Heard that Koo ga quality is sh1te, although many of the NRL sides use them.

I guess the proof will be in the pudding when the merchandise is released.

Yeah I've heard the same thing about the quality too Tucker.. just check out the woeful stuff Melb Storm had this year.

KooGa have actually just given the flick to one of their NRL teams; who were also the first Club to go with KooGa in the Newcastle Knights. For memory that may only leave Melb Storm in the NRL

But KooGa do supply the Aust Wallabies

Official KooGa site: http://www.kooga.com.au/

Bulldogs KooGa gear for comparison: http://westernbulldogs.com.au/portals/50/shop.html

Our guernsey probably won't look any different to the Reebok one apart from KooGa instead of Reebok on base of the "V" of the jumper.

The Bulldogs range looks pretty good IMO.
Looking forward to seeing what Kooga can do.

That is exactly the colour scheme that GWS should have worn.

I hate Carlton but it is a good jersey.

Yep.  If they wanted quick take-up in their parochial environment then a variation of this colour scheme was a no-brainer.  Can't believe they chose the muck they did.

Exactly my point TTID.  They leveraged off the 'NSW Blues'.  Swans are red and white - blue tones was a perfect fit for NSW #2 for so many reasons.  I think they missed the boat but at the end of the day, I don't give a stuff as long as we own them.

Western Sydney is heavy old Western Suburbs Magpies (Black and White) and Balmain Tigers (Orange and Black).

West Tigers is the merged NRL club that wear the Black White and Orange colours.

I suppose the Charcoal, Orange and White colour scheme is to attract those rugby supporters and give a consistent colour scheme
Go Tigers!

But no-one goes to Sydney FC games. They are a fail. A city of 4 million with one soccer team draped in the state colours and they can't get crowds. Then there's the 'Tahs, they go better but not by much.
GWS are missing nothing. They;ve gone to the tribal roots of a suburban community (a effing large one) and they'll build a club anchored to something, not a disconnected franchise. When they take on their cross town rivals from the east they'll be doing it in colours that represent the west - unfortunately those colours are a bit on the shizzle  ;D

I'm surprised the AFL allow that logo at all. Not a good look when you read it. C-word F-word C-word. Suits the supporters though.  :rollin

The Pies new "alternative" strip :chuck



THE AFL has approved a new Collingwood clash jumper which will allow North Melbourne to wear its home strip in next year's Round 2 encounter.

When worn with black shorts and black socks, the Pies believe it will give enough contrast to North Melbourne's blue and white stripes.
