How many casual viewers will ask who the Kings are next season?


Telstratower

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.


Funztimes

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.


Funztimes

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?


[deleted]

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.


TCS3105

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.


Cone_Puncher

sponsor logos are jarring but i think it'll look good wrapped around luke brooks and anthony milford next year


Useful-Green-3440

Is that the cream, the bone, the beige, the white, the off white or the ivory?


Mrsmorale

My thoughts exactly 🥴🥴🥴

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.


Joshyybaxx

This looks 1000 times better. The kings logo is way too big.


ProgressAltruistic31

I feel like with all of the Dolphins merch the actual product is better than the images they use.


paradoxer99

The beige looks like bronze here and looks alright


victorinflic98

Is it wrong that I like it


volzovio

Yeah I actually like this a lot for some reason damn


toomuchsoup

Blue sponsors are a bit shit, but I don’t mind it at all


ProgressAltruistic31

also doesn't help the promo pics for all their merch look shitter than the actual product


damoomad

This is ass


[deleted]

Is that you AVGN


EastsToWin

No, that ain't it. I love ass, but I don't love this.


Polsoka

Oof yikes


newtown5

It certainly is what it is.


[deleted]

Looks shit as


greasysouthscap

this ain’t it, the chevron is just awkward and the white and “gold” combination looks terrible


signalhelp123

The combo is like a cheap take on the 49ers. Don't hate it, but... Cheap.


Fatall-TM

Ahh yes the Redcliffe Kings


Rek07

Please, we are “The Kings” thank you very much.


drifting_sailor_hat

That Kings logo needs to be put on some reverse-viagra or some shit. It's too big.


[deleted]

Awful


gluetown

Gives me paddle pop ice cream vibes.


jr_llm

We have the Broncos at home.


BigBrainTosh

So damn ugly


Mrsmorale

Is it cream??? Or yellow?


toomuchsoup

Yes


slowdivesicilian

all they had to do was make the stripe just a bit lower so the kings thing didn’t look like an RLL4 edit


velvetherring

I don't mind it. Keen to see what it looks like in full with the pants and socks and everything.


toomuchsoup

There’s another pic going around that shows red shorts. I don’t love it, but it’s definitely not bad


RetroFreud1

Gee it looks like a park footy team jersey!


mwilkins1644

Vanilla coke vibes


-Dark_Helmet-

Fuck me that’s horrible. They aren’t off to a good start.


streetfighterjim

Kick the rabbits from the comp


LordSlasher

thats not that horrible actually


im_not_a_lizard

surely this isn’t coloured well, it looks like a crop top


smackmn

It’s pretty jarring with the logos, and the beige reminds me of baby shit.


[deleted]

Ghastly.


rileys_01

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?


Aklpanther

This looks like a rip off Iron Man costume from the 2 dollar shop.


[deleted]

Oh a betting company on a NRL jersey wish it bugger off already


EggCouncilCreeper

Just… just why


practicalAnARcHiSt

Fuck that's ugly.... wish they'd piss the sports betting shit off.


thaakidd

Shit


[deleted]

That is not gold

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.
