Epic detective work Cody_

Yeah I'm pretty confident it's fake and deceptive – who uses impact anymore? – but this entire forum revolves around favouritism and cliques so despite a warning, nothing'll happen to Mero but it will happen to the next person who does it. Would love to be proved wrong but I'm pretty sure Gibbo said the next person would be carded?

 

[SwampCreature]

Yeah you seem like a guy that really hates personality cliques.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

Uhm...

...Really?

S'alright mate, we'll just blame it on your long hours of template work.

5 year deal whoa!

 

[Groupie_]

complete with a BLK wack

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

I'm horny.

 

[King_Steele]

Come on St Kilda..

Get moving..

 

[jroam82]

Richmond to Puma?

S'up y'all?

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

I'm guessing gear won't be available until Feb/March.
'Before the 2017 season' could mean a whole range of things.
At least show us the jumper Puma!!!

 

[Dylan8]

Great to see Puma pick up another team.

5 year deal whoa!

Five year deal, players gear AND retail gear, and all before season start

Best outcome we could have hoped for.

Also a big sign of the change in the perceptions of our club, five years with one of the bigger players would have been unheard of for richmond even 2-3 years ago

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

I've always had it in my head that ISC and BLK seem like more of low level, amateur grade brands compared to the Adidas and Nikes of the sporting industry. So it's nice to see another world recognised brand with another team, it just makes it seem more professional in my eyes.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

On behalf of everyone who cares. Congratulations Tigers supporters ! You've all suffered through the dark old days or should i say faded days of BLK. Onwards and upwards.

[Silent Alarm]

Unless you have concrete proof that what you haven't posted is a fake, then I'm going to have to infract you like I did the North poster who put up that fake Canterbury jumper.

There's a zero tolerance policy on fakes or concepts in any of these 'new jumper' threads.

Gonna enforce this?

Yeah being sponsored by Puma is really going to change how you're seen... not the fact you never play finals.

Keep the bay stuff in the bay

Rfc has struggled to get top tier sponsorship deals and merch arrangements for years. Part because of our onfield, but a big part due to the rabble our club was. We failed to give sponsors any value in spite of the size of our supporter base.

This isnt an end step, but a progressive one showing the perceptions of rfc as a commercial partner are changing

Don't lump ISC with BLK. They're not a prestigious name but they don't cut corners with quality particularly on-field.

 

[Gibbsy]

Absolutely. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. But vigilante modding is hardly helpful either.

It's not bay stuff, it's the truth. The average person cares about wins and reality is, Richmond are seen as pretenders.

As for commercial deals, that's irrelevant to public perception. Sponsorships are brokered through nepotism and mates doing deals. And fundamentally every company wants to have their logo on the jumper of the premiers. What are you trying to say? Richmond have not delivered a good, successful image for their sponsors. Sure there is coaching stability, a lack of off-field dramas, but fundamentally they're not seen as intimidating or good on field. Don't say I'm being a troll when this is fundamental to your argument – on-field success colours perception of a sports team.
