Gold vs Orange

[blakewp]

For ten years we have had citrus orange rather than gold jerseys. Does anyone know why we stopped using gold?

Global Commodity Prices would be my guess..

Gold is associated with winning, that is not us.

Was it ever gold to begin with? How can we and Parra be both classified as gold when they are 2 different colours.

This is a HUGE annoyance of mine.

Why can't they get the colour right?
They did it in 2006 too, slightly tweaking the colour for no reason.

it's not hard to get the colour right

Before and after.
It's been effing up my OCD since then!

The current blood orange is a disgrace

As Laurie Nichols would say, black and gold never fold (maybe not appropriate for current team hence the orange)!!

That MKB Benji is wearing (and the alternate) is my favourite jersey.

Nice jerseys.
My personal favourite was the black proton.
10/11 I think?

Gold, Citrus Orange, there is a compromise that would be the most appropriate and would come close to satisfying the majority of die hard supporters . . . . . . . . . . Fool's Gold.

Great song

The process they are printed by . . . sublimation . . . does not allow for precise colours.
It's a "close enough" situation, and for some reason, orange is one of those difficult colours.
OCD rocks, Kul . . . . don't know what you do for a living, but if it involves 3000 fonts and 5000 colours . . . I feel your pain bro.

My preference is the black gold, but hey, I'm old.

My favourite that I am still trying to get hold of is this 2009/2010 beauty.

Been having trouble finding the replacement for that player as well.

Always keeping an eye out for one of them in my size.

As a Wests man, I didn’t mind the mustardy gold colour of Balmain teams in the 70s ... can’t stand the present day, diabetes inducing orange

The football cards, old photographs and pub paintings of the time never duplicated the Balmain gold colour accurately. The old cotton jerseys started gold, but faded a bit from washing over the season. Old survivors now are usually faded to the mustard yellow colour.
The gold on this chart is nothing like Parramatta's gold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_yellow
The 1945 jersey gold is the same as the 60's, 70's & 80's jerseys that I have seen.
