Just give us some actual good and hopefully timeless ads like NRMA did.

The black actually doesn't look all that bad.

Also that isn't the 2020 home jersey, is it?

But seriously, Jake Turpin as the model? I guess if the kit can look ok on him, it can look ok on anyone...but that 2019 kit does not look good on anyone unfortunately.

 

[WASSHHH]

Is that Turpin or Moe Howard?

Bloke seriously needs to rethink the do.

It concerns me that they went to the trouble of printing the Kia logo on that jersey instead of waiting to unveil the new one for next year. It suggests that even the fugly jersey isn't going anywhere.

I loved Turp's turn in Dumb and Dumber.

it’s where he gets his power from

side note: I’m loving how much Turps is featuring in promo stuff for next season. This announcement and the half-silhouette on the draw reveal. Shows (to me) he’ll be a prominent fixture in the side. Dearden too

As sad as it is, that's actually disrespectful to the Jim Carey haircut, Turpin is sporting the bowl cult AND receding hairline combo, truly a remarkable achievement.

 

[WASSHHH]

I wonder if Turpin’s girlfriend is also called Mary Samsonite?

 

[mitch222]

Just give us a 2015 heritage jersey remake please

 

[Kimlo]

You know things are rough when Turpin is the guy we roll out to show off a new major sponsor.

Wished it was Fifita coinciding with a new 5 yr extension.

Maybe they will now be able to throw in a couple of cars for him and his mother as a sweetener to close a deal with him.

Make sense. He is our halfback, after all.

 

[tommy]

We laugh at his hair now, but this time next year all the kids are gonna be rocking that style.

As our new major sponsor they're now also basically the only car manufacturer who specifically cannot give him a new car for free.

It's perfect for Kia. Does the job, is reliable, and doesn't cost the earth.
