Yep - I hate no collar. Looks awful. Didn't seem to hurt the Broncos or Storm on the field though. I wonder if it is a player driven thing. That jersey however is a Classic one, used by a Manly A Grade team touring the UK recently, nothing to do with the NRL club at all.
Apparently BE emailed Zorba and the response he got is Yes this will be the new design I hate them minus the collar, 150 is a bit too expensive to buy a t-shrit
Collars can be easily grabbed. A tight fitting collarless jersey can't. I can see the obvious merit in it.
I like them. Just as long as they dont do a Hunt on Choc and make him wear an xtra small. I agree with Ryan , that they would make it harder to be tackled.
I dont buy that Collar being easier to tackle theory. Does that mean we also get rid of footy socks and move to the ankle high socks so defenders cant grasp hold of a bit of sock. Footy jerseys must have collars, otherwise they look ghey !
Countless times as I was going around a defender they were able to grab my collar and swing me to the ground. I tight jumper without a collar can only make it harder on the tackler.
The collar is one thing. The tight fit jerseys are another completely. Just take a look at the slimes. They all look like they have bloated period pain. :twisted:
