Because we actually have heritage?

If that was a NRL team heritage, would we not all be saying things like "the stripe should have been above the emblem" or"they have used the wrong shade of yellow"? I just think we are harsher on our own designs and have low expectations on the English designs.

If St George are paying the bills, they’ll be called St George Illawarra!

How are St George paying the bills? We owe the NRL something like $4 million. If anything, the NRL is paying the bills.

Im fairly sure it was a reference to the local church, wasnt it?

In the same way a lot of american colleges are old churches, the St George came from a similar institution. Same happened with the Brothers in Qld i believe.

Remove the religious stuff and a church (particularly one in the 1920s) isnt that different to a Leagues Club; community meeting place where locals go for a bit of entertainment. Its not surprising sports teams would come out of these institutions. Actually, if you cared enough to trace it back, id guess most Leagues clubs began as branches of local churches.

And i would assume most of the older football teams were referencing the Leagues Club that founded them. It was the LC that was names after the location, but obviously sometimes their name is a referenc to something else....

Close. St George is the Parish of the area (ie. all the local Anglican churches report to the head of the Parish). Unlike most, the St George name stuck to represent the area, possibly due to the fact there wasn’t a major hub in the area like Parramatta, Manly, North Sydney, etc.

Also, at one point in history, the Illawarra region was considered to be everything south of the Cook’s River.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

And you would assume wrong.

Leagues clubs were built for the main purpose to support the football club, with the secondary purpose to service the local community.

St George LC was founded in 1952 (current site 1963)
Tigers LC 1957
Wests LC Ashfield 1955
Canterbury LC 1957
Souths Juniors 1957
Norths LC 1955
Easts LC 1957
Parra LC 1956

Ehh, just a guess...

It happened that way in the US, i figured it must have happened here at least a few times. It happened that way with the Brothers in Qld and with a few local clubs in my old junior comp, so it made sense for StGeorge to be something similar.

Cant be f*cked looking for the info, but i reckon the history of the RL teams before they joined would be really interesting. I still reckon most to the founding teams who jumped form Union could trace their existence back to a church or a college somewhere...

Which is what makes the stupid cock head on their jerseys even more stupid.

That Rooster could be iconic on all the gear.

As a kid that was the Roosters logo and the silver sticker for the sticker books.

Such a strong brand. I know chooks fans on here have designed stuff incorporating it. Make it so Uncle Nick.
