Is this club confused?

[aturkey]

I always thought we were a tri colour club.
Now I know many of you will brush this off as if it's nothing... As you do in the past as it's been a recurring problem since day one every now and then.
We are black white & orange
White orange and black
Orange black & white whatever way you like... But it's those three.
Knights or Roosters don't omit a colour otherwise they're a totally different team... But it's OK for us.
Imagine the uproar if they "forgot" the orange 🤣
Notice this with the COE opening too.all the black & orange balloons.

And they bang on about identity and DN bloody A... what a jokeView attachment 3384

Honestly youre 100% right. Its like if Roosters made a post saying "Brandon Smith's first day in Red and Blue"

It would be bizarre

100% were tri-colour.
Yes black or Orange may Dominate, however there must be some white.

Putting all the politics aside, as a player I always preferred lighter jerseys, cooler and look better. I didn't mind the all white jersey with a splash of black and gold.
As long as there is three colours it's not worth losing hair over.

Cmon Cobar,

Do you know how hard it is to get Rooster blood out of a white Jersey? How about Bulldog GRubbiness?

Ok in fairness I thought our White Jerseys looked cool too. Still prefer the Orange or Black. ...

I’m not as bothered by it as some.
Traditionally the linking colour from two clubs that formed Wests Tigers is Black. However If you think of Wests, they were predominantly black, conversely Balmain were predominantly Orange.
White was the secondary colour of Wests just as black was the Secondary colour of Balmain.
What really is the issue?

It depends on what colour hair you are likely to lose

Ink is not worried about the colour of the training gear, the original post said it was Klemmer's first day in Black and Gold, that was the issue.

What a load of rubbish - the colours of the club are black orange and white. Your ok with Balmains secondary colour but not wests secondary colour. Just want the club to get the colours right.

Only a Ginger can call another Ginger, Ginger.

Don't forget the purple stripe Balmain had!

No the white exists as a secondary colour of the club. I just mean why does it have to be so controversial that we are referred to as only Black (Wests) and Orange (Tigers).
It’s not like they call the club Black and Gold, that ship long sailed.
But back to the original point if white is a secondary colour to Wests only are we really tri colours?

Sydney Tigers wasn’t it?

Good point, I do have the original version of the jersey though, which was used in the 7s while the club was still the Balmain Tigers.

The point is our official colours are black white and orange - how many other clubs do you see downgrading their official colours. Don't see the rorters saying they are red and blue.

 

[tig_prmz]

Im completely with you.

im an ex Balmain guy but they are gone.

the media team should should hire 50 year olds and not 18 year olds. stupid department, run by pascoe

The club is looking to get 18 year Olds to follow Wests Tigers. No offence to the 50 year Olds here but no one under the age of 40 cares about which colours a random FB post missed.

We are black, white and gold, we are black and gold, we are white and gold, we are just gold, just orange.. take any permutation of those colours.

Great so let’s play in a predominant white jersey than. Though there doesn’t seem to be much of an appetite for white when you decide to base a jersey around it.
Often the reply is why are we playing in white? Where is the orange? Where is the black.
