    Agreed, even with the white outline the red would still bleed heavily into the black, the outline would need to be very thick to work. It works on a still photo but moving on a TV screen or from a distance the Pepper would be almost illegible.

    Not the middle one, red on black rarely works, the red will bleed into the black particularly on TV or in average to poor lighting.

    What Car do you Drive..?

    2005 Mitsubishi Magna and a 2009 Ford Falcon XR6. Now we are moving to a rural area needed a car more suited to some of the conditions so just purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Exceed.

    Yes, the Fruit Pickers came about because back in the day you had play for the side in the area you resided, so with Ashfield being a rural area with predominantly orchards many of the players were fruit pickers. Interestingly the Balmain colours of black and gold were not inspired by the Tiger...

    True but Lidcombe wasn't the regular venue until 1962, prior to that there was only 7 games at Lidcombe the first in 1941. By the way from 1908 to 1999 Western Suburbs played 246 games at Lidcombe (August 31, 1941 - August 31, 1986) and 345 at Pratten Park (August 24, 1912 - August 18, 1985)...

    Hate seeing Joe Cool in the opposition line-up, though always interesting seeing players in the lower grades, some notable names nearing the end of their careers and some just starting out. Notice Wayne Lambkin turning out for the Magpies in the under 23's.

    Yep, though the term Red Rattler originated in Victoria with their electric suburban rolling stock that began operating in 1919 and the term was later adopted here. More of a challenge compared to the modern stock of today, being 1926 technology they were very basic in operation but good to...

    Started as a 2nd person at Lithgow in 1988, went into the ETR school in early 1990 and was appointed Driver at Central in late 1990. Spent 9 years at Central before transferring to Blacktown in 1999 where I spent the next 24 years before retiring in 2023.

    So you can refer to Melbourne as the Storm, and Penrith as, well a commonly used version of the Panthers, and I suspect you refer to other clubs by their logo/mascot, which many do. So why can't others use "Tigers" when referring to the Wests Tigers, you do it with other clubs but you scold...
