How can it be a new jersey if it’s their first jersey.

First jersey is a new one yeah?

So where’s the old one?

Here’s a definition of new:

produced, introduced, or discovered recently or now for the first time; not existing before.

New doesn’t mean there has to be an old

Crap jersey anyway

Pull your head in mate, I haven't got time to buy into your constant rubbish. Surely you have better things to do than spend your entire day on a fan forum inciting constant aggrivation from others to get yourself off.

I live in Brizzy and have been supporting the tigers & magpies since mid sixties so when we had to merge I loved it, but one thing that's erked me was the lack if effort to keep our strip traditional, if we kept the big 'V' and big tigers head in black and gold with white thrown in and kept it the same forever then kids growing up following the weststigers would identify themselves with the strip. The Dolphins had a chance to target Redcliffe and an awesome strip but a huge fail for me. Bennett holding up the new Dolphins jersey with KINGS on the front looked like a basketball shirt. I would not connect with that rubbish.
There is enough merchandise to sell without changing playing strips every year too.... Just change the sponsors name in the back shoulders and sleeves. Long live traditions and chivalry!

If i lived in the area and was considering switching allegiance to a new team such as the Dolphins I'd find it tough given that the name holds no regional connection. Surely Moreton Bay Dolphins makes much more sense? Moreton Bay is a huge area that would draw so many fans in if there was a naming connection.

But Redcliffe is still part of Brisbane ......many will be Brisbane fans or if they can't stand the Broncos like a fair few of the ex BRL fans Titans or Cows .....

When Redcliffe goes under ......and they will .....Mr Vlandy's and Abdo will have a lot to answer for

Will they ? I gotta say none of those names exactly scream “exciting new franchise” . They straight up should be called the Brisbane Dolphins . Or north Brisbane , or even SEQ , and have some link to the crushers .
Moreton Bay anything seems like a fad to me .
Isn’t North Lakes akin to what’s going on in Narellan ? It’s not like there’s not a huge region to tap into . I don’t think Moreton Bay is the answer . I understand why they just went with Dolphins .

They could call themselves whatever they want ......they will fail .....

The NRL would have been far better off surrounding Brisbane with sides from Ipswich , Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast ...breaking that Brisbane link and letting the areas attract their own local fans

Fans that are still linked to the old BRL clubs are probably still supporting their post Broncos sides or Titans /Cowboys fans

Most people who were still linked to the BRL clubs post Broncos were or are so appalled by the way the Broncos treated them they hate the Broncos .....2 clubs that were linked as feeder clubs to the Broncos (Wests and Toowoomba ) no longer exist as Qld cup clubs

That’s a fair point . The reality is though , that all 3 bids were tied to existing QRL clubs . It was the only way any of them could secure enough support and funding . I thought Redcliffe were getting 5k plus to thier games even as a feeder team .
It’s really about how well they can engage the northern suburbs , and get people to look past existing links . There’s also a lot of expats from other regions , looking for a local team to raise thier kids on not called the broncos . I think a few on here ditched the tigers for them recently.
The Brisbane bombers entry ceo at the time , made a point about the fact the team had to be in central Brisbane as a viable alternate to the broncos , and any regional based team would just alienate the rest of Brisbane . It seems he may have had a point .
What the broncos did to the crushers is garbage . Really this all should have happened 25 years ago .

But you are asking Brisbane fans to support another Brisbane club ........

If you had chosen Ipswich or Toowoomba or even the Sunshine Coast they can back their own local side instead of Brisbane ...thats a big difference

I imagine they'd have lots of advertising come closer to 2023. Many free tickets, have some attractions and promote game day events. And Bennett has already come out and said their first signing will likely be a very big signing, that'll help.

Maybe they won't get passionate fans for a while, but the NRL doesnt care about them, it cares about money from tv advertising. As long as they get a good deal with Fox, the fans they dont care about.

Maybe Broncos and Dolphins could get alternate Friday nights, maybe this'll bring Broncos back down to earth finally.

Well there you go.

At least Broncos are rubbish now anyway, the biggest plus of NRL 2021.

Yeah the Cows have many fans travel to games from Cairns ...Mt Isa ...Mackay etc has to be a weekend away

Titans usually prefer Sunday day games as people can book out of accomodation ...grab some lunch ...show up at any major shopping mall and get a bus to the game .....and a bus back and head home

Well that annoys me.

Because what about us. What actually is our preference? Do we even have one, or do we have many, as our preference would likely change depending on which of the various stadiums we elect to play out of.

So this is another example of a potential advantage that we forego.

Anyway, I'm just jealous. I sure hope when we play this Dolphin mob in 2023 that we beat em, it would be embarrassing to lose to a club just put together all higgity piggity when we have been 'rebuilding' for so long.

I think the FTA / Fox deal is to have a Qld side playing Friday ....I think when the Broncos are a decent side it pulls about 1.2-1.8 million viewers ......

If you had chosen Ipswich or Toowoomba or even the Sunshine Coast they can back their own local side instead of Brisbane ...thats a big difference

Wouldn’t Ipswich double the crowd counting both heads…?

I live in Brizzy and have been supporting the tigers & magpies since mid sixties so when we had to merge I loved it, but one thing that's erked me was the lack if effort to keep our strip traditional, if we kept the big 'V' and big tigers head in black and gold with white thrown in and kept it the same forever then kids growing up following the weststigers would identify themselves with the strip. The Dolphins had a chance to target Redcliffe and an awesome strip but a huge fail for me. Bennett holding up the new Dolphins jersey with KINGS on the front looked like a basketball shirt. I would not connect with that rubbish.
There is enough merchandise to sell without changing playing strips every year too.... Just change the sponsors name in the back shoulders and sleeves. Long live traditions and chivalry!

If i lived in the area and was considering switching allegiance to a new team such as the Dolphins I'd find it tough given that the name holds no regional connection. Surely Moreton Bay Dolphins makes much more sense? Moreton Bay is a huge area that would draw so many fans in if there was a naming connection.

But Redcliffe is still part of Brisbane ......many will be Brisbane fans or if they can't stand the Broncos like a fair few of the ex BRL fans Titans or Cows .....

When Redcliffe goes under ......and they will .....Mr Vlandy's and Abdo will have a lot to answer for

Will they ? I gotta say none of those names exactly scream “exciting new franchise” . They straight up should be called the Brisbane Dolphins . Or north Brisbane , or even SEQ , and have some link to the crushers .
Moreton Bay anything seems like a fad to me .
Isn’t North Lakes akin to what’s going on in Narellan ? It’s not like there’s not a huge region to tap into . I don’t think Moreton Bay is the answer . I understand why they just went with Dolphins .

They could call themselves whatever they want ......they will fail .....

The NRL would have been far better off surrounding Brisbane with sides from Ipswich , Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast ...breaking that Brisbane link and letting the areas attract their own local fans

Fans that are still linked to the old BRL clubs are probably still supporting their post Broncos sides or Titans /Cowboys fans

Most people who were still linked to the BRL clubs post Broncos were or are so appalled by the way the Broncos treated them they hate the Broncos .....2 clubs that were linked as feeder clubs to the Broncos (Wests and Toowoomba ) no longer exist as Qld cup clubs

That’s a fair point . The reality is though , that all 3 bids were tied to existing QRL clubs . It was the only way any of them could secure enough support and funding . I thought Redcliffe were getting 5k plus to thier games even as a feeder team .
It’s really about how well they can engage the northern suburbs , and get people to look past existing links . There’s also a lot of expats from other regions , looking for a local team to raise thier kids on not called the broncos . I think a few on here ditched the tigers for them recently.
The Brisbane bombers entry ceo at the time , made a point about the fact the team had to be in central Brisbane as a viable alternate to the broncos , and any regional based team would just alienate the rest of Brisbane . It seems he may have had a point .
What the broncos did to the crushers is garbage . Really this all should have happened 25 years ago .

True ...but unlike our Southern counterparts ..we don't have an appendage hanging from our sole head that we refuse to remove ......
