Wests Heritage round advertising

[Balmain_Bug]

Balmain Bug,

You are the most annoying person ever. You should support Parramatta going by how much you winge. Your footballing analysis is terrible and your constant negativity with off field issues is just plain boring.

My head hurts from you. Let me point out a stat for you that I've always wanted which is completely off topic.

Tim Sheens 4 Premierships
Balmain bug 0 Premierships[

Dude,

Please. We are Black, White and Orange.

There are certain people in the Wests Tigers organisation that are doing there very best to be as Balmain as possible.

This is the part I dont agree on… I really feel the people in the Wests Tigers organisation are truely trying to make things as much 'Tigers' as possible. I dont think there is any conspiracies Bug, just the way forward for the Wests Tigers.

As much 'Tigers' as possible ?? What do you mean ??

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Bug, you stated they are trying to make things as 'Balmain as possible', but I dont feel this is the case. I feel they are driving the 'Tiger' brand, but that is in relation to the Wests Tigers, not Balmain.

It is what we are… Tigers!

 

[Guest]

happy tiger I have moved on, but some Balmain people at WT obviously cant. Fairness and 50/50 equity is all I ask. We are Black, white and orange, not black and orange as some people within the WT organisation are trying to push.

Personally I find these topics trivial and do not really give the branding much thought. I like the Tiger emblem and I like the black, white and Orange combo but in this instance I would suggest you call WT and ask to speak to someone in Marketing BB, or better yet, see if Humphreys will take a call. Better to voice your disenchantment with the club rather than not if you feel that strongly about it.

I'm more concerned with the Tigers putting up a good fight on Friday night as opposed to how the match is advertised.

I don't think so…
It seems that you are unhappy with the establishment from top to bottom...
You are here whinginging there is an Orange Strip on a website advertisement 😕
What YOU need to remember is that the WESTS TIGERS are hosting this event...
NOT the Wests Magpies!! There is Black and White in the Ad, There is also Orange.
All of these shades are relevant to WESTS TIGERS!!
This is a WESTS TIGERS game and they can advertise it how they like....
You really do read to much into this....
If you think Stephen Humphries has time to stand over the shoulder of the Website designer, Watching him update every graphic detail... Then you really must have confidence in his ability... I mean, If he has time to single handedly oversee such Meanial tasks?
The advertising will be gone within a week.... It would be done with limited consideration for the narrow mindedness of your constant dribble and in the best interests of the promotions dept. for.. Yep... You Guessed it.... The WESTS TIGERS!!!
Balmain had a heritage game in the Strip, Now Wests will have the same....
Don't get much more 50/50 than that...
Since you have so much free time.... Why don't you head over to concord and let down the tires down in the Carpark once a week... Surely it will help vent your frustrations??
One week you could get Sheens & Humpty... the next week, The Promotions Girls in the Office!!

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

Wouldn't this be an occasion you would wanna forget?
I mean… Doesn't matter how much you love Wests, The got Whipped!!
What's to celebrate... Might as well watch replays of Sowie's field goal from last years semi???

Nothing wrong with remembering a loss. We have the Legends Cup every season with Canberra to commemorate the 1989 grand final.

I am just always shocked how in the lead up to truly important games for this franchise that these issues keep getting dredged up.

We could play a Balmain heritage round in a white and purple strip at Bluetongue Stadium and all that would really matter was the on field result

batboy,
I am pro Wests Tigers. I am just saying they need to include the colour 'white' in the advert. I am not complaining about the colour Orange. I love the colour Orange. I bought two Orange jerseys for my daughters. Im just saying the WT have banished tbe colour white from adverts and merchandise.

 

[Knuckles]

Let's just hope Wests Tigers put up a better performance than Wests Magpies did 50 years ago!!!
In my opinion, and I'm a Wests fan orginally, I don't see why you would particularly want to celebrate losing 22-0.
I'll be thinking about 2005 on Friday night, not 1961.

Spot on PP ….......couldn't agree more.
Would much rather recall the last premiership win in 1952 against Souths.

 

[batboy]

True Smeg… It really eggs me!!
I don't care about any of it...
I love to reflect in past glories from both side of the JV
But really.... There were to few, far to long ago to even bother...
We need to beat the Premiers this week... It will do Heaps for our confidence,
we haven't beat them since early 2009 (If I remember correct)...
And we really could use a roll on with the tightness of the 8

 

[batboy]

Aren't they wearing the Magpie Strip??
The advertising will be gone next week and will be of no consequence to the result…
Not getting fully behind this team and its management at this critical time in the season WILL definately
effect the result!!
I know where I stand....
If I were you... I would be more worried about the Premiership we "Could" win this year....
than the One we LOST 50 years ago!!

Once again an opinion is posted and the 66% (including mods/admin) shoot him done. Typical.

 

[Spartan117]

As a new entity, Heritage Round is a crappy for us, it causes to much angst for us here and it achieves nothing.

I hate dredging up the old jerseys. We have the best on show at present especially Compared to the Victa Wests or my old Philips Balmain.

The past is gone.

Ps Tigers Marketing, Please splash some white in 2012 and make Bug happy.

 

[prattenpark]

Didn't we wear the white strip with black shorts last Friday night

 

[happy_tiger]

Didn't we wear the white strip with black shorts last Friday night

Yeah PP we did We could of saved the lime green socks for this week Would of had Saints thinking about their Canberra voodoo a little more

 

[Eye_of_the_Tiger]

Bug you say the white has been disapearing over the last few years.

Remind me what colour was the 10 year strip was?
What colour was the strip on Friday night?

I would argue we wear the white strip more then the orange.

Yes, from the jersey's it hasn't, but from most of the merchandise it has.

Blah, Blah, Blah…...
Loved your post about the Maggies losing on the weekend....
Good to see IYO that the Wests Tigers Board aren't the only ones raping
Westsern Suburbs beyond belief!!

 

[Eye_of_the_Tiger]

Having a look a most of the Merchandise the main colour is black (Fits both sides of the JV)

I think the White and orange is shared pretty equal amongst everything else. There are things that are just black and orange but same goes for black and white.

Looking at most of the options you can choose ethier the white or the orange pretty fair way of doing things IMO.
