Any “it’s good money for the club” comments can get in the bin.

So replacing the letters NB with IG makes what difference exactly?

I think i can cope

Worse than this years indigenous guernsey?

Forget the 2023 premiership now this has happened.

Every club allowing their main sponsors to change the background colour of their logo is a far worse step than the 3rd logo changing from apparel to any other company.

Just waiting for Mach5 to call for Pert's head over this...

I don’t want to upset anyone but I felt that our Indigenous jumper was competing against itself, I loved our previous jumper. I liked the NB but not opposed to IG Marketing is a strange creature.!!

The New Balance logo at least meant something before as they make the guernsey but this is cheap and nasty.

Given this is the Trade section, have we swapped guernseys with Hawthorn for a 2nd rd pick?

IG is apparently "Australia’s number one trading platform" so kinda makes sense...

So we boycott them if we don't get a fair deal for Jackson.

If you ask @Rab D Nesbitt, it stands for Indigenous Guernsey.  

[daisycutter 29,604]

oh, i thought it was a supermarket

[58er 6,388]

So a fashion guru named "Biskit" is the sole judge and jury on our new sponsorship partner IG ( who prob has paid 1/2 mill or maybe even a $mill for the privilege) for their logo in the prime position in 2023. 

Let's  be honest it's small and is not any different really to the previous prime logo  sponsor NB ( New Balance).  It doesn't take over the jumper and is much more subtle than the Hertz yellow background.

Any one claiming it ruins the jumper or is out of line just wants to create  a big hoo ha has  not much else to grumble about. 

Our jumper looks good because of its red and blue heritage and our design and the more sponsorship we can gain far outweighs any pitiful grandstanding.

What's the issue? Too many sponsors on the guernsey? 

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,291]

The IG looks fine, as it is no different to NB. Any other sponsor, and if it were a different colour, I’d be up in arms. I would like to see the whole jumper though. I do hope NB haven’t got a new placement for their branding.

oh c'mon, they got branding all over the place. they're a big multi-national.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,685]

I think you might find the NB logo will be replaced with new balance on the back neck of the Guernsey, similar to this years media jacket.

Why would I do that? What a stupid suggestion.

I don’t really understand your reply. What is a multi-national? NB, IG?
