So we had inside help?
To some extent. Without wanting to reveal too many details at risk of y'know, my job, I dont work directly for the club but the company I work for works directly in partnership with West Coast and SGIO, and yes, I definitely campaigned internally. I'm not saying I'm the one who made it happen, but I'd like to think I did a very small part.

Before joining the board I was a long time lurker and supporter of the movement.

As much as I love the Royal and gold wings (in either form) the idea of the club ditching navy at this point in time is unrealistic.

Do I dislike our similarity to Richmond and Carlton with the navy and gold combo? Sure, but hey. It's a wings jumper, and I'll take one of them any day of the week over the shit we've just ditched.

At this point in time we're in the honeymoon stage with the navy wings, and I as a supporter of the wings movement am happy with that. It's a great looking jumper. Give it time however and who knows, the club (and the fans) may want another element of our identity reclaimed.

Yeah, there was only like eight years out of our thirty where navy wasnt a main colour.

Embrace the navy. ;)
i would have supported adelaide if i wanted to embrace the navy.
Well they wouldn't be wrong technically. They are our main colours and have been since '95.
Yeah but its not.
Hopefully in 20 years time the return the royal campaign will be successful.

Eh, we will still wear royal in Grand Finals so I wouldn't stress. IMO, navy and gold looks f**king beastly.

Although I do love the royal and peril as well.
im warming up to it but i was hugely disappointed when it was the navy. IMO Royal> Peril>>>>>>>>>>Navy.

I might be unpopular but i like the idea of navy with white shorts more than royal with white shorts.

Without starting a shit fight, lets be honest here....

If it weren't for nostalgic reasons and peril was our main guernsey, we'd probably have about the worst guernsey in the league tbh

It has its place in history but there's no way it actually looks better than these navy beasts

With yellow shorts you might have a point. Peril with white shorts as a clash would be ******* beautiful though.
