they wore an aqua version of that as well.
yeah agreed, was f#$king terrible, though the original aqua design wasn't in the diamond form, it was more like the older style brisbane jersey without the multi white stripes in the middle, with more of a single wavy white line. I will hunt through my old bronco magazines from when I was a kid to see if I can find a picture of it.
from memory the original aqua version was used because those colours at the time were seen as the most "marketable" to kids and teenagers. Me thinks the Charlotte hornets had a lot to do with it at the time, a lot of teenagers were getting around in the early 90's with their merchandise, and they had similar colours (purple, carolina blue, white)
Wait, Newcastle did a photo of their new jerseys featuring Ben Rogers? I thought any club would want to distance themselves from knowing that guy! I know we did.
AT LEAST three clubs are planning to change their jerseys next year.
Cronulla are set to dump their traditional home strip for one with a sky-blue body, white shoulders and black V.
Canberra's away jersey will be predominantly black and charcoal, while Penrith will opt for a teal and white number when they travel in 2010.

You might notice they've stopped wearing it for their home games.
Yeah why is that?
