:LOL: Better than the Knights jerseys- I think you'd be hard pressed to find people who agreed with you there. At least Newcastle's jerseys have collars and don't stray from the true club colours. I'm having trouble spotting any navy blue on Brisbane's 1988 jersey :?

Are you denying your club struggles with the concept of maintaining the same club colours? :lol:

No, I'm agreeing with Yippee_Wippee that this:

The Adelaide Rams carbon copy?

I think the retro one they wore in late 04 was best, followed by the current. Very simple, the alt design is the exact opposite (and it works unlike some).

WTF is with Brisbane having a white jersey? WTF does white have to do with their club? Get what we mean?

The NRL rules say an away jersey has to be mainly white or a minor colour.

No it doesn't.

- Souths black jersey
- Parra's blue jersey
- Knights red jersey
- Tigers orange jersey

Not to mentions the Dragons and bulldogs, although slightly different as their home jerseys are white.

Still thats 6 clubs who do not have a white or minor colour. The NRL just says the alternate must be...well...an alternate colour.

I just read somewhere in big league or league week a time ago that that was the case.
By minor color I mean minor on the main jersey or logo. EG On the Dragons main jersey the minor color is red (Compared to the white) and same with the Dogs.

And in most club cases they have a contrasting alternate colour to work with.

Brisbane - Maroon & Yellow. Why not have maroon home and yellow away?
Bulldogs - Blue & White. Predom White home, Predom blue away
Canberra - Lime & White (with blue and yellow), they use this well now.
Cronulla - Blue Black and White. Used well also. Although that away jersey does look sh*tty.
Gold Coast - Aqua white and gold, all used well with each other
Manly - Maroon & White - inversion of each other again, well used.
Melbourne - Navy, purple, gold and white. Need to pick up their act with that away jersey quick smart. No reason they can't do a navy/purple home strip and a yellow/purple away strip.
Newcastle - perfect setup - Blue and Red inverted H&A strips.
New Zealand - Black and silver. Inverted H&A Strips, well set up again.
North Qld - Navy, grey, yellow and white. An unknown quanitity although their cow horn jerseys worked well inverted for a few years.
Parramatta - Well set up again - yellow home, blue away, even a white if they get stuck.
Penrith - Black, teal, rust. Not sure why their away jersey needs to be white when it's been a club colour (teal) for the past few seasons but whatever works Pemriff...
Saints - Self explanatory, white with red v at home, red steelers strip away. good use of colour inversion
Souths - pretty dodgy IMO... the home jersey looks great but the away is a pretty minor deviation from the home jersey... seems pointless. They should've gone with the mintie strip or something. That said they do look quite sharp.
Sydney - Use the tricolours well although the OTTness of some of their away jersey designs lately is weird. Could've just stayed as is.
Wests - hope they stick with the current pattern. Each is a good tribute to the parent clubs and look good.

At the end of the day every club will do whatever they want anyway :lol:

Ah ok sorry, i interpreted "minor" as meaning a light/non-dominant colour, which obviously black/blue/red/orange are not.

my bad

On Brisbane's alternate jersey from the past couple of seasons, I have no problems with it being a mostly white jersey (as their club colours are maroon, yellow, and white), but I do have a problem with the navy-blue. What's doing there? In my opinion, they should have used the same design as the home jersey (which they did), but had it mostly white with maroon side-bits, ect. The yellow could have outlined the maroon bit.

On the Knights jerseys, I've always maintained their jersey design 1988-96 (especially 1995-96 ... it is slightly different AND has a collar) has been their best so far, and possibly will always be. Their current blue jersey is my 2nd favourite design, and although I'm not the biggest fan of their red jersey, I believe they went about it the right way. That being said, when I learned of their decision to have a new away design this time last year, I mucked around and came up with this which is a slight variation on the home design:

Needs red shorts. Shorts have a massive effect on the althogether kit.

True, but like I said, this was what I came up with (quickly, mind you) 12 or 13 months ago.

I don't think so. I think every jersey that is new for 2007 has been released now for Christmas sales. Why would the Bulldogs want to miss out on them?
As far as I remember every team in recent years has released their new playing strips a month or 2 before Christmas to cash in on holiday shopping.

It's just what I have heard.

IMO if there really is a new one we will atleast see it by early Feb in time for trials..

Anyway I guess we can only wait and see if it's true or not.
