I hope adidas doesn’t pick up anymore NRL clubs.

The Roosters NRLW have worn navy shorts for the last 3(?) seasons so they could also have decided to implement it across the whole club. It certainly helps avoid clashes when the jersey and shorts are the same colour.
I imagine that is correctI suspect the NRLW team did it for the same reason that the Dragons NRLW team wear red shorts, namely so that it avoids showing up any women's menstrual issues.
Christian Bale famously based his character in American Psycho on Tom Cruise, saying he has "very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes"... I've often thought the same of DCEStephen King uses the phrase "shit-eating grin" in many of his novels. If you ever wondered what that was, just look at Cherry-Evans' face . . .
My fear of the stripes being red is they’ll stand out more and people will get to see the stripes grow wider apart when they reach my love handlesThe red collar allows the V to be pushed higher up on the jersey without cluttering, and also allows for a wider white V. Smart move, maybe could have done with some white piping on the collar.
3 stripes down the side are a shame, having them a slightly lighter shade of blue would have made their inclusion more tolerable. Shorts should be white with red/blue/red or blue/red/blue.

This. Fun fact only like a year or two ago Wimbledon changed their white underwear policy for women due to this reason. Kinda f**ked it took that long.I suspect the NRLW team did it for the same reason that the Dragons NRLW team wear red shorts, namely so that it avoids showing up any women's menstrual issues.
You reckon DCE likes Huey Lewis & The News?Christian Bale famously based his character in American Psycho on Tom Cruise, saying he has "very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes"... I've often thought the same of DCE
was literally all over the media 2 years ago. no white shorts in NRLWI imagine that is correct
Yep, and it's just the considerate thing to do. Why put women into a self conscious position by requiring them to wear white shorts every weekend?But yes, I knew someone who worked for the old emu company in NQ (I think it’s called ev2 or something these days) and they were one of the first companies to realize that maybe women don’t need to wear white shorts for sports.
Yeah, 100% correct. I was more wondering if the men's team have adopted the blue shorts to create uniform branding across both teams.I suspect the NRLW team did it for the same reason that the Dragons NRLW team wear red shorts, namely so that it avoids showing up any women's menstrual issues.
Makes me glad the good eggs on ABC radio (and indeed their sports pages on their website) continue to use the original names for most venues (with some exceptions, e.g. they use Shark Park rather than Endeavour Field, its original name)As apt a name as that is for a team called the 'Sharks', I know I'm going to get to next season, hear that stadium name, and have no idea which ground that is unless it's being talked about as Cronulla's home game. These days I struggle to recall what ground Pointsbet Stadium, Go Media Stadium, ect, is.
Dad, up until a couple of years ago when he died, had early-onset Alzheimers, and I genuinely am starting to get concerned about my failing ability to recall stadium names. They change too much for me to keep up!
