few lads on here would have lost their shit when wynnum played ipswich.
also the 2 yellow teams wtf
Regarding the 2 yellows, the bulls wore a red jersey when they played the vikings, so that wasn't an issue, im sure ipswich or wynnum must of had an alternate aswell (not sure tho, as i don't remember seeing a game Vs each other)

Rochdale Hornets Home and Away 2023. Personally I am a fan of this combination. Think they'll look good on the field.57C61606-DD16-454D-995E-82B81065F7EF.jpeg.4fba965d1b0bd3b483e2851701f60e6b.jpeg

No reason why they couldnt have had the London skyline on the home jersey, done in grey like the terrible logo.
Agree... I do hope the London jerseys look better in the flesh, they are extremely underwhelming in those mock ups and not a fan of the sublimated logo on the back missing the inner key lines for letters like O, R, D & B

The alternate would be an interesting knights away jersey white shorts
I got to thinking recently, and could be a real good money spinner, if the bulk of clubs went with a home (whatever they want design), heritage (inagural jersey) and an away (reversed inagural colors) and that knights comparison would look good as the away having the blue ontop and red beneath but as the original jersey design... i suppose NIB would ruin it all anyways

I would love to know the difference in money earned between the big ugly sponsor logos we have and what they could get if the NRL mandated size limits and integration requirements. I can't imagine the difference would be that significant, and if every team had to play by the same rules it wouldn't be a competitive disadvantage.

So many jerseys are eyesores, some are just plain painful to look at. How much have team incomes ballooned from TV rights over the years? Surely a small haircut on jersey sponsors wouldn't bankrupt anyone. American sports do just fine without plastering ugly sponsors all over jerseys. Some will say that's not a fair comparison because of the enormous income they earn in other ways. Ok but then the AFL is as close as it gets to comparing apples and apples and they haven't had to sacrifice clean jerseys.

So there is no excuse. Whatever relatively small percentage of overall team income that is contributed by giving sponsors a free for all to put whatever crap logo they want is not worth it. The game would survive and thrive without it.

Mandate limitations on jersey sponsors!

There is little doubt that clubs could (and previously have) commanded more per key position back when there were less advertising spots on the jerseys.

The battle you'll have however is for those clubs who have good commercial teams (ie. Rabbitohs, Broncos, Storm) they would push back on any reduction of sponsor spots because they have been able to extract good dollars for every one of them and won't be prepared to just let it go, whilst for the clubs that struggle to sell (ie. Dragons, Manly, Bulldogs, Sharks) they'll push back as it makes their job harder.

Most clubs set themselves a target of $2m+ in revenue from kit sponsorship these days. For some clubs like Brisbane or Souths, they get more than half of this in just the front of jersey sponsor, whilst others, like when the Bulldogs first signed Laundy, are more around the $600K mark (I'm sure the renewal is at a higher rate, but I doubt it's at or above $1m), meaning they need the likes of sternum, lower back, etc to get close to their targets.

Not saying it's right, but this is the battle. The fact AFL has strict standards both on what can be sold, but as well size & experience of commercial teams, and gives grants / fund proportionally to help lift minimum standards pays off nicely for them. We can thank John Grant for throwing out that concept to try and keep his spot on the Commission.
