[The Great Dane]

I think its an absolute disgrace that for nearly half of their games, the "green machine" will look more like the cowboys rather than Canberra.

Doubt it, last year we only wore our away jersey once or twice.

I'm not a fan of that jersey, but I guess they are trying to embrace the fact that blue and gold are the ACT's official colours.

There is no ACT blue, nor gold on it...

When rl tragics on LU have problems figuring out whose playing, then the nrl has major branding issues.

Canberra are lime green. No one else is. There is no clash with anyone. FMD.

Pretty sure the yellow "banana split" jersey wasn't worn at all last year.

My biggest gripe with the jersey that Canberra wore on Saturday was that it clashed more with the Titans jersey than the lime green would have. Still didn't mind it as a jersey, just doesn't look like Canberra.

I like the idea of using dark blue/lime but the balance was out. Way too much grey.

I actually like it as a jersey and think they've (ISC & club) have gone for the look of wanting somethin that looks good to wear to the pub or out in general. The Lime Green is very in your face as a piece of casual wear.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

The jersey they wore against us would be way better as an away jumper.

Current thoughts about ISC as a jersey maker is that they nail traditional designs (ie designs they don't have to come up with), but when they make original designs such as Cowboys, Raiders away, Broncos away, Dragons away etc etc - they're a bit off the mark.

Exactly!...Great point!

Who are the geniuses designing jerseys who think grey is a great colour for any jersey?

 

[GAZF]

Dark and light greys can work but that middle of the road grey pretty much muddies any colour put with it.

They cowboys away is fine, but now the broncos are wearing a dull grey as their away too. Looks shite

 

[gzerounian]

Knights have used grey successfully in the past

Eels players Brad Takairangi, left, Tim Mannah and Corey Norman in the special 70th anniversary commemorative jersey.

Think the Eels are wearing this V Tigers.

That looks cheap and nasty.

There literally nothing doing other than "PARRA 1947". Its basically a plain blue t-shirt. Surely sponsor incorporation doesn't factor in if you're your own major. Having said that without the massive "PARRA" you wouldn't know they're Parra, I'd guess Titans first if I couldn't see the logo.

Its meant to be a replica of their inaugural jersey.

Then why wouldn't they use a darker blue.??
I don't understand why clubs muck around with the shades of their main colour.
Parra aren't sky blue. Cronulla did it through the years with the blue. Only in the last few years we have stuck mostly to the most recognised design with the correct colours.

 

[beave]

The blue on that parra jersey might be darker under a more normal lighting situation, photo shoots with all the lighting shit they use and possible a flash is probably tainting it a bit.
