VICTORIA PARK ACES
The final expansion team saw the Victoria Park Aces born in 2008 - a name representing both the close proximity to the Perth Airport (flying aces), and the Burswood casino complex located within the city boundaries. The Aces play out of the suburban Lathlain Park, and entered the league in a striking black and orange striped design - which in the years following has gone from black to navy blue with the stripes being angled representing a plane taking off, in the same way the club aims to take off. The club represents not only Victoria Park, but the Belmont and Canning areas - Canning missing out on a standalone team to Victoria Park when the expansion was taking place, as Albany Highway runs through Victoria Park and into the City of Canning, thus the WAFC deemed that Victoria Park would represent the entirety of the south-east suburbs. Still without a premiership in their short history, the club has the likes of Charlie Cameron, Jake Waterman, Eric Mackenzie and Rhys Palmer on their playing list.
if staying red and yellow, inverse them and make yellow the predominate colour, you know, like the sun they are named after.
I wonder if the eagles would be willing to affiliate with them
I think the Eagles should consider either buying or affiliating with West Perth. even though I am a Swan Districts supporter, I don't want the Cardinals to fold. it would be a major loss to the Western Australian Footy Landscape.
I know West Coast are looking likely to align with Perth, but it would give West Perth some financial stability if they could align with the Eagles for a while if it comes to it. It would be terrible to see a club with such a rich history fold.
Was the "G" that you used for the Heritage the same font as the old West Coast text on their old jumpers as a nod to the Eagles or was it not meant as a nod to the Eagles?
GERALDTON ROVERS
Entering the league in 2006, the Geraldton Rovers are the epitome of a country footy club. Formed after support and backing from a number of clubs in the Mid-West and North regions of WA, the club formed out of Wonthella Oval in Geraldton and so were born the Rovers, due to their travel requirements and land covered across the state. This is also why the club chose to use a kangaroo as their mascot, the true "rovers" of the Western Australia. You can't have a country footy club without a country footy guernsey, and Geraldton do not disappoint with a green and gold chevron ensemble - which they have worn in variations since their inception into the league. Unfortunately still without a premiership, the club does however boast some quality local players including the three-time Bernie Naylor Medal winning Josh Kennedy, Patrick Cripps, Dom Sheed and Northern Territory export, Willie Rioli.
