The NSW Blues are dressed for success and will portray trust and reliability when they take the field against the Maroons wearing their controversial dark blue jerseys in the opening game of the State of Origin series, according to a leading colour psychologist.
Evidence-based colour expert Zena O’Connor says the Blues kit displays a winning attitude and the Queensland jumper is “an oddball colour”.
Queensland coach Billy Slater had only one answer when asked if Reece Walsh is ready to play State of Origin.
“Darker blue tends to be deemed more trustworthy and reliable, hence dark blue is often associated with professional business people,” O’Connor said.
“Sky blue is associated with happiness because of the sky and sunny days. It has a lot of positive connotations.
“But when it comes to sport, dark blue is associated with winning at the highest level.

It's a day old but thought I'd share seeing as I haven't noticed it on the forum.
Queensland hire their legends for inspiration meanwhile we get colour psychologists🤔
