Tbf not many clubs have used Australian unique animals weirdly. One of the reasons I lament the loss of the Reds.
In fact I can only think of the qlnd reds and brumbies?

In the AFL, you've got Kangaroos, and had the Bears (mascot was a koala, despite not being a bear). And probably the Tasmanian Devils coming soon.

SA Redbacks and Tasmanian Tigers (meaning thylacine) in the cricket?

The Qld Reds Union team were not named after a kangaroo, they were named after their first ever jersey was red and black hoops, thus they started calling them 'Reds".
The NSW Rugby Union team is called the Waratahs, which is named after native flora. In fact the word waratah comes directly from the Eora aboriginal word 'warada'
Brumbies are not native to Australia, horses were an introduced species. Brumby is an Australian word for wild horses. The US word for these type of horses is Broncos. Also Cowboy = Stockman etc

SA are not even competing in CAS anymore .... very sad.

A lot of work to do and far behind Perth.

My post was in reference to Perth reds post about Qld Reds and Brumbies being the only ones he could think of being Australian like team names, neither of which really are.
But carry on.

How qld got their name 'Reds', took a second to google it.

Why is Queensland's Super Rugby team called the Reds?

If you want to add wild horses as Australian then you may as well add Sharks, Dolphins, Eels and even Storm. All have been in and around Australia for thousands of years. Wild horses only since European settlement.
Actually if you are adding wild horses then Lions, Tigers, elephants, seals, etc etc are all here since then as well.

What you are saying is the word "brumby" is uniquely Australian, not the animal itself.

It’s a uniquely Australian word for a particular animal, ergo it makes the list.

They literally have a red koala in their logo
sure if a club is using a uniquely Australian name for any of those animals, but they aren’t.

Yes they have a koala there, but it's not their name, Queensland Koalas? No they are the Queensland Reds. And the link I provided from qld union tells how they got that name.

You can argue as much as you want, you are wrong . As you would be with any Australian history with myself.
