New Irish Rugby Jersey Sponsors?

Noopti · 14-04-2009 1:53pm

I agree. This is a big deal between Puma and the IRFU, and especially now that Ireland won the Grand Slam.

I would say Puma will design a new jersey for Ireland. I can't see them just changing the colours on the Bath jersey.

can we get rid of the cow**** green and bring back the emerald green of old. the current jersey is absolutely fugly.

Jesus. That actually looks pretty sweet. I could actually see myself wearing that

Send it off to Puma, and make millions.....

The actual shirt would already have been designed and ticketed for delivery in time for august.

Brilliant effort BOX, that's a great looking jersey.

But I don't think I've ever seen a Puma jersey I've actually liked - I fear it's gonna be pretty horrendous!

Re-jigged the colours (Used your 3D image B0X, hope you don't mind?) to a brighter more emerald green.

theKramer · 15-04-2009 11:04am

Too bright. Too bright :cool: :cool:

Make it a paler green. Its getting close to perfection though.

Note: I hope you conformed to the terms of copyright when you changed the colours of BOX's design

How about this:

theKramer · 15-04-2009 11:24am

Perfect

Now lets all band together and start a petition to get Puma to use that design, even though they might have already finalised another design

P.S. Noopti, you must be doing as little as me at work if you have the time to immediately respond to my post about the brightness of the colours

Junior · 15-04-2009 11:25am

Jesus it looks very rugby league all the same ..

I doubt any sponsor would want a coloured band interfering with their logo...

erm.....I'm very busy!!

I am not too gone on the design tbh.
I really like simple jersey designs. If they designed a very simple, green jersey with now wierd flashes, arm designs etc I would be happy.
Like this:

Edit: Oops, forgot the sponsor. One second.....here we go:

We could be called the "All Greens"........ :pac:

Either design is nice, I'd personaly go for the 3d model as I like the tightness (sounds pervy). Am I correct in saying that I read somewhere the IRFU were also looking at changing the crest design? Something about an all Ireland design although I can't see whats wrong with the current one?

bleg · 15-04-2009 11:52am

those last two are really nice i think.

The 2nd one is the All Blacks jersey, which has the same "tight" fitting as most jerseys these days. You just can't see it from the pic because it is not on a player. Maybe I will edit an actual All Black player shot.......Richie McCaw for Ireland!!

Don't see the point in changing the crest......it's not like is has a tri-colour element or anything.

Noopti · 15-04-2009 12:13pm

Ok, here is the second design....in action so to speak. Apparently McCaw has an Irish Great Grandmother and the rules limiting which country you played previously for have been abolished.

Rattlehead_ie · 15-04-2009 12:35pm

I whole heartily endose this picture

and the new jersey.
Ah sure Auld Misses McCaw, she was a fierce woman, I rememeber hitting a rugby ball into her garden, never to be seen again.

i wish nike would sponsor us;

Nike can go to hell. I used to work in a sports store and I refused to Sell Nike to anyone when possible. I used to convince them otherwise or pretend we didnt have the size. Nike run slave shops in South America and support child labour and this is widely known but yet no one gives a bollocks! :mad: Why I dont know?!?

Pick any label of a popular sports label and the same will apply.

Because there are a lot of economic arguments that are in favour of what you call "slave shops". It may be unpalatable for you to accept, or even to contemplate, but for many of these kids it's actually better that they are paid a pittance for labour rather than paid nothing and left to starve.

Don't really think this post is about discussing the ethical or moral implications of buying gear from certain manufacturers.....

Exactly.

By the way, do you know how to put a collar on to BOX's design? I think it would look even better with a small collar, like the Leicester or Ospreys jerseys

Yeah, Im going to hell. I've said and done worse
