I know this might be a big ask, but I'd love to be able to get team merch sans sponsor logos.
A good example is the Purple Camo Warm Up Top. Looks great except for the red Woodside tag on the front and big-ass yellow WankBest logo on the back.
Same goes for the team polos, all those embroidered sponsor logos are annoying as hell.
Give us a sponsor free option, please?!
From the article:
>Tabcorp says the financial crimes watchdog has serious concerns about its ability to detect and stop money laundering and is investigating the country’s biggest listed bookmaker over those failings.
The company told investors that Austrac’s probe was focusing on whether it was complying with anti-money laundering rules and properly monitoring its customers, describing the investigation as “at an early stage”.
I am committed to leading a compliant and safe company that understands its risk obligations,” Tabcorp chief executive Gillon McLachlan said. “Uplifting our risk capability has been an ongoing part of the company’s transformation, and we will work constructively with Austrac.”
Tabcorp shares fell to 83¢, down more than 27 per cent, or 32¢, when the market opened on Thursday. That erased the gains made since the start of the year as McLachlan overhauled the company’s operations.
I am convinced the digital strategy for Australian FTA networks is being spearheaded by a man named Bruce who refuses to use a smartphone because "the buttons are too small."
It is 2026. We have rockets landing themselves, yet 7plus and 9Now still haven’t figured out the concept of digital on-demand viewing.
The most infuriating scenario: You get home at 8:00 PM. You want to watch a show that started at 7:30 PM (or 7:36 PM, because apparently "on time" is a foreign concept to 7). In any sane, modern digital ecosystem, you’d hit "Watch from Start."
But no. If you open the app while the show is still airing, you are held hostage by the "Live" feed. You’re forced to see the spoilers of the current segment while desperately trying to find a "restart" button that doesn't exist. You effectively have to wait until the show finishes its entire broadcast slot (plus a weird 15-minute "processing" purgatory) before it shows up as a VOD (Video on Demand) asset.
7 is by far the worst offender. Their UI feels like it was designed by someone who thinks "The Cloud" is a weather forecast.
Do they want us to go back to piracy? They spend millions on "The Voice" or "MAFS" but won't spend $50 on a UX designer who has used Netflix at least once in the last decade.
FTA TV Motto: "You'll watch it when we tell you to watch it, and you'll like it!"
