If the bid was looking for a brand that will appeal outside just the South Island, they've done well..Orcas is a goods strong brand, black, white and teal colour maybe?
* It's the current Wellington team nickname, so has some appeal to the league establishment there (presumably co-opted in, too)
* Orca have a range that covers pretty much all of NZ's coastline, not just limited to the South Island like Kea
* Black, white & teal spring to mind as a colourset option, but the key here is that they have plenty of scope for something that's "province neutral" - key for uniting a potential fanbase through the South Island and at least some of the North.
[Edit] I seem to remember an advert for the old "Wellington Dolphins" bid in the early 1990s that had a black & teal jersey mock-up, which was oddly split diagonally between black & teal sections.
