Time to make the magpie more visible.

I have to completely disagree with this statement altogether. I believe that at the moment we waste too much of our time worrying about heritage, and not worrying about the future of our club, Wests Tigers. The acknowledgement of both clubs in the joint venture is right there in the name. Wests for one side, Tigers for the other. That is what was agreed upon from the start and that is where it should have ended.

I'm not saying don't acknowledge heritage, I'm a traditionalist and I think it's important to do so. My idea is use the two NRL heritage rounds to acknowledge heritage of both clubs, and then use one home game from Leichhardt and one from Campbelltown to celebrate the heritage of both sides of the joint venture.

But outside of that we need to be Wests Tigers and create our own history instead of trying to live off that of a long time ago, which to me seems to be the attitude of at least one side.
 
I repeat what I said to Bug when we had this argument a while ago

If you are worried about the size of the Magpie , lets put a Magpie on the front or the back of the socks

You could have 2 magpies then and twice the size
 
Someone raised a point earlier about whether or not we should change the logo.
Separate topic and should be moved, but I think we should change the logo.
Not a huge fan of the one now.
A couple clubs have changed in the past couple years, notably the Dogs - there logo is much better IMO.
Do we need a refresher or is it just wasting time on marketing?

I have never bought a Wests Tigers jersey because that stupid bird is on it. I may buy one if they have the Black Birds Logo on one sleeve and the Balmain Logo on the other though?!

Your a troubled soul Watto 😢

What did one divebomb when you were a child 😢

Did Souths regularly hammer Easts when you played in the BRL :laughing:

I'll take option B
 
For the logo…
Why could we not have a coat of arms type with a tiger on one side and magpie on other holding a shield of some shape with a WT logo on that (kind of like the members logo of a last year I think).

No one buys socks

Nah Ink …well what the hell do people wear inside their thongs during winter if it isn't knee high footy socks.
Or maybe you come from the posh, Ugghh boot end of town.

I like the idea of having both old Wests and Balmain logos on the jersey somewhere ...
 
Galahs was pretty much on the money last year when he suggested moving the Magpie symbol back to the point of the shoulder and back to its larger size of previous seasons.

Costs nothing, retores prominence and hurts nobody

A glimpse into the evolution of the Wests Tigers - maybe not in our time.

Short of the whole team running out in magpie costumes (ala Mark the Magpie) some people will never be satisfied…

Wests Tigers are my club now i used to follow Wests but they are gone, as i said i follow WESTS TIGERS.

Name of club: Wests Tigers.

Combination of two traditional clubs, Western Suburbs and Balmain Tigers.

Ergo, both Magpie and Tiger should be prominently displayed on jersey. Simple.
 
Front of jersey should be decorated in Tigers colors and faint traditional logo, likewise for the Magpies on the back. Alternate every year or for home games home ground team features on the front. Is there anyone on this forum that can put a jersey design together, so we can have a look at it.
