A bunch of official merchandise is scheduled to drop around April. Shirts, hats, jumpers, scarfs, footy’s etc. Much of it is in-line with New Balance.

Some of the bigger retailers have started putting in their orders. We should see online pre-sale access to general public for these items soon.

Best to keep checking the official Perth Bears site for when it’s updated.

I like that 'home' jersey for them this year. Would like to see Perth tweak it with jus' a lil' yellow to make it seem a lil' more WA-centric rather than NS-centric. Not so sure about the 'alternate' tho, but maybe that's jus' me.

It’s been said many times that there’s not gonna be yellow. Best case is that the sponsor might have yellow on it

Yeah I know what they said about having no yellow in their jersey, was jus' stating how good that jersey would look if they made a few of those thin lines red & some of them yellow. A boy is allowed to have dreams after all rite? I jus' think it would be a nice touch & a nod to WA Rugby League when they were las' in the 'big leagues'. Anyways...if this becomes the Perth jersey, I'm cool with it

In the opposite: Of those two, I much prefer the simple mostly red jersey with a touch of black.

But I agree on the gold. I know its not happening, but I'd have loved to have had it included in the club's colour scheme.

1) It’s been confirmed multiple times publicly that the Perth Bears colours are red and black. The design of the first jersey has also been confirmed.

2) There is no expectation on other sporting clubs named Perth to have “jus’ a lil’ yellow”. Such as Perth Glory, Perth Wildcats (red& black), Perth Heat (red and black), Perth FC (red and black) and Perth Scorchers. In fact Scorchers were demanded to stay away from their states colours.

3) I don’t believe there should be an expectation for clubs to include a little bit of their states colours on their jerseys.

4) I’m sure a special jersey will be released that has WA gold on it but it won’t be the home or away jersey.

5) The Dolphin factor. This is arguably one of the bigger hurdles against gold that doesn't get talked about enough. The Dolphins have already staked a claim on the mix of red, gold, black, and white. You can't have the two most recent expansion clubs enter the league with nearly identical palettes, with the only real difference being a specific shade of gold.

The Dolphins at least seem to be easing off the black a bit more this season, which helps, but as it stands the colours the Bears are returning to the NRL with are 100% recognised as the Bears. Add gold and it becomes 75% Bears, 100% Dolphins.

That ns away jersey is very nice. Slap the yellow cash convertors logo on it and yellow numbers and it’d be perfect for Perth!

It's called an opinion. Sorry for having one...🤐

The big difference is those other clubs are not relocated Sydney brands trying to carve out a WA identity. they began as wa brands and have been adopted as such by the good people of wa. Therefore the colours mattered much less. If it looks like ns and smells like ns then hows wa to feel about this club? (and not just the rl diehards, we’ll follow it regardless).

imo in regards making this feel like a new wa club, so far the club has done well with the name, done just ok with the logo, next test is the jersey. I sense they’ll get away with it by using a yellow cash convertors logo.

done just ok with the logo? the logo is universally loved by everyone except for you it seems. who could have predicted that... lol.

the club was ALWAYS going to use the bears brand colours. not sure how many times you've missed this memo.
