Hi guys,
I have noticed that a few people have been asking about the reasoning behind this jersey concept and why the club would do it.
This is an amazing opportunity to show off our club at an international level, we are honoured that we have been approached for this by Marvel.
Marvel have thrown a lot of resources into the marketing of this worldwide, they have over 7 million facebook followers, that alone would make it crazy for us to not take this opportunity. Hugh Jackman is also likely to tweet his 4 million followers and we are hopeful that we can expose our Club to a new audience that might help us grow both locally & globally.
We are also looking forward to having some fun on Game Day with some activities fully funded and supported by Marvel.
The club will continue to look at avenues to grow and sometimes this will mean looking outside the box.
We do understand that not everyone will like the colours but as some of you have mentioned, this is not the first time we have strayed away from our beloved maroon and white for a one off game.
If we look at the season as a whole, including the 9's tournament, it's likely we will play over 30 games this season and 29 of these will be in our traditional maroon and white colours.
We are hoping that this will be accepted as an exciting 'one off' occasion.
Go Manly!
