Brookie will always be known as Brookie or The Fortress among the fans, regardless of it's 'official' name. I have no problems selling the naming rights if it brings in a decent wad of cash. For me, it doesn't cheapen the club anymore than having a sponsors logo on the jersey. If it came down to either playing out of CoCo Joy stadium, or having a hideous green blob on the front of the jersey, I know which I'd prefer.

But you all remember it and know which one we are taking about...
Yep, spot on!
Crazy John might be interested, 'The Crazy Stadium' has a ring to it.
To be honest, I have always thought that cheapens the club too. I recognise the financial need for jersey sponsorship (or, to describe it more accurately, advertising), but from a personal point of view, I don't like it at at all. Apart from the dubious morality of a club selling its identity like that, aesthetically football jerseys definitely look better without tacky sponsors' logos plastered all over them. I remember the pre-sponsorship era, and much prefer the look of unsponsored jerseys any day...

That would be Crazy John in Heaven Stadium.

Game of Thrones Dome. In memory of recent ownership troubles and the struggle for control of the organisation.
I don't mind sponsorship on jerseys if it is done sympathetically and doesn't detract from the feel of the jersey. Historically we've had some pretty simple sponsors that didn't look too bad - Pioneer, Wormald, P&O, even the white Kaspersky on maroon looked OK in my opinion. We've had some bad ones though, PEPSI, Delmege, Quantam, but the green blob is the worst..
I don't understand why they don't make the effort to try and design the logo into the jersey so that it complements the look. The whole "take corporate logo and plaster on front of jersey" is so lazy and underwhelming. Design these days is so easy in the digital age, but no one wants to make the effort. Its' not just Manly, there are some horror shows from other clubs as well - i think the worst was the Bulldogs Camp Quality one.
