New jerseys confirmed, Harry is back!

[cunno]

I must admit that I wasn't keen on the orange jersey but it looked good at the ground last night, first time I'd seen the design live. I don't mind the white one either, took a while to get used to it though.

 

[T-D-C]

Me and the Mrs both thought that the orange jerseys looked good last night.

So much so that I'm buying the orange one and she is going to buy the white one. Anyone know if they are in stock at the GearZone outlets yet?

Gearzone didn't have any last week but you could order them. I did see a WTs supporter sitting a gfew rows in front of me last night wearing one though so I don't know how he got it. I also saw another supporter with the polo shirt on that the players have been wearing as well, they're not at gearzone either.

They were selling them at the game last night in a WT shop near Aisle 110\. My nephew bought one. They were affixing the new sponsor name to the back of the jerseys as they were purchased. They were selling well. I would expect the Gearzone stores to have them now.

So the back sponsor is stuck on? Yuck.

Should be printed on. Guess that will be done in the second batch?

The difference in orange is very noticeable…..saw some old footage of balmain 70's last weekend, that was probably gold, wasnt orange, looked good.....but this hi vis fluoro crap looks terrible.
I think its a ploy for people to buy the new one, old jerseys are very noticeable next to them

in my opinion we have the worst looking jerseys in the competition at the moment.

Where as every other team has gone for simpler or retro designs… we have gone to the most higgledy piggledy design you could possibly have. And the orange is too bright. You need sunglasses to even look at it.

Completely agree, looks hideous.

The white one is slightly better, but still not very good and it has that stupid print on the front.

Number one design rule: KISS! (Keep It Simple Stupid). They failed.

Glad I bought last years strip.

 

[Spartan117]

Love both the Jerseys, Love the shade of Orange and the White.

It is Bold and stands out big time.

 

[Joel Helmes]

I like the design but feel the orange could be toned down a little.

 

[innsaneink]

Gunna look horrible, all these hi vis industrial vests amongst the real jerseys on the hill…will be highly noticeable the difference in oranges....will have the opposite effect theyre after imo

 

[Tap_Twist_Snap]

I think they look great but won't be buying one if they have iron on sponsors on them. If they were $50 fair enough but for the price they want to charge for the jerseys they should be fully printed. Anyone have any idea as to why they too apartments off the front? I thought they looked much better the way they were orignally were.

 

[Balmain_Bug]

They look bad.

But to improve the visual appearance I would have them wear the white shorts with that Orange jersey and black shorts with the white jersey.

Yes i agree with this BB. Especially in our white strips, black shorts would help break up the all white look a little.
As others have said i'm not huge on the fluro orange would much prefer a lighter option.
Also whats doing with the designs of the socks? It reminds me of soccer players wearing shin pads. Definitely would like to see that removed.

Did anyone catch the under 20's NZ v Parra match last week?

I reckon the warriors jersey is the best jersey i have ever seen, not the black one the FG wore but the under 20's. By the way the black FG jersey was awesome as well.

Correct. there were 50 australian made jerseys with the hyundai and eglobal stuck on, sold at games and a few distributed to the gearzone's.

will be sublimated from now on and made in china or thailand or tibet or wherever they can get a jersey made for 2 cents :slight_smile:

 

[thylacine]

Thought the jerseys looked ok tonight. Anything's an improvement on last year. At least they look like jerseys.

 

[Swannie47]

First time I've seen the Jerseys live and IMO they looked very good. Will be getting one once I get that 2nd mortgage sorted out.

 

[Kul]

they don't look like jerseys, they look like a 15 year old has had five minutes on Photoshop and the orange is the wrong colour



seeing the new jersey worn in the crowd today compared to the plethora of other jerseys made me wonder if this current design was for the Wests Tigers or some other team.

It bemuses me that in this era where teams are going back to the basic, simple designs, we've gone for Tiger Print and RTA vests.
Parra: simple base colour, three narrow stripes
Penrith: simple base colour, four narrow dual-colour stripes across the middle
Souths: same simple design
Easts: simple base with a V
St George: just the V
Warriors: base colour, alternate colour trims
Bulldogs: simple modern interpretation of the V

it's not that hard to design a simple gold, black and white jersey.

for all the good things that Humphreys has done, this is an epic fail

 

[towntiger]

I think the jerseys looked awesome. They are very Wests Tigers.

Kul - i believe ours suit our team as we are only 11 or so years old. We dont have the history of all the retro designs you mention.
