Kit clashing

[Jason Maher]

I hate the concept of away strips

Originally everyone had one strip that didnt clash

All traditional clubs ie pre 1995

Even original Cowboys is fine

Its since then when clubs stopped trying to have a unique look that issues occurred

NRL should just enforce that a club has unique look and get rid of away jersies

Eg Penrith v Warriors v Wests shouldn't have a all black look - this a blight on the game

No issue for a summer or 9s jersey

Or a special event or heritage jersey

But each clubs original jersey bar Parramatta and Auckland were unique

Parramatta 1986 jersey was unique

Norths and Illawarra clashed prior to 1992. Penrith and Wests clashed after Penrith changed from brown to black in 1991.

Newcastle did not need to wear their away strip against the sharks

Canberra and Parramatta should both be wearing their home jerseys

League gone mad

 

[Iafeta]

I still laugh at the year the Knights who picked the orange jersey when they versed the tigers. Geniuses!

Speaking of the Knights. Friday night was genuinely confusing. I deadset had to do a double take on the Roosters, it was the 1994 Newcastle Knights outfit.

Good to see the Knights doing well against the Panthers tonight.

I thought it was the roosters

IS f**king marvel month over yet ?

 

[thorson1987]

Norths and Illawarra clashed prior to 1992. Penrith and Wests clashed after Penrith changed from brown to black in 1991.

Didn't illawarra wear a white jersey against Norths?

 

[Jason Maher]

Didn't illawarra wear a white jersey against Norths?

When they played at North Sydney. Not sure what happened in Wollongong.

Edit: I was able to Google this image. Can't tell which ground though. Both have hills.

IS f**king marvel month over yet ?

Yes but we still have Martel, Hasbro and Milton Bradley months to come yet.

 

[TheVelourFog]

WTF is Marvel round anyway other than advertising? They barely mention fundraising

I reckon that is NSO. Can kinda make out the picket fence in the background.

 

[toomuchsoup]

f**king hell.

Once again. Dragons and Tigers should both be wearing their home jerseys. Ridiculous

 

[toomuchsoup]

And this whole Marvel thing. I get it. It's great for marketing and blah blah blah, but these jerseys are getting stupid.

The Spider Man jersey that the roosters wore is great for the Knights because it looks like the goddamn Knights still.

Melbournes Thor jersey was unacceptable. Not an ounce of resemblance and would have been terrible for any other NRL team. Ya'storm? Or ya'bunch of clowns?

Manly - only resemblance was the small amount of moron.
UNACCEPTABLE

Canberra - only resemblance was the fact it was green. But a green that is not identified with the raiders. UNACCEPTABLE

St. George Illawarra - lil bit o red. Well done dickheads. UNACCEPTABLE!

Wests - Shit jersey, but at least you could tell who they were

Brisbane, North Queensland and Newcastle - good enough

And it's gotta be 'Marvel ROUND!' Not 'Marvel couple o' weeks'

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

I was having trouble with the Storm v Panthers last night.

Agree with getting rid of the Marvel jerseys. They are f**ken lame.

 

[Timmah]

While I agree the Marvel is outdated, plenty wrong with this...

The Spider Man jersey that the roosters wore is great for the Knights because it looks like the goddamn Knights still.

Red and blue... made sense to me. Design itself wasn't that great, made them look very odd.

Melbournes Thor jersey was unacceptable. Not an ounce of resemblance and would have been terrible for any other NRL team. Ya'storm? Or ya'bunch of clowns?

Yeah, because Thor, god of thunder... makes no sense when paired with the STORM...

Manly - only resemblance was the small amount of moron.
UNACCEPTABLE

Falcon is a type of bird in a similar vein to an eagle... made sense to me?

Canberra - only resemblance was the fact it was green. But a green that is not identified with the raiders. UNACCEPTABLE

The Raiders have used about 4 different shades of green since 1982, including one resembling the one used this time.

St. George Illawarra - lil bit o red. Well done dickheads. UNACCEPTABLE!

LOL now you're just sooking.

Wests - Shit jersey, but at least you could tell who they were

Again, sooking.

And it's gotta be 'Marvel ROUND!' Not 'Marvel couple o' weeks'

Clubs want to wear the promotional jersey at home to maximise the promotional opportunities - would you prefer they don't give themselves the opportunity to make a truckload of money?

 

[toomuchsoup]

Red and blue... made sense to me. Design itself wasn't that great, made them look very odd.
They did look like the Knights though

Yeah, because Thor, god of thunder... makes no sense when paired with the STORM...
Yeah, the connection is obvious. Can't have a purple Thor jersey though?

Falcon is a type of bird in a similar vein to an eagle... made sense to me?
Again, obvious bird theme. No reason it can't be predominately maroon

The Raiders have 4 different shades of green since 1982, including one resembling the one used this time.

LOL now you're just sooking.
You bet I'm sooking
Again, sooking.
I feel like my sooking is warranted with this combined with all the unnecessary away jerseys this year

Clubs want to wear the promotional jersey at home to maximise the promotional opportunities - would you prefer they don't give themselves the opportunity to make a truckload of money?

I think a clubs colours and identity is very important.

I'm not against promotional and different Jerseys, I just think that you should be able to tell who a team is at first glance.

Does he have 89 on his jersey? Haha

 

[RockWheel]

Does

39 would make more sense.

 

[Smack]

I get the point of Marvel week(s) as clubs are trying to find ways to raising money other than pokies. My issue is with the kit clashing.

 

[stormbati]

I think unless the superhero resembles the clubs colours or mascot in some way then forget it.

Storm - Thor
Parra - Wolverine
Panthers - Black Panther
Roosters - Captain America
Raiders - Hulk
Knights - Superman
Broncos - Ironman
