Wests Tigers Playing Jersey

[Nutz]

What's the general consensus of our playing strip?
I couldn't help feeling annoyed after watching the Tigers play at their spiritual home ground Leichhardt Oval, wearing a predominantly dark black jersey.
I have in the past also felt for the old Magpies supporters when the situation is reversed at Campbelltown.
Since we are a merged club that won't let go of our former identity, how do we overcome these feelings, or am I on my Pat Malone?
I also don't like us not having a Wests Tigers reserve grade side which only serves to strengthen the divide imo.
If we want to go the full hog of merging, then maybe our playing strip should have an equal amount of White, Back, and Gold. Not just playing strip's, but with merchandise too.
Another feeling I got when watching the warm up period against the Titans, where the players were wearing an almost full white tshirt, was how refreshing and good the players looked in them.
When the Broncos were trying to break a losing street recently, they wore a predominantly all black strip. The players seemed to like it and they came out firing and won the game. It's psychological I know but it often works in other codes.
I'm thinking a white strip with some black and gold piping might have a similar effect on our boys....be a lot cooler too heading into the warmer final rds.
But in summary, I'd like to see equal tri- colours at all venues we play at, home or away.

I'd love to see a jersey patterned on an actual tiger. The orange / gold background and white and black stripes in a random type of pattern. We are the tigers and this would look awesome. It would certainly appeal to the kids and help with a future supporter base. Our on field results and general style of play sure isn't helping.

The away strip can be predominately white with black stripes as the pattern. The Siberian tiger.

This brings me into one of my major bug bears with the NRL in general. They allow all teams to change their home jersey every 2 years. This needs to stop. Pick a jersey and that's it. Maybe allow them to change the away jersey. The roosters have pretty much worn the same jersey for 120 years. It's just a very transparent merchandising rip off when it's changed all the time. The warriors have about 6 a year.

It's got to the point when you say play for the jersey, the answer is which one?

I agree with this strongly.
DOM, marketing doesn't give a hoot about traditional jerseys. That sucks.

My point is it's a merged club and magpie supporters have as much right to see their product.....but not at the tigers expense.
I still believe an equal amount of White, black and gold is the only way.
Get rid of all this predominant black stuff. Be fair to both sides.
Once we have the right strip then stick to it for ever!
