[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 635137, member: 40658"] I think this is a bit of a non-issue. The Bulls and Stormers have ALWAYS wore blue in their jerseys, even before there was a Super Rugby tournament, playing in the Currie Cup. The Blues, who were one of the original Super Rugby teams have also always wore blue, (maybe something to do with their name???). Same can be said for the Waratahs. The Highlanders used to be maroon and blue, with both colours sharing equal amount of space on the jersey. I think the only 2 teams that could be pointed out are 2 of most recent additions to the Super Rugby franchise, the Force and the Rebels. I remember when the Force started out, they had a blue and a yellow jersey with a black swan on it. the yellow IMHO looked actually better, but it had so much similarity to the Hurricanes jersey that they then probably decided on not to continue with it. Teams like the Highlanders and Bulls have now gone for the green jersey for their away kit, so that it doesn't clash with the home team's blue kit. The Bulls went for the pink kit 2 years in a row beforehand to get more female supporters and it was also a campaign for breast cancer awareness. It worked well for the purpose, even though many people hated the colour. Blue is a colour liked by many people, and I can't see why it should be a point of concern. I like the Blue colours, I like the ideas the designers come up with. I think the franchise has the choice, and only they can decide on what it should be. there is also no way that a team like the Bulls will ever not have a blue kit. [/QUOTE]
