This is one of those word-association things. Whenever a certain NRL team is mentioned, what is the first thing that comes to mind for you? It'd be interesting to see how different the imagery is amongst people on here, how people are visually wired. These are mine:
NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS: Whichever Cowboys player that was who did the pistol shooting post-try celebration about 10 years ago. As well as a big, flat, sunny plain.
BRISBANE BRONCOS: That jersey they wore when they won their first two Premierships in 1992-93 (around this time I first became aware of the Broncos), with their current logo superimposed.
GOLD COAST TITANS: Scott Prince playing in Titans gear.
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS: A Knight on horseback with a blue and red flag held aloft. Pretty much identical to that billboard at Broadmeadow Station (it was standing on the platform there in 1992 that I would first have become aware of the Knights, completely unaware of the joy, despair and money they would take from me on a regular basis one day. Gotta love childhood innocence!)
MANLY-WARRINGAH SEA EAGLES: One of those panoramic shots you've probably seen in a dentists' waiting room somewhere- of Manly beach with the line of beechwood pines and the buildings and Ocean World in the background. Strangely no imagery of the football team though.
SYDNEY ROOSTERS: A Rooster with the red, white and blue chevron in the background. Nothing spectacular though.
SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS: A big forward (someone like John O'Neil, John Sattler or Mark Carrol) trudging off the field, bruised and bloodied, head bandaged, wearing the Souths jersey.
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA: 'Choc' Mundine doing that backflip in the red V, and black and white pictures of footy players in action from the old days.
CRONULLA SUTHERLAND SHARKS: Toyota Park as viewed from the TV cameras during a night time game and the old NSWRL Sharks logo. Probably stems from being at a cousins' place in about 1996 and a Sharks night home game was on the telly, I remember the 'Jaws' theme being played. Can't say I remember seeing the old logo but.
CANBERRA RAIDERS: Pretty much like the old NSWRL Raiders flags- their old viking logo on a bright green background with a white, yellow and blue horizontal stripe.
MELBOURNE STORM: Two books...................Just kidding.
WARRIORS: A maori guy in a haka pose while wearing the Warriors logo as a mask.
WESTS TIGERS: A day game at Leichardt Oval with the dust flying. And for some weird reason, that Living End song 'West End Riot' comes to mind except the lead guy is singing "Weeee-eests TIGERS!"
CANTERBURY BANKSTOWN BULLDOGS: Pretty much the same as their current logo- the bulldog on a blue and white background.
PARRAMATTA EELS: Their classic circular logo (which I am lead to believe is coming back next year?) as well as blue and gold flags waving.
PENRITH PANTHERS: Basically their old logo, the circular lotto-coloured one with the leaping panther in the middle.
NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS: Whichever Cowboys player that was who did the pistol shooting post-try celebration about 10 years ago. As well as a big, flat, sunny plain.
