2026 Broncos Jersey and Sponsorship Discussion

What’s the drama over the embroidered logos v the laminated ones? Have we been ripped off ordering early?

When first released they were sold with an "embroidered logo" but there was also a preorder disclaimer that the product feature "might change" and that customers can return once received or cancel their order.

My theory is that the number of orders were so ridiculous that Asics was like nah our suppliers cannot embroider this volume, so we will sublimate the logo (a little bit different and better than laminated logos which as @ningnangnong mentioned are absolutely trash, and just fall off). Sublimated logos change the colour of the fabric through gas so can't wash out. Even though embroidery is done by machines now I would say that 100 logos could be sublimated for every 1 embroidered logo.

I don't think that there is much drama, but maybe the club should have expected that volumes after winning a premiership would be enormous and just listed them with a sublimated logo from the start.

I think this is mandela affect aye. The original email they sent, the jersey in the photo shows sublaminated logos, and there's no mention of them being embroidered in those emails.

This is the one they sent at 10.30 on the night of the GF.

Could have even been an error with the first listing but there is a screenshot in this that shows embroidered. Personally I wouldn't mind all that much from embroidered to sublaminated but if it went from embroidered to laminated/screen printed I'd be sad

They're printed like the sponsors and I think the actualnplayer jerseys. So no issue, but.... No embroidery cheapens it.

That's it, it just feels tacky when it's not embroidered - even the fake arse ones I've been getting from Ali are embroidered.

We've gone full circle when the fakes are better than the legit versions. 😂
 
Does anyone know when the yellow training shorts and predominately navy to maroon fade training shirt that the players have been wearing during pre season will be available?
 
Yep, its a shame. Near impossible to get packs at retail price atm. It sucks 😭

I refuse to pay a scalper for packs.

Bit of a work in progress for this if anyone cares. Should turn out okay I think. Just gotta get all the card spacings right and frame it up.

LOVE! I'm yet to frame my 151 set, will probably only frame the holos as they are in slabs. I hustled as a kid and completed Base, Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Gym Heroes, Gym Challenge, and Neo Destiny. It took almost 4 years to receive all submissions back from PSA. Fedex lost a bunch that I had to recoup which really sucked.

Currently got the holos from Team Rocket, Gym Heroes, Gym Challenge, and Neo Destiny framed by the study because they are the goated artwork IMO. Especially Ken Sugimori's Gym sets. The shinies and gym trainer holos are above the computer.

My childhood just sitting on the wall really. Endless memories, and I can remember how I acquired every one.

Thanks, yours look sick too. Ive never gone the slab/grading route. I definitely could with some of my base set zards etc, but these are all personal collection I never intend to sell so im happy keeping them raw. Being from when I was a kid, I know they won't grade 10s either.

Sounds like youve got a hell of a collection.

Ive got the framed complete Base/Fossil/Jungle then I have Rocket in a binder, as well as master sets of a good chunk of modern from Sword/Shield, Sun/Moon, as well as masters of stuff like 151 which is a beautiful set. Glad I got those all sorted before scalpers took over during covid.

Been out of the game since covid basically as the prices to master went through the roof, and product is just too annoying to get. Im not paying to join a discord just to get a couple packs because I know when a restock is happening. It's a shame, as wife and I absolutely love ripping packs and theres just something about mastering sets that youve been able to open.

I graded for protection not to ever sell, was finding that every time I took them out to look at them I’d damage them a bit more and more haha. So much nostalgia there. It’s really a disaster currently, such a shame for the kids. I’m not into new stuff, the quality really shit the bed post WOTC. Agree that new 151 is nice though also that new mega Charizard is lit. Just want my hard work from my preteens protected because once I hit 30 they all felt so special to me.

No 10s for me. Heaps of 9. Shining Zard was graded 3 and has a better surface and centering than some 8s ha. It’s all just luck. If I had my time over I’d just get them slabbed as authentic without grading.

Do miss just looking at them in a binder tho.

Yeah all fair on the protection. They do look nice in slabs too for display purposes.

30th anniversary coming up, expecting a good throwback set, so I'll be doing all I can to get that set done 😂 As I agree on older cards and even Pokemon being way better.
