is it just me or does the white strip appear to be narrower than it has been in the past?

Bernard Shakey · Thu 13 Dec 2007 1:51pm

Much narrower!

Brian Collis · Thu 13 Dec 2007 2:13pm

Arse some jumpers.

We're looking bewdiful for next year

Animal Enclosure · Thu 13 Dec 2007 4:19pm

I quite like the new look, very modern yet somehow a bit retro!

I hope the club crest is bigger on the fair dinkum guernsey though...it's too small on these apparent mock ups.

Jeld Wen are certainly a multi-national. Look at the global site. They are huge.

It's always amazed me why people show much interest in a club's sponsor. My interest begins and ends with the financial contribution.

TBH, I'm old school and I see advertising on the jumper and the field as an intrusion. In fact it disgusts me the level to which we've allowed it in Australian sport. We even have a logo on the ball FFS!

Watch 2 hours of sport in Australia and you watch 2 hours of constant advertising. It's a disgrace that the ACMA allow it.

Well... how would you like for it all to be paid for then???

Well, mate,

"Old school" would mean that our footballers would have full time jobs and have football as an interest with very little wage...

Is that what you really want??

All clubs need sponsorship to cover costs, and you really don't expect them to fork out large sums of money without adverts on jumpers.

JeffDunne · Post: # 502231Post **JeffDunne** » Thu 13 Dec 2007 6:45pm

Predictable responses.

Football clubs cost $25m+ to run per year because we've chosen to run them as $25m+ operations.

I have no problem with advertising provided it's not part of the game. That's why I don't care who it is that's sponsoring us - only what it's worth. I feel no loyalty to a sponsor because they are making a business decision to use our football club for exposure. I congratulate them on their taste but it doesn't make me feel like I should automatically become a loyal purchaser. Others obviously feel differently and good luck to those that do.

St Fid, as for your question, no I don't expect footballers to be amateurs. Football generates too much money to not pay the main participants.

My comment on being 'old school' is in relation to preserving the integrity of the sport.

I guess I should count my blessing and be thankful the AFL haven't turned the field into a NBL court. We at least have some restrictions.

St Fidelius · Thu 13 Dec 2007 6:49pm

So you see adverts on jumpers as an intrusion but you still want to see their money..

How would that work exactly ??

Unless I'm very much mistaken there are no advertising logo's on NFL or MLB on-field gear??

yeah, but the cheapest seats to go to an NFL game is $256US

Nonsense.

Granted it's more expensive but each team only gets 8 home games/year.

You would probably find the TV rights would be worth considerably more with clean stadiums and outfits. It might not offset the total $ income from individual club sponsorships but it would offset some of the difference.

i dare say the size of the market has a lot to do with that. compare the 20 million australians of which each club can get about 25-30,000 members to the size of the US of 300 million and you have a lot more potential to raise revenue through memberships, merchandise (which has a large global component compared to AFL), tv rights etc... they end up not needing sponsors. sure, the US in turn have greater costs, but it is still not in the same league (boom boom) as australia. Australia being much smaller just doesn't have the scale and leverage of such a market

JeffDunne · Post: # 502262Post **JeffDunne** » Thu 13 Dec 2007 7:52pm

NFL teams don't have memberships they have season ticket holders. The number of games means seats are a premium, but most stadium income is through corporate boxes rather than attendances. Many buy season tickets simply to have first dibs on a seat and sell the ticket when they're not going. Check out most games on stubhub (official ticket broker) and you'll see the face value of seats isn't that expensive (other than prime seats). For an 8 game package it isn't that expensive for a run of the mill seat (this week's Saints game (http://www.stubhub.com/new-orleans-sain ... _id=380578)

The NFL survive on massive TV rights deals and those broadcasters insist that the stadium be free of advertising. The NFL are control freaks and don't miss an opportunity to make $$$'s (they even regulate that coaches must wear NFL apparel), so if they thought stadium advertising would mean a net gain in revenue I'm sure they'd do it.

Yeah I only looked at Green Bay tickets but in any case it is way more expensive than AFL

I for one don't mind the logo if the prices are reasonable...

Here are the NFL prices....

Green Bay are the only team owned by the fans.

Packers fans don't give up seats often - they leave them in their will for their kids. They are a different kettle of fish.

I guess there's not a lot to do in Green Bay.
