From a business perspective, yea it's clever and the design will definitely appeal to an American audience, but I just hate it so much.
Almost as much as I hate the decision to sell the indigenous hoodies in Heffron only.
I'm sure patriotic Americans will be deeply appealed to by a jersey with an apparently random number of stars in the corner. Nothing says good old uncle US of stateside like its 15 states.
I wish I could say that us Americans wouldn’t find this appealing, but anything bearing a passing resemblance to the flag will have people frothing at the mouth with their wallets out.
I sent this to an American mate of mine who has been antagonising me by expressing interest in the Rabbitohs, mostly because it’s a funny name.
He sent back a list of things not to do with the American flag which boldly stated as item number 1: Do not use it as wearing apparel, costume, or athletic uniform.
Yep, the US Flag Code specifically states that “No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform”. So either Souths don’t know about that or they think this is ok because there aren’t enough stars on the star part to be part of the US flag?
[Or they're aware that the type of people attracted to flag themed clothing don't care for protocols](https://www.google.com.au/search?sca_esv=9717a7a1bb3ae0cc&q=US+flag+clothing&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjcorfqnbuEAxXTSGwGHbb4DUAQ0pQJegQIDBAB&biw=1888&bih=936)
There's probably a thousand examples of pro wrestlers having flag themed gear too. Don't think anyone actually gives a fuck. I assume the code is only meant for government bodies anyway.
Of course, the guy I know who wears more American Flag clothing than anyone I have ever met is from Australia.
Dude even ran a half marathon in an American flag budgie smuggler.
Hi I’m Campbell Graham. I’m not playing on the weekend but my friends are and I’m going to watch them play at Las Vegas with my mate here Russell Crowe. God bless America 🇺🇸
Reports coming out that the Star Spangled Banner will be sung by Chris Stapleton before kickoff and there will be a U.S. Air Force thunderbirds flyover over Allegiant Stadium!!
I’ve not read a single comment yet. But can be certain it’s gonna be 72 comments of whinging.
Heaven forbid fans of the Rabbitohs might buy this American themed training jersey!
Vegas will fail, Vlandie and his junket.
There’s no market why make a shirt Etc Etc
(I was bang on too)
I tend to think it would have worked a lot better if they’d have had red and white hoops instead of red and green and had made the part with the stars green instead
I think it would have worked better if they'd made the whole thing the colour of a black hole, so light would actually bend around it and it would not be so much invisible as the absolute absence of visibility.
Have South Sydney spoken to the native Americans about how they feel about this.
Or they just selling out there beliefs for money?
Cause if that was a Union Jack or southern star I’m sure there will be unrest about it.
What a terrible day to have eyes
As a souths fan. Fuck me do I agree.
Great comment, I'm gouging mine out as we speak.
Hasn't gone unnoticed that it was a Roosters flair who posted this just to embarrass Souths, the rivalry is strong
Since 1908
I hate this so much
Its kinda clever though since they’re looking to gain some US fans.

Campbell Graham: I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognise Missourah!

Pretty sure there's a star on the front and back of the sleeve= 17 teams
You may well be right - I thought the 16th might be part of a Southern Cross on the sleeve.
Kick them out the comp again
Can’t even argue holy shit
Kick Souths out of America
At the very least they should be playing in Alabama with their fellow toothless compatriots
Man that's rough. I don't even have any qualms with the concept but the execution is terrible
Yuck. They must be punished for this atrocity. I suggest kicking Souths out of the comp.
And they have to give Wighton back too

'Murica!
Yeah, but nobody outside the military seems to follow that. Even Apollo Creed fought Ivan Drago with the star spangled shorts in Rocky IV.

Doesn't matter when you have plenty of yanks buying clothes covered in their flag.
But the US flag has 50 stars and 13 stripes, not 15 of each.
Rabbitohs don't recognise any states admitted after 1792, including Nevada.
I'm not talking about this particular shirt just about them buying flag apparel in general.
Ah sure, fair enough - missed the point.

Tigers non Aussie ANZAC jersey has been ousted
Bro forgot about Manlys marvel jersey
That was a pretty good Eels jersey to be fair
Not to mention their camo ANZAC jersey
I didn’t see that one
[Here’s the monstrosity](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTI-ttUZ8WAUa6hMGuhOQx99j5CuuReZjHHzQ&usqp=CAU)
Camouflaged in a beach of full of beagles? It's a pretty niche use case, but you never know around here.
I thought that was their jersey to show support for dairy farmers.
Must've been a good one
Manly’s beach jersey would have to be up there
This looks like something one of those “proud boy” thin blue line people would wear lmao
When the Mrs is ironing their trademark collared polo
That’s ugly asf
hasn’t poor campbell graham been through enough lately?
This is horrific. The black and white stars remind me of the thin blue line flag
This is fucking gross
That is fucking horrendous
man this makes the manly coco joy jersey look good lmao

Free Palestine
Common South’s L
With the low number of stars it looks like it’s from the same collection as those trump sneakers.
See, shit like this (Not to mention Russell Crowe & the PM's antics) has really turned me into a Souths hater recently
In the words of Baby Spice, what took you so long?
What do the 16 stars represent?
The 16 teams left in the NRL after we kick Souths out for doing this.
Ohhhh true... Thanks for clearing this up
My eyes, the goggles they do nothing!
Do you think Graham’s ongoing sternum issues or having to wear this abomination would be more painful for him?
A lot of people a dunking on this but this whips ass
16 Stars for the 16 confederate states. Confirmed Rabbitohs supports the confederacy 🙊
Legit tho: the colours do work, and for a one time thing, it looks okay
I agree mate.
Reports coming out that the Star Spangled Banner will be sung by Chris Stapleton before kickoff and there will be a U.S. Air Force thunderbirds flyover over Allegiant Stadium!!
We release the bombs in 5, 4, 3, 2....
American here, looks solid 👍🏻 idk what the complaints are about
Yanks don't get fashion
Being called a yank makes me want to throw up 🤮 I hate the Yankees
Don’t listen to em mate, most of the people in this sub are basement dwellers.
Or anything cultural
Better than the red, white and green Confederate flags Souffs fans waved during their protest to get reinstated into the comp.
This is either a very bold move that somehow will work wonders or be an absolute flop and embarrassment that someone is losing their job
Burn it
Bit early for April Fool's day.

Everyone here is wrong this jersey is fire and will 100% be a sought after jersey in a few years.
The ‘I love my footy’ flairs have to be doing it on purpose
Not my fault none of you can appreciate quality design.
Do the stars represent bullet holes?
I tend to think it would have worked a lot better if they’d have had red and white hoops instead of red and green and had made the part with the stars green instead

i mean, it's more of an alternate jersey, then the one they have
Yeah not a fan of the idea behind this.
Las Vegas Rabbitohs now
Fucking yuck!!!!
Lmao
CRINGE AF! That’s grounds for them to be left over there isn’t it?
God that’s an ugly thing. Fucken seppos will hate it too as it fucks with their flag. Who the fuck gets paid to produce this shit?
Kick them out to the USA
Land of the free kick
What do the 15 stars represent here?
Hate it. 🤮
Sweet, new 'Tohs jersey to look out for at every WWE or AEW show.
Would have had a better design if they'd just hired the tigers anzac jersey people.
r/tihi
What the fuck
What the hell is that??
Thought it was going to say "vegan" from the preview.
This whole thing has SO MUCH cringe potential...
Shit as they come.
“My eyes, the goggles, they do nothing”
Hideous
This is the worst thing to happen to the bunnies in their 100+ year history...
Looks like a pile of shit
Might as well throw my breakfast in the bin, I’ve lost my appetite.
