VEGAS TEAMS EYE JERSEY MOVE
The four clubs travelling to Las Vegas next year are planning to follow in the footsteps of the Bulldogs and have every player’s name on their jersey.
Canterbury had success by selling Las Vegas-specific jerseys this year. And Melbourne, the Tigers, Parramatta and Gold Coast want to do the same.
“We are keen on running a similar program,” said Tigers boss Shaun Mielekamp.
“It was a success for the Bulldogs. We are still a week or two away from locking that in and he hope we will have a jersey with the names on the back.”
Canterbury players were paid $20 for the sale of any jerseys with their name on their back, with skipper Stephen Crichton the most popular.
Meanwhile, four Tigers legends – Robbie Farah, Steve Roach, Benny Elias and John Skandalis – have joined together to put on an experience for Tigers fans in Las Vegas.
Farah’s company two4seven are offering packages having teamed up with Elias, Roach and the Tigers where the group will get along to exclusive functions and be part of their game-day suite experience.
