RUMOUR 2017, Jersey and Sponsor discussion

[Super Freak]

I have to admit, after I saw the players wearing the white jersey and playing in it, I am a fan of it. It's grown on me.

I'm going to buy one.

Well I was finally able to see the new jersies in the flesh yesterday, I had in my mind that I would probably buy one of the Iron Man Hero jobs after seeing the pics online but honestly for the price I was pretty disappointed with the quality.

It just felt like a printed shirt with a collar, the logos were just printed as well, no embroidering in sight and I think thats what disappointed me the most.

The design I didn't mind and it looked pretty good when i put it on but it just didn't compare quality wise to this years home/away versions.

I'd say plenty of people were also disappointed because there were still stacks left on the racks unsold, at the right price I would probably a have bought one but asking the same inflated price as the usual strip was too much for a poorer quality item.

I was actually very tempted by the away grey strip, it's simple but actually looks pretty good and better than I expected however I ended up adding a 2017 home jersey to the collection. Had to hunt around a few stores for a small size tho as most seem to have been sold.

You'll need friends overseas to forward them on to you as they don't ship NRL stuff to Australia. Shows how badly they are treating Australian consumers if they have ship them to the UK, sell them for $90 through an intermediary and still make a profit.

I have a couple of 2017 home jerseys (large size) going spare for $110, if anybody's interested.

Indigenous Jersey

 

[Allo]

Indigenous Jersey

the design and patterns are awesome. Colours are a bit garish though

 

[Sproj]

Why so much red? Maroon would work probably even better.

 

[Super Freak]

It's ochre which is a natural pigment made from desert rocks and sand which in aboriginal art always represents the land

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

It ain't exactly my cup of tea!

Really? Another ****ing jersey

The story behind the artwork of the Indigenous jersey.

Designer: Joe Malone/Deadly Choices

Inspiration/Story: The artwork was developed in conjunction with Deadly Choices, a proud partner of the NRMA Insurance Brisbane Broncos.

This artwork tells several stories about the Broncos using Aboriginal art. The 6 circles in the centre represent the six years that the Broncos have won a premiership in 1992, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2006. The 13 symbols for Men symbolises that rugby league is a 13 a side game and 13 symbols for Women acknowledge the female contribution to rugby league.

The six shields signify the six premiership trophies that the Broncos have won and the spirit figures holding the shields depicts coach Wayne Bennett who is the spiritual leader of the club and the only person involved in all six Premierships.

The rest of the artwork describes the Broncos connection to the community - the circles on the outer of the painting indicate a small representation of the numerous junior clubs and schools that have benefited from Broncos coaching clinics, programs such as “Beyond the Broncos” and also recognises the community work they undertake as well as the partnership with Deadly Choices to encourage and promote better and healthier lifestyle choices for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, utilising all of the Aboriginal Medical Services clinics right across South East Queensland.

Footprints and the straight white lines that connect the circles exemplify the travel done throughout the community to deliver these services.

I believe we have the best jersey design for the Indigenous round. Also looks like we put the most effort in

As per the above but they're in chains and cultivating land for their masters.
