As I've already stated, I'm not using the bottle green anymore. I'm going to a new, closer to fluoro, green for this season.

Ah, so your colour scheme is as new as mine? With that in mind, I don't see why you should be entitled to favourable treatment.

The only change to my colour scheme is the green. Everything else is the same compared to a brand new team. As an already existing team, surely I get the preference as per every other team in this competition

I think you should stick with bottle green, though. Navy/lime/silver is a bit of a weird mix. It can look really nice if you break up the blue/green with silver.

And I was told the exact opposite last year. I was advised to go down the lime route al la Seattle Seahawks

Last season, the Ballarat Diggers and Mt Isa Miners coexisted without any confusion, conflict or detriment to either's brand, despite both having similar nicknames. The Ballarat Diggers and Canberra Parliament coexisted without any confusion, conflict or detriment to either's brand, despite both having similar colour schemes.

The argument that's been going on for the last couple of days is incredibly petty.

Honestly, it doesn't really matter what colour scheme you choose, as long as you work with it.

RE: Similar colour schemes. As long as our designs are significantly different, it shouldn't be an issue, as St Mark has mentioned above. A real world example would be Geelong and Carlton. They share colours and there's never any issue, because they have vastly different designs. Same applies to similarities between, say, Sydney, St Kilda and Collingwood.

I'm almost positive I said in the first season that I don't mind similar colour schemes as long as the designs are different.

Geelong/Carlton as a real life example.

It started like 'oh, haha, it's all in the format of an official press release, that's pretty funny.'

Then it turned out people were being serious.

Siiiiiiiigh.

Ah season 2, brings back memories. I think you can actually still find entries from Season 1 on here as well. And who knows, maybe similar looks will return this year in one form or another.

I think yours was my favourite in that comp. IIRC gava won the whole thing.

If only we had some sort of NAFL history thing to be sure..

Yeah I really liked it too, but losing in that finals series was the catalyst for the dumping of the Whales name.

I already have 2 entries in by the way.

The Makos will be in once the NAFL get of their lazy backsides and let the Makos know where they are playing their Heritage and Christmas games.

It'll be in either Aus or NZ, that should narrow it down quite a bit.

Yeah heaps thanks.

Unfortunately though our sponsor isn't as accepting of the answer.

*silhouette isn't my own work, and i want to make my own, therefore logo is still in progress

 

[Maxwell110]

I might still play around with the colours of everything and work on the teeth a little more to try and make them look a bit more original.

 

[E92_]

I like the colour scheme.

I would go even lighter and go royal and green, Vancouver Canucks style.

I guess the only issue is that people don't vote for light colours for some reason (and I might even make a thread about this anti-light colour conspiracy).

All the guernseys up the top of these competitions are black or navy based, with brighter coloured solid designs inexplicably losing games they should win far too often

Agreed. It doesn't make sense. Everyone is saying "Collingwood should go back to the lighter jumper" but not voting for light designs in this.

Think it's a myth tbh.


Emus made the GF in the 1st season with red, orange and yellow as the colours.

I think the Emus are a bit of an exception. That was an insanely good strip.

Dylan and Ando in FIRA are great examples, Dylan especially. That's a top 4 entry, and it missed the 8.

But they had a dark purple and black clash strip
