Thoughts?

I've seen a lot of negative reactions on Twitter - I must be the only one who likes it. Yes, it's different - but it's simple. Plenty of navy, plenty of purple and no lines, stripes or piping cluttering things. This jersey relies on the strength of our colours and I think our colours alone make for a solid jersey.

Surprised to see a new one for 2015, actually - we've only had the current one for two years.

Sorry guys... I hate it :(

Looks like a t-shirt. A plain t-shirt. It also looks like they tried to make the Crown logo as big as possible.

Hate it. I agree with yourhero.

Looks more like something Manly would wear, and that's never a good thing. Personally, I like the Victorian V represented with the bolts, similar to our '06/'09 jerseys.

After resisting adding another sponsor below the collar for a few years it looks like we'll finally be joining the rest of the league by moving the BLK logo to the shoulders in order to make room. I guess it was only a matter of time. Looking at it again just now, I noticed that BLK have added #beyondlimitsknown under their logo.

And yeah, the Crown Resorts logo is too big. It's like we're trying to out-huge the Cowboys and their Toyota logo - or the Raiders and their Huawei logo. I'm betting the away version will swap out the navy body for white with the rest being the same. Expect a large navy box behind the Crown Resorts logo.

needs the lightning bolt v, that is a direct Victorian reference and it is our heritage!

It will take a bit of getting used to not running around in lightning bolts, but I dont mind the jersey. Maybe it is too simple but I think that is much better than it being cluttered.

Only thing I'm not really a fan of is the fact that we have now changed our jersey twice to fit in with Crown. They should not have this much power over our brand after only being with us for 3 or 4 years.

I like it a lot. It looks much better than last years. Looks cleaner and gives an appearance of more purple.

It's money I'll save next year by not buying one. Does nothing for me at all.
