South Island Kea

[Matiunz]

Is it Kea or Keas?
Isn’t it a parrot? It would be like the Sout Island Parrot rather than South Island Parrots.

Kea is both singular and plural.
Minor nitpick of mine is people who call Melbourne the “Storms”

I've never heard anyone say "The Storms".

 

[Canard]

I've never heard anyone say "The Storm's".

You've never had a root either.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

There's Australians in this thread posting pictures of soccer apparel from Italy and lauding them as the Leonardo Di Vinci of jersey design. All I see is an average looking soccer kit that would look out of place on a rugby league player. It's as if people aren't happy with Australia being Australia and think we must copy Europe and America. There's nothing special about Europe and America.

Not all of us revel in ignorance like you do.

FTR I don't support Roma or any other Series A team. I used their jersey as an example for a very specific reason, and most of the stuff Adidas produces for their top teams is better than pretty much anything that's kicking around in the NRL. You can pretend it isn't true if you like, but it is what it is.

Explains so much. Some of that must of made its way into English? None of the Kiwis I have known say ‘women’ it’s always ‘woman’. “There are not enough woman in parliament“ for example.

Should it be kiwi, instead of kiwis?

Jersey design is subjective you pompous know-it-all. What one person likes might be hated by some one else. Deal with it ansd top pretending you're some expert on jersey design.

You once claimed NFL stadia that have no shelter from the rain are better than Lang Park because they have more room outside of the ground for people to beat a drum before kick off.

Only a f**kwit would think rugby league fans in Australia value beating a drum before a game over not being exposed to rain, wind and sun. The only reason you talk up America is because you have a low opinion of Australia and need to be argumentative.

America is a crime ravaged shithole full of dumb fat tobacco chewing hillbillies who think the world is 4,000 years old.

The soccer jersey you posted is shithouse, BTW.

It should but that one dates from years back when nobody had much respect for the language

one that weirds me out is my Melbourne mates who just call them “Storm” without the “The”

I did ponder that one

Ray Warren of all people used to call the players 'Stormers'. Super annoying

The irony of you having a go at Americans for being ignorant whilst simultaneously putting your ignorance of American culture on display is gold.

BTW, the only one who's gone out of their way to attack anybody's taste in football jerseys is you. I didn't even say I liked Roma's away. . . Let alone that it was the best jersey, or whatever it is you're trying to suggest. And there are objective elements to all artforms. So no jersey design isn't purely subjective, and there is such a thing as objectively bad jersey design.

I think that gridiron, baseball, basketball and soccer apparel look like bland nerdy shit. In the case of gridiron and basketball it's just a players number on a shirt/singlet with a name written in a boring bold font.

Anyone from Australia that watches boring American games like baseball and gridiron is just a tryhard wannabe Yankee Doodle sidekick who has an inferiority complex.

Most Americans wouldn't know that Canberra is the capital of Australia, FWIW.

BTW, my comment about "beating a drum" was a piss take on your idiotic claim that America stadia are better than Lang Park because they have more room for "tailgating". Tailgating is the name for fans assembling before a game to play music and do other moronic shit outside of the stadium. If you ever bothered to attend an NRL or AwFuL game then you would know it's not something the average Australian gives a f**k about doing. You'll find the average Australian sports fan getting stuck into the piss before and after the game. Most NFL stadia don't have a f**ken roof.

Here is another of David Moffet’s great ideas. Approach with caution.

10 reasons league and union should merge to become One Rugby - and give AFL nightmares

Both the NRL and RA would benefit from sharing resources and talent. A merger would bring league international exposure and union stability

www.theroar.com.au

I actually thought it was going to be apout merging the 2 games as one....so I didn't get a full hard on the piece.

Or it could be as simple as people liking a sport and following it perhaps.

It is essentially the same as people liking architecture, artists, writers, musicians et al from other countries. If they like it or think it is good, then they like it.

The whole nationalist crap is inane.

I call bullshit on this.

Would the average Aussie who calls themselves a gridiron fan give a f**k about the sport if it was only played in Albania?

Do they even watch the games?

Why don't the so called gridiron fans follow the CFL?

It's a very similar sport.

Why do the Aussie EPL fans support winning teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U or Man City?

Why do the so called baseball and basketball fans walk around with apparel from the Yankees and Lakers but never the Mets or Clippers?

It's because they see these sports and brands as status symbols. These are the same wankers who buy a Mercedes or BMW for its image, and not because of what's underneath the bonnet. The same f**kheads will buy an electric car that is more harmful to the planet than a normal combustion engine car, then walk around acting as if their shit doesn't stink while they go on 10 plane trips each year.

Most people are full of shit.

At least most people leave the house lol

At least I don't need to board a plane to get to an NRL game.

You do if you wanted to watch the Cowboys play a home game.
