2025 NRL Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos

Will be keen to see if the final jersey looks like the graphic. The V is a big improvement than what they've run around with in the past few years, and nice to see it go back over the shoulders.

I'll be keen to see how the 2005 elements look when worn. Hopefully they get the balance right so it's not completely hidden under the arms, and it doesn't come too far across the stomach.

Would have been nice if Pepper money didn't need to be in a black box... IMO, I feel this looks a lot better.

Yes the white box is total crap, they needed to do this version above and blend it into the jersey, not sure what the theory behind keeping a billboard style square, are they worried that pepper money will leave them mid season and they can just stick another sponsor over the big 'ol white box, it's not as bad as some of the other teams, but it's a worrying trend with most clubs, atleast the tigers design isn't messed with, but it doesn't look right having a big rectangle on everyone's stomach.

in a perfect world, the arlc will get to the point where all clubs will have to standardise the placement of sponsors, one large on the torso, one on the collar, one on each sleeve, all have to be blended into the jesery, and that's it, right now it's turning into race car uniforms

Race car uniforms is a bit over the top. SL much worse.
We are headed down that path, compare any jersey now to those of the 1980s, where they had one or two sponsors, that didn't have a terrible white boxed around them

I think it’s more likely for the NRL to move towards more sponsors on jerseys, not less. I can see them allowing teams to use the upper shoulder/collarbone area for non-apparel sponsors - either by letting clubs swap placements or just allowing non-apparel brands to take both spots. It’s becoming common in the AFL for teams wearing one brand in particular (New Balance/Belgravia) to sell off the apparel brand logo spot - so you’d really need an apparel partner willing to do it.

I think we’ll also continue to see clubs push the boundaries for the size of sponsor logos. Some clubs are already there, of course. But we might see more things like Storm’s vertical Carsales logo on the sleeves which ends up with it being a larger logo compared to horizontal.

And people rate them a better product to buy in "retro" jerseys and to watch, even though the game has better or more stringent rules these days
We are comparing two eras, but its a no brainer that people don't like to ruin a teams kit, with an overload of sponsors

Original Puma deals, announced in 2021, were 5 years NSWRL, 6 years QRL. Wonder who pulled the pin a year early for the NSW deal and if that affects the Queensland one?
Warriors ended their deal with Puma early due to a number of issues- wouldn’t surprise me if the same happened here

With adidas being the supplier for the nsw state of origin, will we get a bit of a ‘retro’ style playing jersey like the very early 80’s with the shoulder to sleeve stripes?

"People rate them a better product" according to who exactly?

If that's your opinion that's ok but I'm not sure who you're speaking for. Sales figures clearly dominated by current club jerseys, retro jerseys have relatively small production numbers and don't really sell that well outside a niche group of long-terms fans.

Maroons just release a video about our jersey launch this Friday.


I assume itll be a very 1995 inspired kit with the horizontal stripes.

Which then leads me to assume we're also going with Adidas.

I would love Adidas as a kit manufacturer, but cant shake the uneasy feeling of both QLD and NSW sharing the same sponsor and kit manufacturer.

AAMI v VB, Canterbury v Classic. Good times
