~knights1~ said:they just had C.bailey(home) and Wes.N (away) modelling the jerseys on the news
and i gotta say that wes's looked nearly white on tv ...it looked alot better than the photos
definitely more silver than grey
Thats heaps good news! I would love to see them modelling them... As I said before I am sure once you see them in real life, they will suit you more.

I think the NRL logo sits to low, but I guess it will be the same on all the teams jerseys. Also thanks for the info Moore

im almost certain he is refering to the 169.95 price tag that goes all season...and to the person that asked from my knowledge it is ISC's reqest that stocked shops reduce it to at least 75.95 but lower is ok...Never happens with origin jerseys though

Im 100% sure they wont be Under $100
Definitely wont be any less than $150 when its released. Especially if they're released before Christmas, sales would be bound to be at a high.
By about early November next year should be when they start to drop. Unless we finish bottom 3, where this shop discounted ours, Penrith's and the Raiders jerseys during September.

Hi again,
I will answer what I can, although you guys are answering each other questions pretty correctly.
With regards pricing, the fact that ISC were running out of contract meant that they were clearing jerseys to retail at pretty low prices, hence the lower price at the till. This is pretty unusual. Because we cannot change the jersey for two years you will also find that retailers won't clear stock too much this year as the same jersey will be available in the following year. This is an NRL rule which protects the fans from having to shell out every year for a new jersey to keep up with what the players are wearing.
I don't think any supplier is too keen on the CORL logo as it does muck up the balance of the jersey and make the NRL logo very low.
But I guess the proof of the pudding is when your jerseys arrive in store and you can get a look at them. I think you guys will be pretty happy with not just the jersey but the whole range. The winter gear is also very technical, some waterproof gear and I can tell you that the cheapest jacket we will have at retail will be around $50 fully sponsored.
I have just sent the Heritage artwork to James so you can have a look, just remember this one is not our choice, just what they wore a hundred years ago! It is definitely different.

Hey hey hey hey.... back up now you hear! :razz:
As for this CORL logo messing everything up, why didn't they do a combined NRL/CORL logo just for this year to save having the two.
Looking forward to the winter gear, I had to buy one of those $100 jackets last year as it was freezing all the time and I wanted everyone to know I was a knights fan. I would love a new jacket! Dave is going to get the silver jersey. I like them both (can't really afford them and happy to wear old ones) but I really don't like the grey socks they look a bit school boy ;)

I would've preferred this too. In the pictures we got back in the paper, the NRL logo was aligned with the Knights logo, with the CORL logo above. But now it seems they've met half way to try to balance it out, and now it looks cluttered. Did Kooga have any say in the arrangement of these logos?
If I was buying a jersey, i'd probably go with the silver one as well.
