Yellow is a GREAT clash colour. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to this, and all other white jumper variants.
Agree that white as one of our colours sucks in general, but for this design, the background colour had to white. With that eagles head being so detailed there was no other option.

It's good because we gave the artist a blank canvas to illustrate their own idea, rather than telling them to work within the tri panel or the wings, like Richmond do with the sash. The watering holes actually tell a story. Aboriginal art carries more meaning than any guernsey design; it's not as simple as just slapping some swirls/boomerangs on some wings, even though I would've liked the wings incorporated somehow, but I respect what the artist has done and why he has done it.

The story could surely have been incorporated into the wings guernsey though. I'm all for allowing a bit of creative licence, particularly for the sake of indigenous round, but what we've got looks like a dog's breakfast. And why white? Surely something that messy would've at least been improved with an ochre background?

The artist shouldn't have been given a blank canvas in the first place, for the club is the WCE not team Aboriginal. If this PC farce for a round must go forward, WC should ensure that their guernsey doesn't get completely hijacked for a week. At the very least make the jumper a hybrid by incorporating the wings into it, as an Eagles jumper should have.

Why is Narkle speaking of reconciliation when Krudd has already expressed an apology? The issue of reconciliation should be done and dusted. If that wasn't enough, then some Aboriginals and their sympathetic PC drones are using the term 'reconciliation' as a pretext to milk it for all it's worth. Thus, it seems, some of them deliberately choosing to be stuck in their own self imposed state of perpetual victim-hood, just like the ideological gender feminists, for another example, or, it may be a case of using the term for a cynical - usually money making - agenda.

The guernsey is only fit for wiping one's arse on. And the idea of PC nonsense rounds for Aboriginals, women, etc., is a load of bovine excrement, too.

I realise that I do not know you personally, but you come across as a bit of a racist in this post.
Just saying

Can you quote specifically to demonstrate my supposed racism or, is your judgement merely based upon your feelings?

Did you not understand from my post that my stance is anti-PC. I thought that point was quite clear.

Btw, I don't care for the politically correct and their attempt at shaming and silencing of anyone not conforming to their typically sheeple views.

I was talking more of the fact that you managed to somehow turn a discussion of a token one off jumper used by a football team into an attack on the interpretation of aboriginal reconciliation

I'll leave it at that, as nobody really wants to read a full blown argument over race on here (www.reddit.com may be useful)

Reconciliation has already occurred in an official manner. My pointing out an issue with the continued use of such a term isn't racism; and nor have you backed your claim with specifics.
