Waratahs 2014

[Hugh Jarse]

While the jumper may be a bit meh, the inclusion of the NSW map on the back is a rather important statement from Chieka.

 

[Lindommer]

The New South Wales outline looks suspiciously like the logo produced by Resch's for "the beer we drink round here" campaign in 1986. Which isn't surprising with Cheika at the helm of the Tahs as Resch's was particularly popular in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Is there any real chance that Cheika was involved in the design? Surely the "art department" or some highly paid designer would have responsibility for this.
Or is he the only full time employee now?
I would have thought the volvo gender logo suited marketing perfectly.

its an alright jersey, nothing special. I doubt the map is really a statement, just comes from the tradition that the waratahs represent all of new south wales. The pro teams certainly need to get better jersey designers o the case though!

p.s. the volvo logo actually derives from the symbol of iron in sweden, which goes to the astrological symbol for mars. The male gender symbol also derives from the symbol of mars.

Next years alternate jersey, Ponies won't be pleased about the design on the back:

Really can't see any Brumbies' players or fans being upset by the map on the back, but I would think that all Tahs' fans should be outraged by the overall design and colour scheme.

Not a huge fan of the away strip I really liked one from this year with the hoops thought that was a really good rugby strip

I reckon the best alternate/away jersey design of recent times was the 2010 one.

I have heard 2014 is the end of the Tahs' five year contract with Canterbury. Judging by the design of this year's alternate jersey, it could be time for another supplier with fresh ideas.

Or is he the only full time employee now?

He may not be the only full time employee, but Chieks is likely to be only one in the upper hierarchy that is getting the organisation heading in the right direction.

I am old fashioned, I like hooped classic jerseys

A NSW map on the jersey has all the hallmarks of mediocre marketers struggling to find a new spin, and failing

I've just seen some of the Brumbies guys on here get a bit riled up because southern NSW is Brumbies territory

The map on the back was probably a lightbulb moment from one of the Waratahs' famous interns.

 

[Ruggo]

Don't they just need a map of the North Shore and the Eastern Suburbs on the back of the jersey?

Because it was gifted to them - in the interests of Australian rugby.

What is important is the form on the field. Can't see how some second rate jumper design is going to be instrumental in that. Hardly worth getting riled up about.

Possibly your best work!

Fuck that.
Pay attention, the front of the jersey makes fat blokes look thin.
Bit worried about the BBQ sauce down the front though!
(It's about us,not the players isn't it?)

Why not go the whole hog & add a map of tassie in front

(I know , very poor however had to be said)

Priorities. You're right of course. Let me just pull my head in.

Need to find a spot for Sydney Uni too!!

So they have a horizontal line, a vertical line and a big star. I like it.

The postie just arrived with my member's pack. Member's card and lanyard. A key ring (vastly superior to last year's effort), a sticker featuring state map (a little bit similar to away jumper) and a cap voucher. Just about ready for the season to start now.
