Either way, if it can be done in a way that integrates the sponsor it provides a TRUE alternate/away & removes that horrible black trim/white trim rort they've had for far too long.

I thought the reason for the black trim/white trim was to appease different home & away major sponsors who wanted to be on the red & green stripes?

Surely that's not so much an issue now MG is major (front of jersey) sponsor for both?

I haven't followed the story closely, but is it possible that the club was aware in advance that Satts was on his last legs?

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they've had that jersey designed and ready to go for a while now.

It makes sense for a club to have contingency plans to honor an ailing legend - and it's nice to see Souths being able to do that promptly and respectfully.

From this Kiwi fan's perspective it strikes me as something Australian teams do remarkably well.

I mean it's what I would have done, but I assure you that not all clubs are as well run as Souths.

Jerseys can be turned around quickly, especially if the company has local production, like Classic still does. The biggest issue is they cost a lot more to produce.
