Souths can wear a mostly red jersey if they chose to. Likewise Newcastle.
As has been said: most teams have an opportunity to have an alternate ('away') jersey that still utilises their core colours that doesn't have to be a mostly white kit.

Add gold to every team,.... much better than white

Nah add blue. Blue is a massively under-utilised colour in the current NRL.

Sure, in many cases, it doesn't *necessarily* have to be a white kit - and with teams like the Eels (gold alternate), Storm (yellow alternate) or Cowboys (Grey OR yellow alternate) it can be done easily within existing team colours without having to resort to mainly-white.

However, for some clubs both main colours have issues where an alternate using "the other colour" is problematic - for instance Souths wearing a mainly red kit against the Raiders doesn't do any good for those with red-green colour-blindness - and it's better for Souths or the Raiders (whichever is away) to switch to a black or white alternate.

100%. There are instances / clashes that can only be properly avoided by utilising a different colour (white, black, ect).

Most can be avoided simply by using their existing colours though.

There's a good reason for Storm to not wear yellow. This is it . . .



Hideous looking thing.

White as an alternative works for some teams, such as Manly. Canterbury but the other clubs should be using a non-white as an alternative. NRL needs to enforce clubs using their colours, properly

Canberra Raiders one too works, but Canterbury is a blue away, white home

I’ve always loved that jersey. Gorgeous.

"Why don't teams wear their main colours all the time?!?!"

Nek minit


"Souths don't clash with anyone but they should have a completely contrasting jersey for away games!!!!"

Souths do clash with another team though

People who hold that clubs' branding is sacred and unchangeable are mouth breathers who should be ignored. There's no such thing as the 'perfect' brand, jersey, logo, colour scheme, etc, and innovation and experimentation through trial and error is the only way of improving on them.

You never know when you'll come up with something popular, or even better, and you can always change it back if it doesn't work out. You're also robbing generations of fans from building the looks and designs of their generation to look back on with nostalgia like you do your favourite designs from your childhood, and robbing the club from building a strong back catalogue to reissue and make heritage/retro merch out of.

I'd just like to congratulate NSW for not having an alternate jersey for the annual neutral Origin game this year. Qld should always be mostly maroon and NSW should always be mostly sky blue. That's it. It was so nice to see them in a sky blue jersey in Melbourne tonight.

This is a very nice match to watch with Cronulla wearing their alternate and Caterbury in their home
