PNG's back.

PNG Angels maybe? In recognition of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.

I like the tribesmen theme.

PNG tribesmen. Papua tribesmen. Or just tribesmen.

 

[Gobsmacked]

Neither am I TBF.

Papua conflict - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

That's an interesting read

Yeah, don't worry about 50% of the population they don't matter.

It's a bit on the nose TBH. Invites all sort of wackos to call the game racist as well.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So kumul means bird of paradise probably their most well known animal.

Tree Kangaroo? Or equivalent in a local language

F#ck them.

Let them think what they want as tribes are part of the PNG makeup and fabric.

It's not the dumbest suggestion I've ever heard but it's in the grand final.

You must be one of the wackos mentioned above.

I freely admit to being a wacky but not that type.
It's dumb

Can't be the local language or Blocker will shit himself. Hunters or Angels IMO

F#ck them.

Yea tribes plural. Can't call them 'one tribe' outside of the national team, which unites under an animal.

 

[Matt_CBY]

National animal is Dugongs…

 

[Santino Patane]

In 20 years time it could be under water.

What’s wrong with the just keeping the PNG hunters?

My thoughts exactly. Great branding and colours- change nothing!

 

[Red&BlackBear]

There’s a bloke close to the PNG bid that says Scorpions or Stingers has been mentioned within their 4 walls multiple times. Not sure if they’ll stick but Scorpions would be pretty cool.

Not all parts of PNG identify with the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.
There were other parts of PNG that were under the Japanese and fought for them.
Off course that is never publicly spoken about because the victors wrote the history books.

I like what PR posted with PNG Tribe...
But Scorpions is a very good mascot for a brand, its very unique.. colors of black, yellow/lime, white
And I suppose they don't want to keep the Hunters

Nothing if it's something the country can associate with.

Edit: Different colours though. This club isn't the Kumuls

I’d like to see them in a canary yellow jersey with black accents. Black and yellow as club colours would be good and a nod to png colours without being exactly same.

 

[Matt_CBY]

Canary yellow is never a good option. Even the Wallabies have dropped it recently. Best decision they’ve made in years.

Aaron Woods? Enforcer?
