It would be great if Newcastle could adopt such a design permanently, even if they just reversed it for their alternative it would make a good design that was distinctly Newcastle.
Just on jerseys, it's encouraging how many clubs are now leaning towards a constant design.
Roosters main is always the same, Cronulla have gone back to a well known design, Souths home and away is much the same, Dragons home has been the same since the 40's, Melbourne's home has stayed the same for the past 5 years, Broncos have kept the same for the past 6 years, Bulldogs since 97, Raiders have gone back to an original design for home and even their away is back to 82 style, its good to see.
Hopefully other clubs like Newcastle, Parramatta and so on which have a bit of history see the value in keeping a consistent design for a long period of time.
