Wests Tigers "big news" at 3pm 2/10/14

1\. It's marketing and ISC want some exposure for their money
2\. The average punter doesn't give a rats who makes the gear- xblades, Adidas,ISC or my gran, so long as it looks good

I think people need to get a grip, sure it wasn't what some may consider "big news" but what do you expect the club to do??

We sign a new apparel sponsor for 5 years and you don't want them to announce it as big news, **maybe we should have just put it under the heading of "things we don't give a stuff about"**, I'm sure our new sponsor and future sponsor would love the way we leverage of the partnership and give them a positive return on their investment.

One of the main reasons companies like ISC sponsor clubs is for exposure in the marketplace which is exactly what we are trying to do.

:sign:

Yep definitely should've because I don't give a stuff about marketing, profits, who's scratching who's back and who's palms are being greased off the field - I just want to be able to support a team capable of winning on the field!
 
@Flippedy,agree with your last statement regarding winning on the field 100 percent,however having another sponsor on board does give us confidence that some are still willing to put into the club,which only can be a good thing overall…

Is that the ISC make? I would have thought Blades would have had some rights to the strip design, or does the club/NRL retain those rights?

I agree with beachtiger.

Without marketing, profits etc we could not afford a team that is capable of winning anything.

Great news.
 
I understand why they did it this way, I am annoyed that they did it this way. Only so many "big news" teasers before it becomes a joke.
 
Call it what it actually is

Big sponsorship news , big signing news

Just be honest How hard is that ??

Don't call goldfish gold

from what i understand, NRL has the licence. Club designs it for the NRL (or gets someone to design for them) and Blades make it. Blades might get a bit of input on design, but club has the rights to the jersey design.

So this is big news

What happens when we sign the Qld SOO backline bar Boyd ??

I'll take that as a joke. Couldn't think of anything worse.

Yes I am jesting

Be awful having Thurston and Cronk feeding Inglis and Hodges with Slater /Tedesco at the back and Pattycakes kicking them form everywhere

I couldn't live with myself winning premiership after premiership

Point I was making if signing jersey maker is "big news" imagine if we sign someone ,anyone of note ??

Will it be humongous news , merely massive news ,possibly incredibly large news or gigantic news ??

For me this in important stuff :smiley:
 
Does anyone know if the 2015 kits will be the same or similar to 2014?

Personally was not a massive fan of this years and hoping for a new design.

Will be pretty cool if we get a marvel jersey next year.

Also, what is your favourite version of the Wests Tigers jersey?

Mine would be 2005 alternate/2013 main.

I really liked this year's design and bought my first ever jersey. The material is pretty rubbish, however, and needs to be improved with a harder wearing fabric.

Which one did you get? I didn't mind the heritage jersey but we only wore it once I think. Lower grades wore it all season.
