Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
I like that it's mostly green, but in the kids' size it does look a little busy.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Call me crazy but shouldn't the club have done a release/photo opp about this?

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Is there any Torres Strait artwork on the jersey? I don't see any on the front?

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
I stopped collecting jerseys a few years ago but it looks a little underwhelming to me.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
I think if the part near the Telstra logo was fixed up it would look better, that part with the half circle has no flow

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Not to diminish the celebration of indigenous culture (I hate all the alternatives, especially white).... but am I the only one who would just be happy to see them run out in lime green every week?
We already have the most unique and iconic jersey in the competition. It doesn’t clash.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
If we trotted out the same jersey every week of every year why would anybody buy a new jersey/s each year?

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
It’s not what I said, but if you’re going to be narky about it - why do people have to buy a new one each year anyway?
I said “lime green”. Not lime green with patterns all over it (indigenous, marvel etc), not white, not yellow, not blue...
It’s obvious that no team is in the EXACT same jersey as when they entered the competition

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
I see a place for special events/milestones/anniversary editions, maybe.
But how many times do we see “the Green Machine” play in their traditional strip per season these days? It feels like it’s close to half of the 24 games, where I feel it should be all bar one or two occasions per year. That’s my point. Hopefully that doesn’t leave it open further to strawman commentary

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
I'm underwhelmed by it apart from the way the club's badge has been rendered.
On the jersey collection front, I have a 2005 limited edition, a Centenary of Rugby League in Oz, Raiders' 30th Anniversary, and Marvel Hulk and Iron Fist. So, there is room for one-off jerseys, but I wish the range each year was smaller. I think clubs are allowed to have six variations each year.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Rickmando, it's standard operating practice for NRL clubs to release multiple jersey designs that change from year to year. Merch revenue is usually over $1m a year for each club so why would they turn their back on that?

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Yes, money talks Hrundi. And if they have a market then clearly a lot of people are into it. I just reckon it’s way overdone. Nothing beats the classic lime green strip - when I see it live or on TV I immediately think - “that’s MY team!”
I don’t get that feeling from any alternative jersey we’ve ever had. Ever.

I’m surprised we did not role with some English variation this year.

ANZAC Day version, maybe? Including names and signatures of the Aussie, Kiwi and England internationals along with those of Sezar and Guler who are of Turkish extraction.Rick wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 3:19 pm I’m surprised we did not role with some English variation this year.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Instead of 5-10 variations, the nrl should really look at standardising names and numbers. It’s unbelievable that it isn’t already happenings.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Why do you need names?
The only reason you would need names is if you have squad numbers rather than position numbers

Not a fan of this design. Looks a bit piecemeal for my liking. Prefer previous efforts.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Yeah i get that, but I just feel as a sport they're/we're missing a trick from a merchandise perspective. People buy their Gerrard 8s, Curry 30s, Gronk 87s - they'd get right behind a Hodgson 9, Cronk 7, Tuivasa-Sheck 1.
Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
It’s been tried. In rugby league it’s better to have 1-17 no matter which player is in the jersey. Then you know who’s playing where. Too expensive to add names.Raiders Lim! wrote: ↑March 31, 2019, 9:53 pmYeah i get that, but I just feel as a sport they're/we're missing a trick from a merchandise perspective.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
Back in the late '70s (or whenever it was that SA Union prop Kent Lambert played for them) Penrith had the names of players on the front of the jersey. They stopped doing that because it made it easier for opposition players to target whoever was having a good game that day.greeneyed wrote: ↑March 31, 2019, 10:31 pmIt’s been tried.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
It's 2019, the salary cap is close to 10mill and we can't afford to print the names of players on jerseys? And every week the ref knows each player on a first name basis, every team watches video week in week out and we're afraid that being able to read Hodgson 9 on a green jersey is going to make him more of a target? It's sometimes a wonder how this game competes in the modern day.yurithe1 wrote: ↑April 1, 2019, 10:55 amBack in the late '70s (or whenever it was that SA Union prop Kent Lambert played for them) Penrith had the names of players on the front of the jersey.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
We can be almost certain that Hodgson is going to be in No. 9. But the guys in jersey No. 15 could change often.Raiders Lim! wrote:It's 2019, the salary cap is close to 10mill and we can't afford to print the names of players on jerseys?

If you have names, you have to give the player a unique player number. And I think for good reason, in rugby league we like to see the players in 1-17 every game day, so positions are clear.

Re: Raiders Indigenous Jersey
If you want to do this as a marketing exercise, you simply do the jersey with the player's number on the back and his debut number or whatever it's called on the front. e.g. Papalii would have 8 on the back and 300 on the front.
