Yeah, the Perth NRL team didn't lose a single game all year.

That said, they didn't win any either...

Just worse tho

Does it? That’s like saying every club with blue and white jerseys look the same.
a deep scarlet red and an deeper old gold with mostly black and a shot of white is enough differentiator I’d say.
Presuming dolphins stick with their predominantly red and butterscotch gold main jersey colours.

Its bad enough a Perth team will steal queensland players for 50 plus years, now they want to take a queensland team's colours too.

Get rid of the red and you’ll be fine.

Copying the Dolphins red and metallic gold would be such a big mistake, especially when there's so much potential in other colour schemes.

The NRL needs to start getting proactive in the development of new club's brands, and mandate that expansion teams need to create brands that clash with the rest of the league as little as possible, just like the NSWRL did in the 80s and 90s.

What colours would you suggest? Reality is most useable ones are already in use in some ways. Brown is horrible so no wonder hardly any sports club uses it. i can’t think of a decent colour not used in nrl currently?

Albo is keen on funding a PNG team for 10 years. Just needs V'landys to sign the contract. PNG will probably use yellow, red and black in their kit.

There're so many options. Pink or brown for a start, both of which can be great when done well. Orange, green, and purple schemes are under represented in the NRL and Australian sport in general as well. There're a bunch of classic sports schemes that aren't represented in the NRL either like black and yellow, red and black, yellow and red, black and white, orange and blue, green and yellow, green and orange, green and white, etc, etc, I could go on forever.

You could easily get away with a red scheme if your heart is set on it as well, though it would probably be wise to use a darker shade like burgundy or blood, or one that's closer to pink or orange on the spectrum, instead of the typical vibrant red shades that the rest of the teams with red in their scheme are using.

The Storm have basically abandoned purple and yellow for purple, silver/white, and navy, and as the saying goes, use it or lose it. So I personally wouldn't begrudge an expansion team if they went that route.

You could even explore playing with tones (ochre, pastels, neon, etc, etc), fabrics, and textures. The potential is only limited by your imagination and that that already exists in the NRL.

Go with Black and Yellow, like dane brought up some months back the Pittsburgh Pirates colour scheme looks the best
