I know it's Tah-ish but that blue is awful.

The blue and the reddy-brown (I thought it was meant to be more maroon) are callbacks to the 'original' Wobs jerseys that used NSW and QLD colours

Yeah, I think it's more the execution that mostly missed the mark

Posted in the Brumbies thread, but has some relevance here regarding a lack of third tier...

I presumed there would have been something to do with playing in State colours prior/early post federation.
Doesn't stop it looking butt ugly, particularly pairing a very uninteresting blue with the maroon piping.
Very uninteresting blue is one of the preferred clothing colours for men over 70.

Disappointing they could release the 'Prison Green' version. Really engage a new audience.

I have been back in QLD for over a year now, so can’t speak for the Rebels current position but I know only 18months ago they are desperate for more games above a club level. Funding is the issue but their thinking internally was exactly the same as the Brums position here.
That’s 2/5 clubs, surely they arent the only ones especially with the Force and Reds so proactive in arranging more games.

Depends how you define young...
I think RMW have realised there has been a big culture shift in the white-collar world over the last decade and they've actually done some great marketing campaigns aimed at the younger generation, released some 'new style' boots and sneakers.
The reality is for many new 'young professionals' parting with $600 for a pair of boots isn't high on their agenda. I'm sitting in an office in town right now (very pre-covid of me) and at a glance, out of the 10 odd male staff in my immediate area, only three have RMs on (me included) and they're all part of the executive team.
In terms of the campaign itself, like I said in a previous post, I'll quite happily wear some of the socks or the hats. I like the brand.

Maybe if they fixed the bloody 2nd Tier, then they wouldn't have to fly half way round the world for practice matches
