There's something about the Puma's jersey I like - not sure what it is yet. Replace the Blue with Maroon and bang it'd look good. Make a great 9's Jersey [hr] Combine this with a Aborigine, Bati, Cook Is, Maori, Samoa design and the old double hoops it'll look brillant.
Nah,Manly need to get the double hoops of victory back ASAP :idea: We have never won a Premiership with the chevron style
Also want to see Manly as the first team in the NRL that does a St Patrick's day jersey Deep Green with either the double hoops or the chevron. A big chunk of the world claim to have an Irish descendent so hopefully a lot will buy it. I know Manly have done a Green jersey in the past but it'll look good. The 2nd biggest league in the world does it the NBA. [hr] Just out of interest what did we wear in the 1946 junior grand final that helped get us in?
1946 MWJRL jersey was all maroon with a white collar. I cant add the Warringah Council Library Photo from this mobile version, but google it and the premiership photo is there. Done: http://www.photosau.com.au/warringah/scripts/ExtSearch.asp?SearchTerm=WAR47592 Also some great historic pictures: http://trove.nla.gov.au/picture/result?q=manly+warringah+rugby++league&l-australian=y For marketing purposes,the Sea Eagle was added to the original first grade jersey in 1947. This person has a great collection of the past jersey images: http://www.ebay.com.au/gds/Manly-Warringah-Sea-Eagles-Jersey-Guide-V-1-1947-1967-/10000000000124419/g.html To me the definitive Manly Jersey is the 1972 - maybe because of the inaugural win, but I think the design is balanced and looks styled even 40 years later The bastardised chevron looks 'thrown together' in design to me :-/ It appears to be a canvas for the Sponsors Logos, more so than a representation of the MWDRLFC
I'm with Happily Manly, we should make the double hoops ours, the same way the Dragons have the Red V as theirs. Smaller sponsorship on the front, like AFL do, & a bigger SeaEagles emblem.
I would be happy with this mid 1970s jersey and badge. The badge is flat cut like Souths rabbitoh. http://www.manlyleagues.com.au/cms-club-history/quoting-sea-eagles.phps[/quote]
Actually I love the plain white that the ball boy has - why that can't be used as alternate jersey is beyond me
Or how about Cranky Franky Stanton's outfit? Maybe that could inspire a jersey for special occasions like when we play in China?
No chevron till the 1947 inaugural first grade squad. I updated my previous post on this thread with links to the photo archives. One has a 'Mad Monday' photo from the forties
Probably too plain for decent retail sales would be my guess. I'm with you though! I wouldn't mind this late 1960s Manly as a home jersey, but once a sponsor goes on it that would probably ruin it. Great badge though! http://www.footycards.com.au/1968a-nrl-scanlens-rugby-league-series-02-billy-bradstreet-manly-warringah.html
The Queensland SOO team stole the Manly jersey and simply added a few XXXXs because they couldn't spell Queensland.
Agree, Brissie kid, sponsorship would ruin it. I wish they would tone down the sponsors name & give the jersey some integrity again. They look like Billboard$.
