The first job of advertising is to be noticed. Looks like they stopped there.I don't mind sponsorship on jerseys if it is done sympathetically and doesn't detract from the feel of the jersey. Historically we've had some pretty simple sponsors that didn't look too bad - Pioneer, Wormald, P&O, even the white Kaspersky on maroon looked OK in my opinion. We've had some bad ones though, PEPSI, Delmege, Quantam, but the green blob is the worst..
I don't understand why they don't make the effort to try and design the logo into the jersey so that it complements the look. The whole "take corporate logo and plaster on front of jersey" is so lazy and underwhelming. Design these days is so easy in the digital age, but no one wants to make the effort. Its' not just Manly, there are some horror shows from other clubs as well - i think the worst was the Bulldogs Camp Quality one.
And it's worked.
