Ok, the reason the brown and white was dropped is because the Panthers had the lowest selling merchandise in the NRL. Research showed people didn't like it. It looked like poo and it sold accordingly. It was nothing to do with not winning. The 91 team was good enough to win wearing pink Tutus and a Fez.

It's good to recognise the past, but it's OK to also say that most people didn't like it.

Brown is still many tiers above the pink shit we wear

That is subjective. Pink sells better than brown is fact. I like the pink jersey but I understand why some don't. It connects with the female fans and that's important.

I love the juxtaposition of the sheer ferocious brutality of league and the feminine colour pink. Leota in a pink jersey is just nuts. It's like Mike Tyson in pink trunks and with his soft voice. They both should come with health warnings. "Beware of the angry man".

Like it or not it's our history. We absolutely need that jersey if we are a serious football club. And I don't think it looks bad at all.

Most fans recognise the 91 version as our spiritual jersey. The year Penrith put itself on the map. IMO still one of the best jerseys an NRL team has produced. I don't see why we can't have both.

I wasn't saying they changed because the team didn't win I was saying the emotion is more attached to the licorice all sorts because they won in it.

It is good for female supporters. All my girls love pink/purple.

It's fine as the heritage jersey since that's what it is. The clubs heritage.

It was also because Penrith is a rubbish team, but hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good whinge.

I disagree strongly about this. We were the first club to embrace the pink. The pink jersey is especially inclusive of the female viewer of the game. Especially the young girls.

I was told some years ago that it was (by far and away) the most popular jersey ever sold.

Also as an alternative it doesn't clash with any other club.

When you add in the Pink Panther slogan. Long may it reign.

I disagree. Penrith for the years prior to 1991 had made the finals. The brand and the team were growing.

The biggest thing holding back this growth was in the sale of merchandise.

Hence the new jersey in 1991.

The brown and white jersey has it's place......in our history. The colour change in 1991 was a master stroke by the merchandise team.

Which kind of team do you support? A has been or a never has been?

Yes but it is so far away from the Black, Red, Green and Yellow that are the clubs colours

Of course female's love the pink, I'd no issue with it If it part of the colour scheme.

It is purely to market and should only be 1 off games or add pink to the colours

I follow the Melbourne Storm.

Thank you for your input.... todoloo now


As for the chocolate the 85 jersey is my favourite by far, and this is to be used sparingly just like roosters use thier Anzac day light blue

 

[panther.mike]

Love the brown and white,
I also love the pink., like a velvet glove.

 

[Black Panther]

I follow the Melbourne Storm.

Enough said.

 

[chrisD]

Current jersey is best jersey, pink is ok but I’d prefer a majority white alternative of the default for our away jersey, like a 9s jersey I have.
