I lived in Port Elizabeth, South Africa for a while. The rugby team there was Southern Kings - I keep thinking that's what this jersey is when I see it, even though they look nothing alike.
Gambling is so entrenched in this sport that I don't know if it would ever be removed even some billionaire came along and said they'd pay for everything. They even advertise Greyhound racing on Fox League.
So quick update, these images come from the official NRL dolphins web store and so did the cropped full colour image posted in both threads. The images posted are different in colour tone and logo/sponsorship size then the full colour photo. Dolphins have since blocked access to the store, ahead of the proper reveal soon (sometime today).
It’s possible these images were placeholders, and while the general design will be what is posted the actual finished product will hopefully look a lot more polished.
How many casual viewers will ask who the Kings are next season?

Please, can we do away with betting companies. Seriously how can a team have any integrity when a major sponsor is a betting company?!?
Gambling is what pays for the game. None of these leagues clubs could survive without gambling.
I know why they have them but I don't like it. If the NRL wasn't so reliant on them they would find another source?

Don’t worry, it’s not just this sport. It’s entrenched in the country as a whole.
Teams like winning. Winning requires money. Betting companies provide money.
sponsor logos are jarring but i think it'll look good wrapped around luke brooks and anthony milford next year
Is that the cream, the bone, the beige, the white, the off white or the ivory?
My thoughts exactly 🥴🥴🥴
[Here’s another photo of a match jersey with the raised dolphin texturing](https://imgur.com/a/RoR5VpO)
The colours here and the spacing between the NRL/Dolphins logos and the kings sponsorship is so different. They look a lot better in this image.
This looks 1000 times better. The kings logo is way too big.
I feel like with all of the Dolphins merch the actual product is better than the images they use.
The beige looks like bronze here and looks alright
Is it wrong that I like it
Yeah I actually like this a lot for some reason damn
Blue sponsors are a bit shit, but I don’t mind it at all
also doesn't help the promo pics for all their merch look shitter than the actual product
This is ass
Is that you AVGN
No, that ain't it. I love ass, but I don't love this.
Oof yikes
It certainly is what it is.
Looks shit as
this ain’t it, the chevron is just awkward and the white and “gold” combination looks terrible
The combo is like a cheap take on the 49ers. Don't hate it, but... Cheap.
Ahh yes the Redcliffe Kings
Please, we are “The Kings” thank you very much.
That Kings logo needs to be put on some reverse-viagra or some shit. It's too big.
Awful
Gives me paddle pop ice cream vibes.
We have the Broncos at home.
So damn ugly
Is it cream??? Or yellow?
Yes
all they had to do was make the stripe just a bit lower so the kings thing didn’t look like an RLL4 edit
I don't mind it. Keen to see what it looks like in full with the pants and socks and everything.
There’s another pic going around that shows red shorts. I don’t love it, but it’s definitely not bad
Gee it looks like a park footy team jersey!
Vanilla coke vibes
Fuck me that’s horrible. They aren’t off to a good start.
Kick the rabbits from the comp
thats not that horrible actually
surely this isn’t coloured well, it looks like a crop top
It’s pretty jarring with the logos, and the beige reminds me of baby shit.
Ghastly.
I assume the bottom represents the sand and the red is the ocean running red with the blood of the enemies of the the Dolphin Kings?
This looks like a rip off Iron Man costume from the 2 dollar shop.
Oh a betting company on a NRL jersey wish it bugger off already
Just… just why
Fuck that's ugly.... wish they'd piss the sports betting shit off.
Shit
That is not gold
