New major sponsor.

[BZN]

Why all the cloak and dagger stuff?
This club loves to draw attention to itself...the worst club in the NRL unvieling a new sponsor and jersey is hardly worth the pomp and ceremony, especially when the jersey looks generic AF and the sponsor is exisiting.

Cool.
Now get back to training.

After all the pomp and circumstance, what a bloody big anticlimax.

Looks great in the flesh.

I have to say, when I've emailed him, he's responded quickly.

He knows you’re not to be messed with SQ !

The new logo is nearly as bad as the old logo and our jumpers are boring.
A lot of the posters on here have already come up with more imaginative, interesting, modern and fresh designs than these.
Imo we've taken a step backwards 😡.

They have definitely taken the Safe option

I don't mind the jersey, and sponsors are happy Api looks fresh - no complaints

Of course the sponsors want their corporate name highlighted and the white box does that. Once we start playing no one will notice the jersey, especially if we’re winning.
Imo this is just the normal, off season, ongoing chat about a bloody jumper. You would think we’re talking about the Mona Lisa !

it seems the main issue everyone has is the white box . It’s a bit of an eyesore . I’m curious as to how much pushback there was about a more blended logo. Because as much as everyone likes to think the people making the decisions are painting their home walls pink and have purple rendered houses , and have NFI , I’m pretty certain that these people would have picked this up .
I guess it will come down to if the sponsorship gives pepper bang for thier buck . If so I’m sure next years logo will be more blended and less of a punch to the face .

It's all about brand awareness. No company as a sponsor will change their logo, that defeats the purpose for them. Think the M for McDonald's. The idea is the name doesn't matter and the logo can be transfered into any scenario and spark a memory with fans.

I'm stoked for the club. 3rd world problems 🚨 Ng about the logo not blending. You have to take the money when it is there, especially for a 3peat wooden spoon club. If we improve on field, I dare say out next sponsorship deal will be massive.

One foot in front of the other.

Unfortunately the apparel with our now sponsor will not be available for purchase for a while (expected next 10-12 weeks )

Well lets hope they use that time to fix the hideous design flaws in that jersey.

Surely the final design has to look better than those graphics that look like they were done on a Tandy TRS-80 computer. 🤢

If they are winning games next season … no one here will care the slightest about the jersey

Can't zoom in very close but that looks like Jonna Bateman in between Seyfarth and Staines. He stands just like the pidgeon-chested gimp whoever it is🤔

I thought it was Bateman too cos no one wanted to stand next to him!

 

[TurnStyle]

That's original and bad.

It reminds me though of those art projects.

And a try-hard one at that....

Have these people learnt nothing?

Imagine the marketing round table:
"okay team, so we really need something to turn our fortunes around"
"hmmm. Who is our core market?"
"I know! Middle-aged rich guys!"

"omg! I've got just the ad! This is gonna be great!"

Man, I am so glad I don't drive a jag.

Still, I'm happy for Boney M for getting work in 2024....

Does anyone know the dollar amount for the 3 years???

LOL it’s 1st world problems mate . Not laughing at you just funny you said that .
I was talking about reducing the white background , or finding a way to have it blend more in the jersey . Instead of the huge contrast right now . But that’s simply a smart jersey design as well .

So good to see API without that bloody dyed hair too. I don’t mind it on TBH

Nice work richo! Well done. Decent brand!

The club whipped up all this interest.

Operation change the perception, brought to you by Richo & Read.

The Club expressly stated that the figure would remain private.

Super impressive by Richo

The very safe option Spartan117.
I reckon who ever made the decision must have been wearing 2 condoms 🤣.

That’s great, a company the size of pepper has jumped on board. All positive, hope it all pays off on the field.

Hope the team has a good off season
