How can you have pride in your team colours if they wear different ones half the time.

Because they understand that the whole point of having a secondary strip at all was to have one that contrasted with their first strip. That way if any teams strips clashed one of them could just swap to their secondary strip and the teams would contrast again.

If you have a secondary stripe that has the same colour palette as your first stripe then it's way more likely that you are still going to run into colour clashes, but if you have two colour palettes that are on the opposite sides of the colour spectrum it becomes way less likely that you'll run into clashes.

There are different ways of doing it, for example, instead of wildly different coloured strips, in American sports teams normally have one strip that is in the teams colours and one that is majority white, but it's all the same principle .

It's the most practical way of doing things, and that is why pretty much every competition the world over does it that way. Frankly, the NRL would save it's self a lot of trouble if they followed suit and forced the clubs to have at least one strip that totally contrasts with their main strip.

I understand that the point of the away jerseys is to provide contrast between teams, but that can be achieved by having a predominantly light strip and a predominantly dark strip.

I assumed that English clubs - like some Aussie clubs - used the traditional colours of the city or region that they represent. Red and white aren't just the colours of the Dragons and Steelers, they are the traditional colours of the St George and Illawarra regions. Illawarra representative teams in most sports wear red and white. The Wollongong Wolves and Illawarra Hawks are traditionally red and white. Beach lifeguards in Wollongong wear white shirts with red writing. Our official floral symbol is the red-leafed Illawarra Flame Tree. Our colours don't just mean something to us because of the team. They are linked to our sense of regional patriotism. Wearing red and white is part of how the Dragons represent the people of the Illawarra and St George regions. This use of official colours to represent the local area is the same as using green and gold to represent Australia or sky-blue to represent New South Wales. They inspire patriotic loyalty and pride in the same way. If the Dragons were to start wearing a set of completely different colours as an away strip they would be turning their backs on the regions they represent. Imagine the reaction if the Kangaroos came out with a purple alternate strip or if the Blues created a yellow one.

Since the use of colours stem from the days of Heraldry, I would expect English clubs to have even stronger ties to their traditional colours and not to just replace them for completely different ones on their away uniforms.

Red, Silver, Gold and White
A little bit derivative of the broncos colors but not by much, trying to get that simalarity with the cowboys colors but replacing the navy with red, but still keeping with the Red, Silver as their main colors, while gold and white as the trim or secondary, the golden sun representing the sunshine coast, obviously playing bulk of their games at Suncorp stadium, but a handfull of games and trials in Redcliffe and Sunshine Coast stadiums

Nice. Although is there any point in identifying as “North” Brisbane. Even if geographically that was where the club was based, surely a more inclusive “Brisbane Dolphins” has wider appeal. Do people identify as being from North Brisbane, in the same way people may identify as being from Western Sydney?

Well the other option for the another bid were western corridor, were it be some miracle that both were included to make 18 team comp, "north" just replaces redcliffe, but broadens the area to include moreton bay, sunshine coast, didn't want to pigeon hole it to be just Brisbane, and have western corridor be represented when they have their own bid,
Plus Western Sydney wanderers is based in parramatta, and only has Sydney FC to differentiate from, same as GWS and Syd Swans, the Equivalent for Brisbane Broncos, should be something else,
Port Adelaide and Adelaide Crows,
West Coast and Fremantle
They could have all had the same locales regarding their names like West Coast Dockers, Adelaide Power, Sydney Giants, but they didn't so they could focus on whats their area could be, im fairly sure if the Redcliffe bid wins, they won't be calling it "redcliffe" but they also can't call it Brisbane only, maybe South QLD, but north brisbane is a very loose connotation to anything "north" of suncorp stretching to Sunshine coast, im sure that will work in regards to keeping within redcliffes bid, and not affect anything the ipswich bid has for the future if it continues to want a license, if it can't get one this coming tv deal/expansion.

I could also see the South Sydney Rabbitohs vs North Brisbane Dolphins working at some level, has a similar region specific vibe about it, instead of Redfern Rabbitohs vs Redcliffe Dolphins (not that the Rabbitohs were ever named redfern, but thats the point in getting away from the "redcliffe" name)

 

[kdalymc]

more inclusive “Brisbane Dolphins”

if the 2nd team does come in, and is called Brisbane ill shoot the cat. Thats on some American sports shit right there

You're right. Next team in should be forced to use "Bris Vegas".

haha probably not that wanky, but better then Brisbane vs Brisbane.

are we forgetting the mid 90s with 3 teams called Sydney..

but no one is going to say Brisbane vs Brisbane. It will be Broncos vs Dolphins/Jets/Bombers

My point was “North Brisbane” sounds silly, particularly if people don’t identify strongly with that as a region. Western Sydney is a region of its own, people talk about being from “the west”. Do people resonate with being from “North Brisbane”? If not, it sounds plastic.

It’s funny how you can have New York Giants vs New York Jets, LA Lakers vs LA Clippers, Manchester United vs Manchester City, Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder - the list is endless - but we can have “Brisbane vs Brisbane”?

I was playing around with what a mainland China jersey might look like so appreciate the red and yellow!

There may be a good commercial or cultural reason not to but what would be people's thoughts on the Eels using their old 'spear' logo on an indigenous jersey?
