Now that the dust has settled on the new NRL logo, what they did wasn't that drastic after all. Basically the jersey logo is white! The background colour is not part of the logo. So the different background colour options were put in place just to ensure the white logo stood out. Why didn't the NRL just put on a black background on the logo for every jersey and be done with it. It wouldn't have looked much different to what we have now (and saved us hundreds of posts on this thread!) plus it would have given the new logo a lot more exposure (and class)

Clubs were not given the option to tamper with the colour of the logo itself (unlike the A-League logo). The new NRL logo seems to
only exist in black or white and even then the black wasn't permitted on jerseys.
