Early photo of the perth pumas colts team. Maybe a jersey dEwing like this for pirates seeing as dolphins have stolen what should have been our colours.

Kinda think its the same colors anyways, and in reality its close to penrith aswell
What you guys should be looking at is leaning into what makes WA colors (usually Black/Gold) then pick something very obscure that is unique to the rest of the comp like what the raiders (lime) and storm (purple) have done as the main color... in seeing the knights last game i reckon orange would pop, then add the WA colors to it, for instance the raiders or ACT colors were blue and gold, they keep them as the secondary trims.
Pirates or Pumas whoever you guys are going to be..
Orange with black and gold strips..
It would work well for the throwbacks of the 90s heritage jerseys too

Other option could be orange/tangerine, gold and white which is quite a nice combo. Doesnt really work for Pirates though.

Certainly cant call them Reds tho...
I would be adding black and gold stripes at least on the sleeves, just recently watching a few news clips on papanhauzen returning, he looked mighty good in that falcons kit... maybe do what dane said double down on the WA colors Black Gold, Trim of white.
Still can use the old reds design as a heritage as its mostly black and white

When it was the reds red made sense. Now its the pirates: Black, gold, silver.

Not that I’m a fan of the Pirates moniker but I think black and gold works for WA. I also think it would help their marketing - help drive the us vs them kind of thing.

Agree, not a fan of pirates but its their team and they can go with what they like.

Nz warriors

Warriors need to to stick with their auckland colours and leave the black and silver for the national team (and Pirates).

got too much the jamaican vibes for me. I hope we go with a classic design that we stick with year on year and create brand awareness with. The more recent clubs to join NRL seem to struggle withthat and consistently changing their designs and even colours. Doesnt help with brand recognition. MugaB design would be a one year wonder before they swapped to another weird jersey shape.

Having the local/state colours shouldn’t be an issue. Broncos, Lions, Storm, Carlton & Sharks are just some examples that have colour schemes very close to or the same as their state colours. Most of the Super Rugby teams too for that matter.

Black and Gold for sure. Would be great to get the Swan in there. Alternate, what if the club called itself Swan River. Then you would have an easy excuse to use a black swan as a mascot. Not sure there needs to be an excuse though.

Love that design

I don't think there's an issue with the red black yellow though just because the dolphins have that jersey. Plenty of clubs have the same colours. Today's
Roosters knights as an example

The flow-on if Perth choose black & yellow is that a Wellington team (if chosen for expansion) would probably want to avoid the Wellington province sports colours - which are black & yellow as well.

Not a terrible thing, as it might widen the appeal of a Wellington based team.
