Whilst the shirt designs aren't great, look at the blo0dy sponsors.
Is it really necessary to have; A main sponsor (which looks awful anyway) Chest sponsor 2 x collar sponsors Kit Manufacturer on chest Back of collar sponsor Top of back sponsor Bottom of back sponsor 2 x shoulder sponsors 2 x SL sleeve logos Front of shorts sponsor Back of shorts sponsor Kit manufacturer on shorts Socks have probably got a load of crap on too.
Compare it to an England shirt. Looks so much more classier:
Before some bright spark pops on and goes "clubs need the sponsorship blah blah", I know. I understand the concept of advertising. It just looks terrible.
Whilst the NRL shirts have less going on, look at the state of this thing glued onto the Manly shirts :

Yes it is, I don't think any RL can afford to turn money down just to improve the aesthetics of their shirt.
Yeh, those corporate powerhouses like St Helens College, Totally Wicked & A-Star Recruitment with their huge marketing budgets, throwing silly money at Saints they can't afford to turn down.
Of course, the clubs could always offer exclusive kit sponsorship as we see in football, our national team, RU etc, using that exclusivity to drive for a higher main sponsorship price, and more than cover the paltry amounts they receive to sponsor the collar, shorts and what not.

The Saints home kit 'V' will look like it's 3D and coming out of the shirt when you get the average rugby league replica kit wearer - giant belly n'all - walking down the street in one.
People will be ducking out of the way thinking a big red v is coming at them.
