To be fair, initially I was disappointed that they went for two-blue & gold after ditching the "Gold Coast Dolphins" brand - I thought they should have kept the orange, turquoise & white from that Dolphins brand..
Agreed. Even the worst of the Titans jumpers across the last decade would have been an iconic masterpiece is it had been done in the Dolphines Teal-Orange
and was further dismayed as gold became less and less of a feature.. getting closer and closer to Cronulla territory with the blue.
Worse, it was heading towards a NSW Blues look, which is the opposite of what a proud QLD team should be aiming for
But like you, I'm really pleased to see gold feature more prominently in their jersey now.. not a lot of other NRL teams use that colour, and it's there in the name too!
Yep, the shade of blue that they pick doesnt matter much (I personally love the Dark>Light Top>Bottom gradient as it gives it a top heavy, "strong shoulders" look, but it doesnt really matter). The perfect use of the Titans colours is with the blue as a frame/background and the Gold as the Centrepiece.
Now all they need to do is pick a single shade of Gold (distinct from the Parra jumper) and never ever change it. I like the dark, orangey colour they have picked here. Very distinct!
