Im lovin their designs but i can see them coming out with some shitty looking jerseys (im thinking a Wests Tigers level of shit)

 

[Perth Red]

First attempt leaves some to be desired. They went over the top with the v's and with the yellow to orange side panels. Primary club colours are black,red and yellow. Stick to them, keep it simple and classic and should be able to come up with a cracking jersey by time we kick off.

Not being picky, but that shirt would have looked awesome if it was black instead of white.

 

[Perth Red]

Home shirt is black, alternate is white

 

[beave]

Im talking about the above one that is supposedly a limited edition?

 

[Perth Red]

Ah the tshirt? They did a mock up of a grey tshirt with black logo which was awesome but never produced for sale sadly.

What a great year for the game of RL in WA 2013 has been. We have seen new clubs start up in Mandurah (Storm) and Geraldton (Vikings). We saw the re emergence of the Willagee Bears after last years disaster when questions were being asked of their first grade future. WA once again dominated the State Championships taking home the titles in the Men's, Ladies and schoolboys and finishing runners up in the U18's. The game was reinvigorated in the Pilbara with the appointment of a new development officer and great gains made in the communities up in our North. The WA mens team played an absolute blinder in the NRL warm up game, defeating the powerful NSW Country Bulls team and sending a shockwave across the Nullarbor all the way to the east coast. Another tough but succesful WC Pirates SG Ball campaign saw many WA youngsters blooded in the toughest U18's RL comp in the world and go on to strengthen the WARL clubs or have a crack at the Holden Cup. Whilst the bid was quiet with little news or expansion talk a very important piece in the jigsaw was completed with the $120million redevelopment of nib and then..... who can forget that great night when over 20,000 packed it out to send the NRL a very clear message about how much WA loves its league. All in all a tremendous year and can't wait for 2014 when the excitement about expansion ramps up and the Pirates (hopefully) get the green light to set sail!

Thanks for the enthusiastic report Perth Red. Good to hear.

It's often said the game in WA is littered with ex-pat Kiwis and Islanders. That pic of the SG Ball squad indicates nothing could be further from the truth.

Hopefully the game continues to thrive over there.

Someone mentioned our jersey (which I am not a big fan of our first attempt). I really like the classic RL look of the Wales RLWC2013 jersey so did a quick mock up of it in Pirates colours and logos. What do you think?

Alternate for when we play the Panthers!

 

[Dakink]

I'm liking both of those! Hope perth get a team sooner rather than later.

Good news for the game in WA with the Bulldogs signing a deal to bring a game to nib in 2014

NRL ceo's praise for WA

NRL CEO Dave Smith said that he’s been happy to work with the Bulldogs to see another game scheduled in Perth.

“The passion for the game in Western Australia extends from the grass roots participation to the record crowd at nib Stadium for a game last year.

“There is a real appetite for Rugby League in Perth and I’m delighted to see the Bulldogs taking a game there next year.

“As support for the game grows we are seeing matches played across a national stage and Perth is a key destination.”

A little birdy tells me the Canterbury game could be Round 1.

Awesome looking jerseys PR. Lets hope the marketing design people get it right and make them look something very, very much like these, except the collar, it is too high up.

They would be up there with the best in the comp, not that it is all that hard to beat most jersey designs in the NRL.

I mean how hard is it to pick a good strong V and put your colours around it and the colour band trim on the sleeves?

Hardly Versace now is it?

 

[Perth Red]

Cheers yeh it shouldn't be hard. With the move to sublination printing designs have got messier and messier. Pick your clubs primary colours, keep it simple. Not hard! Pirates first jerseys are a classic example, got too fancy with side panels going all orangey. Just need to decide if primary club colour will be red or black then include the yellow.

 

[Nuke]

My personal thoughts are that the main jersey's colour should be red, with the alternate jersey's main colour being yellow. Black should be the secondary colour on both jerseys.
