Brumbies 2016

[TOCC]

Predominant team colour:

Blue - Waratahs
Blue - Force
Blue - Rebels
Blue - Bulls
Blue - Blues
Blue - Stormers
Blue - Highlanders

And now the Brumbies and potentially the Argentina team..

Everyone's gonna be blue and the Reds are just gonna blow

Blue is more wearable and sells more jerseys. It's also the least intimidating colour.

Best way to boost merchandise sales is to change the Jersey. Having said that, I've still got my original blue Rebels jesery and typically hang out until the EOY sales for a discounted Jersey (tight arse, I know).

Even the Reds have a blue jersey

I'm not too fussed about a new design...........

My beef is that they've removed the white from the jersey which made it stand out from the other teams...............

Having said that, we still haven't seen it yet............

So, did they remove the white to have a subtle jab at their former coach?

I think if you're going to do away with tradition then you need to at least make an effort..............

This is incredibly lame.

 

[Highlander35]

That's butt ugly.

No offence. Most teams globally have had at least 2 or 3 stinkers, but that looks like they tried to emulate an international style top, with no elegance or tradition involved.

What happened to the one off jersey from earlier this year or last year? That was great. Must have sold so well they decided it wasn't worth doing again.

For people worrying about the white panel being removed, it's not like it's the first time

And the chances are they'll still wear a 'heritage' jersey for one of the rounds (giving them a chance to sell more merchandise).

Plus there will probably be a special ANZAC Day jersey, and maybe a few others. Though I think they've got a way to go to catch up the Canberra Raiders NRL team, who now seem to go through about 8 different jerseys over the course of the year (home, away, superhero, indigenous, women in league, ANZAC, heritage, etc, etc)

It looks a little busy with all the sponsors and logos, surely the Super Rugby logo doesn't need to be so big. I prefer retro over new designs like this.

It would seem there's been more effort put into the jersey launch then the actual jersey itself.

I like it. But what would I know, I'm a girl. Saying that though my 19 year old son loves it and he's already ordered one.

Different strokes for different folks.

In terms of its fashionability (new word?), the dark blue with just a few spots of yellow and some white logos is probably more wearable socially, though the multiple logos are a bit off-putting. But as a team jersey it lacks the tribal focus of the blue, yellow and white. Its not a Brumbies shirt any more, its closer to a Rebels off-cast shirt or a Reds away outfit. The designers obviously do not understand how to make it tribal.

When the Reds play the Brumbies in Canberra there is going to be some issues readily identifying who's who at the bottom of the ruck. Slightly lighter dark blue vs slightly darker dark blue is a recipe for a misunderstanding, especially if its raining and muddy. If someone belts his own player I'll kack myself but then I support the Tahs. The team supporters won't be so amused.

I assume the Reds will play in their red jerseys anyways...............

But they both wouldn't be wearing blue would they? I'm sure they'll work it out.

OMFG!!! What the hell is that??? Looks like a training t-shirt

I apologize if I ever said that Classic should be the Wallabies provider
