No. Our colours, along with the Dragons red v and Easts "tri colours" are the most iconic colours in rugby league. The cowboys design is ok now, but the colours are just bland, no market on the planet would choose those colours to advertise a brand.
How am i? Am I not allowed to have an opinion? A club's colours are supposed to identify their team. When you think Souths you think red/green, Dragons its the big red V, Easts its the tri colours, Bulldogs is blue/white, Melbourne is their unique purple, Knights is blue and red, Raiders is their green.
Those teams have done a good job with their colours. A few clubs have not, among those are the Cowboys, Panthers and Warriors. When you think of those teams you have to think hard to even remember what they look like. And when you see them on tv you need to glance at the score in the corner to see who is playing. Those teams have done a poor job choosing and establishing marketable colours as their brand.
I'm not a troll. I just happen to be loud and proud with my opinions. My opinions, whether they are popular or not, are legitimately mine and are not designed just to annoy. Which is what trolls do. If mine do annoy sometimes, that's just a coincedence and not my problem.
The cowboys original colours were navy,white and grey with yellow used as highlights. Such as this jersey (that I still to this day, f**king love to bits)
Now I am the first to admit that over the few years following our original jersey, we've lost our way but this year we finally are heading back in the direction that the club first intended with the jersey design being simpler and color portioning within the jersey.
The colours were picked by the public back in 1993 in a vote, Royal blue is the traditional NQ rep team color such as this,
but the blue is too similar to the doggies blue and to a lesser extent Newtown (well more so in jersey design with the jets, but Newtown aren't competing anymore in the top flight) so whilst the blue is slightly different to our traditional NQ blue, its about as best as we could get without treading on the doggies toes. The grey and white IMO go well combined with it, I always think of cowboys when I see those 3 colours together, probably due to Dallas I suppose, but IMO they 3 go excellent together.
The Townsville Foley shield teams colours have been yellow and blue for as long as I can remember, so the use of yellow comes from there but as you can see above, it was used sparingly in the 1995 design and only as a highlight color (i suppose not to clash too much with the eels) but over the years the yellow slowly became one of the main colours. The new jersey uses minimal yellow again, and none of the merchandise for this year uses any yellow at all.
what colours would you recommend a NQ team wear??? You are quick to criticise the choice the club made, so what would you have done with your extensive knowledge of NQ footballing history??
