2025 NRL Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos

[steeden.]

I imagine it's probably because it's a better contrast against the Dragons than any of their jerseys that have red or white dominating.

Even if they had a mostly gold jersey, it wouldn't be as good as black.

I'd like to see them move from Black to some shade of grey though - just to get away from the Bears mix of colours.

Makes sense! Although shouldn’t the nrl demand the dragons have a suitable alternative

Pretty obvious what Canterbury are releasing there. By far and away their best ever look, in my opinion.

For most clubs, 1995-96 was peak as far as their main/home jersey goes.

Even the "modern" jersey designs of the time (Manly's Pepsi jersey, Norths Citibank jersey, Parramatta's "blinds" jersey) were pretty cool.

The only two that were bad IMO were the Sharks Reebok jersey which somehow ended up being more cluttered than their classic 70s/80s jersey, and the mid-90s Balmain/Sydney Tigers jersey which was an abomination.

Not sure what others think but on heritage jerseys I believe it would be pretty cool if sponsors allowed the clubs to use block style lettering of the time.

Or just using similar fonts or styles of sponsors that the club has previously used (within reason and obviously not committing copyright).
I’m sure it would seem like negative in the eyes of the companies providing the money for the sponsors with their branding being altered, but the main target market that will be seeing these sponsors, the rugby league fans, will have a better opinion of that brand if they did so, and would probably make the brand more noticeable. I know I’d pay more attention to a sponsor that has altered their branding for the sake of the aesthetics of heritage jersey

As much as I love the Phins black jersey (I still wish they’d get rid of the ugly red piping around the shoulders and arm pits), their home is essentially fully red and the dragons home is mainly white. While they have a very similar overall colour palette, home vs home would’ve contrasted perfectly fine

 

[It's Been Done]

Even the milestone text on the sternum of Adam Reynold's jersey is in black

Broncos look stupid tonight.

Nah, I like it.

And yet I thought Sharks Reebok and Tigers Jersey of that time were the best those clubs have ever had.

I’m not sure why (and I’m using Souths here as I go for them) they can’t make the 80s retro jumper (with Smiths Crisps) with the MG logo.
Slightly off topic but Saints should also have a retro mascot - the St George Bank green dragon. FMD the current one is shy-te.

 

[Matiunz]

It’s great to see Souths in an actual ‘away’ jersey

New broncos logo for 2025? The owner is listed as “Brisbane Broncos corporation”, which is odd given the NRL owns all other logos. Perhaps this is for the leagues club?

Does it stay black and white or is it just like a placeholder version until they choose maroon or gold for the main colour? Could be a secondary logo too, like the dragons have.
I think I could get behind a coloured version.
Personally I really like the current logo. I like the original too but it doesn't embroid very well imo. Prints well on other various merch though.

Brisbane Times is suggesting it will be in Maroon gold and white, but that the club isn’t confirming anything

I’d miss the chess piece head. It’s become iconic, and was way ahead of its time for usability online.

I feel like it won't be long before simplified logos are 'enforced' within the NRL. Or maybe they are asking clubs to do this already. Quite a few have already moved this way, like the Raiders, Titans, Knights, & Manly.

The main thing for me is that at least with our simplification the design is still aggressive. The Raiders ended up with their logo looking like a constipated dwarf, and Manly's beak is far too stubby, so it looks really compressed and not like an eagle. Some clubs will find this really tricky, like the Dragons, and Parra.

There are actually a few similarities with our current logo, like the shading/ highlighting style. I was terrified when news broke about a logo design in March/April, but I can work with this for sure. It's elongated and aggressive. We got out of it without a stubby, or derpy logo. At least IMO!! Will also look good on jerseys and other designs.

Like most I'm also attached to our current logo and don't like change, but it also carries a lot of trauma ha so change might do us good.

 

[Haffa]

Not bad. The B&W version makes it look like the University of Newcastle logo. I'm sure that'll change with color.

TBF the black and white version will go well with any future 'the black dog institute' jerseys, if that collaboration continues.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Looks way better then the current one.

I don't mind the horse head part of it, but the design/effect they're trying to add around it feels cut off.

Those added bits look a bit weird on a jersey as well

I think the 'added bits' are the horses mane.
Would like to see it in a not cut off style, but I'm sure that would have been an option and decision makers thought this looked better. May have disturbed the flow or verticality or something. I'm just dribbling now, I got no idea.
