Club jerseys 2008

[Russell Crowe's Band]

The Raiders' CFMEU logo is just as bad, IMO. Yet with the other gear, such as the hats, and polos which aren't white, the CFMEU logo is "worked in" using the background colours of the items. Why can't they do that with the jersey? Honestly it makes no sense.

exactly.

its a giant white square in the middle of a great jersey. ridiculous.

and its even bigger than last year! theyve got the CFMEU logo..and then CFMEU in block letter under it.

may as call them the "13 28 38 broncos"

cullen you wanker

to be fair, they were the "13SHOP" broncos there for a while

when you have no soul, it is easy to sell it.

The NRL has a whole lot of ground rules around sponsors, eg, can only be a certain number of locations on jersey, can only take a % of space on jersey, cannot be a rival to NRL sponsor etc etc etc

If they have the right to have those rules, why not rules around how they look??

Because they have no say in how an organisation chooses to express their brand. You can't dictate how LG, Samsung, SANYO, CFMEU, Coal & Allied, Suzuki etc etc use their branding and logo imagery.

Some oragnsiations spend a lot of money determining style guides for the appropriate use of their logo. The reason they become so well known is because they stick to the set guidelines on their use. Imagine if Ford start using red in the logo instead of the blue oval, McDonalds started to use green instead of the "golden arches". It's not going to happen and it's not going to happen just to make a jersey aesthetically pleasing. (remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!)

In the end be grateful that your team has a sponsor and is willing to pay to associated with your team no matter what their logo looks like and if they specificy it must be on white, black, fushia or turquoise! At the end of the day it's the sponsors that make the game somewhat affordable otherwise gate prices would be triple what they are now.

Amen Mister Macavity :lol:

I wouldn't get too cocky, Mr "Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs"...


It's just the nature of the sport these days wtih all these companies jumping on board and wanting value for money while not give a flaying toss about the design of the jersey.

It's split about half and half.

Rumour/speculation is ANZ Bank will adorn the Soufs jersey this year. ANZ Rabbitohs @ ANZ Stadium which is also owned by ANZ... :crazy:

Maybe I missed something... what's the deal with the all-blue jersey the Doggies played in yesterday?

 

[ozzy_ozman]

other than that... we wont be getting our centanery jersey til round 4

they were training jerseys, game ones aren't ready yet.

they were training jerseys, game ones aren't ready yet.

That explains it then.

To be honest though, the all-blue affair looked kind of neat.

To be honest though, the all-blue affair looked kind of neat.

i think an all white inverted version of that jersey would go alright aswell.

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

Is the late release of jerseys a Nike thing or is there some other explanation why this season and last both the Broncos and Bulldogs have been tardy with releasing their latest jersey designs?

 

[Patorick]

My guess is that production was delayed due to the sorting out of sponsors as much as anything. They're using the same jersey style as last year, so thats not an issue.

It is not out of the ordinary for clubs to not have their playing jerseys ready for trial games and a substitute used instead.

That's true of course. It just seems in the last couple of years it has been the Nike shirts that have been released last, usually by a notable margin.

 

[Patorick]

Yeah nike suck. Glad my club is with reebok.
