Thanks for agreeing, but I disagree with what you've said!!!
I don't see why you would need to do that.
Look at premier league, English super league, A-league, the New Zealand warriors/penrith/Brisbane (pre-yellow away jersey)
Plenty of clubs have a completely different set of jerseys.
Considering only the main and 'clash' jerseys, in all of Australian sport, Panthers are the only team i can think of that does this; and, to be fair, this is probably a transitioning year brand-wise for them...
Without some kind of link between the jerseys and the core brand, the clubs image just becomes stilted.
You hear all the time about people that flick on the tv am dont recognise the teams because of of the weird jerseys theyre in; if the knights are to use this 'miners' jersey as their alternate, they with have to claim the 'hi-vis orange' as a club colour (even if its just a minor one, as yellow was during the Henny Penny days)
Making the numbers this colour is the fastest way, but, if your deadset on keeping the jerseys as they are, it would require adding the 'hi-vi orange' to the logo; "Knights" written in the orange and the logo put agains a solid blue shield.
Edit: so basically this...
(but in the hi-vis orange, and not done on Paint...)
I don't see why you would need to do that.

It looked great. Just adopt it "as is"
More than anything else in this world, i hate conservatives...
The idea that "we COULD f*ck something up if we tried to change it, so we should just be happy with the way it is now" is a terrible way to look at anything...
