Adidas and Munster Rugby are calling on fans to be "all as one" and reveal the new alternative jersey.


We need 1,879 fans to help reveal the jersey by clicking through to our reveal app on the Munster Rugby Supporters Club official facebook page. The more fans that help reveal, the quicker the target figure is reached and the jersey will be exclusively unveiled by the fans before the official reveal date of July 27th.
Great spot prizes can be won by anyone who helps with the reveal, including the new jersey, training kit and match tickets.
Visit the facebook app. here.
From the reveal date fans will be able to pre-order the new jersey and training kit in Munster Rugby stores and online before it arrives on August 9th.

My sentiments exactly. It's all the nonsense that is turning me off pro rugby.

Jesus wept.

Cant wait to see a new kit supplier installed, preferably one thats biggest interest is making rugby jerseys, not all the other morketing bolloxology thats cropping up lately.

Make the gear, leave it at that for **** sake.

With the few pixels visible on that app I've already decided to pass on this one. Looks like Munster is getting its own wacky design jersey, with Ogham inscriptions.

[Speedee]

About 10% is uncovered. So far I can see dark grey, some yellow swirly things, and a little bit of red.

[Huwie]

I'll just wait for it.
Someone down the pub told me its like the Old Stade Francais warhol one, just with the face of Willie O'Dea not yer wan.

The swirly things are Ogham.

Can someone screengrab it?

Off to a weeding so I'm on the phone and I cant be bothered dl'ing an app on the fly

[thepunter]

this is pathetic. You have the probably the biggest and best followed rugby team anyway, and they're trying to increase marketing revenues and the bottom line through rubbish like this. It's an insult actually. You pay the ticket prices, by the jerseys every year, and then they treat your intelligence with complete contempt - that we don't understand apps, and the fact that they get access to all of your biographical info for purely marketing purposes.

Why didnt they just say 'check out our facebook page if you want to see the new Jersey' and like us for prize draws and more news' ?

Sounds exciting.

Ah I bet once it's fully revealed, you will like it. It's not wacky at all.. Very plain actually.

[Cowboy]

Sounds exciting.

I dont think this will get as messy though, well, hopefully not.

Expect the mandatory Architecture thread hijack later!

Wrong.

Just stick up the picture you showed me earlier today.

Nothing to see just yet, still too many pixels to reveal, I wish I'd waited til later!

DT who are you and how have you seen the jersey already? You don't have to answer the first part!

Just be assured that if it happens in Munster Rugby, DT knows about it. A great servant to the club.

Because that doesn't score high enough on the "marketing wank" scale that is used to measure such initiatives. What perturbs me is the notion that someone, somewhere, thought that this approach would encourage us all to forward the link to our friends, feverish with anticipation for a glance at whatever piece of screen printed polyester they're foisting on us this year.

No chance. Drick would not make Lahinch then, he'd be setting up base camp at a sportstore..

I am Chesney Hawkes. How have I seen it.. friends in low places. I am guessing that the image behind the pixels is jumbled and as the last few are removed, it starts to come together.. Marketing types eh..

[Dumptruck]

This is really me though... outside adidas HQ...recently.

[glossy]

Nothing to see. If you dig through the source code you can get a link for the pic. The current one that is being revealed has been blurred. From what i can see it looks good

[Huwie]

you do know that they are going to go around the edges first and show the most important bit last.
thats why I'm not bothering my hole. They tried this with the Welsh jersey before the World Cup - It was red.... woop!

From my experience of "morketing" types they actually do think like this. They also think that Munster fans sit at home becoming all misty-eyed over the laundry basket when they spot "wear with Pride and Honesty" on the fu*cking collar of the jersey. It's how they stay employed. They convince the marks in the boardroom that Jim Punter likes this garbage because if people realized that all you need to sell a rugby jersey in Munster or anywhere else is "HERE IS THE NEW JERSEY. BUY IT NOW. LOOK HERE'S YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER WEARING IT" they'd have to go back to convincing teens that Lynx Africa makes the girls, like, so horny for you.
