Unlikely to be jersey announcement, I expect manufacturer announcement and merch release.

It appears to be common knowledge that Canterbury are the new apparel manufacturer - weird timing to just hint at new jersey designs too when the club would be best served by marketing an actual product for Xmas pre-orders!

This would have already been months in the works with Canterbury regardless of the formal 1st November licensed apparel-agreement contract commencement date!

Delaying the jersey design announcement until December-January makes zero business sense when you want supporters to open up their wallets during the festive season when they are inclined to.

There is a jersey launch event for sponsors on the 14th of November, would be poor form in my opinion to release the jersey before you launch it.

I was told it's a brand-new jersey design from someone who's seen them. Will announce Canterbury merch deal at the same time.

God I hope so. 🙄

My annual rant... May as well copy paste it, but here we are.

I know I'm in the vast minority, but I'm sick and tired of minor iterations of the same jerseys year after year; It's boring and the reveals are always so underwhelming.

I know, tradition and all that... but the tigers' colours are as good as any - if not the best in the NRL - to work with, yet the club insists on clinging to superficial symbols of the past (chevrons, magpie on shoulders).

Imo, every year the club's best looking jersey is the indigenous one or if not that, the Anzac one.

There is massive opportunity to sell a lot of jerseys if they would just give it a contemporary look that would be worn in public without screaming "sports jersey".

I'm in my 50's, and I do not get around rocking a tigers jersey....

 Unpopular, but personally I would introduce a completely chevron, magpie and Balmain tiger-free alternative jersey to be worn a couple of times a year to gauge sales and minimise any outcry. Then slowly see less and less of the "old school but it's 2025" type.

Inch by inch, so no one really notices... That's how every evil plan works!

I think the club needs to get with the times and put more focus on stuff that will sell, so that it is actually seen outside of an nrl stadium. Exposure grows brands, which grows clubs.

I'd also be pushing a "WT" monogram (a la the NY Yankees) for general merch more too, as it is more understated and suitable to be worn around by people of any age.

I know it's not the consensus, but this is just my view.
