ARL Logos...

[kdalymc]

Some of these images from 1996 may help -

That is definitely no help

I think all the retail jerseys from 97 were different to the players jersey badges

I've got a 1997 jersey with the ARL logo

 

[kdalymc]

Yeah wtf

 

[roofromoz]

Pretty sure that top image is 1999

Definitely 1999 - the subliminated NRL logo and Classic being the apparel provider.

subliminated NRL logo

were still stitched for a few more years, just no green box.


Anyway, whos keen for another funny one...?

Ive just heard from the horses mouth, wont mention names, but a origin and test player who was a marquee signing for the Crushers (i became interested in the Crushers aspect as im yet to find a pic from 96 with the full shield...) that "the Crushers were so stint by 1996 already, that they RE-USED THEIR 1995 JERSEYS, and simply attached the Optus and Yes badges to these"

jesus...
however what stumped me further is the pic of Gilly in that famous blue away jersey that they only wore once (?) in 96- it has the full shield..
Were they so tight they could not afford new jerseys for 96, but COULD afford a full new set of the blue, but then only wore these once??

Or just attached a full green shield over the top? as i have seen photos of the blue from another game, but unsure on year...

full on though

My 97 jersey is the gold with short sleeves. It has the previous years logo. I bought mine at the same time as my sevens jersey. Possibly the early stock wasn't updated with the new logo

comp badging from 96-99 is an absolute mess on retail jerseys, especially stuff made by classic.

they would reuse stock from year to year and just chuck whatever badges on they had around, there are 99 jerseys with updated sponsor logos with 98 NRL badging.
most 97 retail jerseys didnt have the full ARL badging, only teams that had multiple runs of merchandise made have the correct ARL badging.
most 96 jerseys will have the full Optus logo but there are exceptions;

this is a jersey that was worn in round 21!
