The actual Aramex logo looks like it white on red, which would look a fair bit worse then the current logo.

I can imagine they've said we want the current logo on the match jerseys, which considering what they are paying, I don't have a problem with.
They have a white on black version, too. Which you can see looks way better. Someones just decided they want to make a point of the hero colour, red.

The training stuff seems to be white/black, which makes me wonder if they specifically want red on the match jerseys.

If red is part of their branding, I don't really have a problem with them wanting it on the jerseys.

They want their logo to jump out more on the game kit is absolutely the case
They couldn’t give a **** if anyone in here think it looks good or not - red on white, size and placement would all be their call (per whatever we’ve signed for)

The fact we can’t look past it is exactly their desired outcome

No, it’s the fact that the merch team don’t know how to make a better jersey with that red on white rule imposed on them is the problem

You can’t look past the Aramex because the jersey design for the logo is wack

Exactly this logo argument is distracting everyone from the actual issue.

Classic makes garbage products and fans need to be vocal that we don't want to extend our partnership with them.

Dynasty has been the best, simple.

Xblades and Classic are best&less rip offs.

It's a two edged sword, you might not like Classic, but you may love the fact that you can get new merch before Xmas.

There were times with Xblades and Dynasty when we couldn't even own that years jersey till after round 1 or 2.

Yeah Classic isn't great quality, but I can't remember a time when our merch has been so widespread and accessible

By all reports Dynasty werent a great brand to deal with.

At the end of the day, the jersey company really dhouldnt be to blame for what jerseys we put out. People at the club are signing off

It’s still really bad, but I think the white on red would look a bit better than red on white. IMG_3208.jpeg Obviously white on black would be our preference but aramex were never going to let that happen, but I don’t think red on black is too much of an ask from them.

Absolutely
They are actively motivated to not blend it
But if they’re looking at the long term then they’d want to integrate it well. If the jersey’s a hit then more people will buy it and it might become a classic that you’ll still be seeing in the crowd in 20 years time, which I think this design had the chance to be. But with the way it’s been executed, the chances of seeing it worn by fans in the future is pretty slim

They gave us quality merch, just didn't do great deadlines.

A lot if it came from signing with them on the tail end of covid and then being a NZ company.

Classic is literally around the corner

They want it bold and obvious on tv now
Not difficult to notice in a crowd in 20 years

The Sharks Store at Bay Central has some Sharks stockings and Santa hats and Christmas stubby holders, all $10 each. Don’t think they are online

picked up some of the new training gear at Savvy Supporters Caringbah (how our club doesn't have stock before external companies is beyond me)...

Talk about sticking to you when you're out for a run!
