    My RWB obsession is pretty strong. It's the 3 best colours to combine in human history and is also on our Aussie flag. My NFL team is the Bills who I largely follow for 2 reasons. First being they lost 4 Superbowl's in a row which to me is unfathomable and a reason to show them some love. Second reason is they are Red, White and Blue just like Easts.

    My weekend sports team wear the RWB aswell so I'm at home in the colours. Only issue is my absolute detesting of Glasgow Rangers, who wear a variant of the RWB and my support of Celtic matches my passion for Easts. Whilst they wear green, there is no trace of red to go alongside it like our unwashed neighbours to the south.

    I try to avoid Souffs hate on here as I feel like it was largely a one-way rivalry for a long period of history. We achieved so much more than them between their last 2 comp wins that it was almost a pity party whenever we played them. The early 2000's years was rough and they weren't even on our radar. Ignoring them makes it better aswell, I don't want to sink to their depths of playing a GF twice a year to get one over us out of spite, envy and jealousy. So I can genuinely say up until a few years ago I didn't hate Souffs, they were just another team and I only had passion for the RWB cause. Their most recent iteration of players (barring Cam Murray) however and their clearly dodgy dealings off the field as well as race baiting and blatant cheating has turned them into a scourge for the entire sport and I feel like nearly everyone who doesn't support them hates them.

        I am not obsessed with RWB however i still feel the same today as to the very first time i saw them run onto the field at the old sports ground - proud. Interestingly, they looked more regal and noble in the old jerseys as they came onto the field from the SCG Members back in the days of Louis Neumann, Kevin Junee , Bunny Reilly and Ron Saddler. Other than that my school colours were RWB.

          Geeez! Facebook just put an ad spruiking Souffs on my feed! When I asked for them never to appear, it wanted to know why, but there wasn't an option for 'Friggin' Offensive!'

                [QUOTE=Paddo Colt 61;n975742][QUOTE=Batemans Bay Rooster; I often consider how fortunate we are to have such beautiful colors that go together so well, and such a magnificent jersey. I pity some of the other clubs with their awful farkin mish mash colors and their appalling, totally forgettable jerseys.

                Yep all of those blue and yellow jerseys and now another red and white. Since the RWB is unavailble (Newcastle have had a sneaky go at it) they're all bereft of ideas. The Riff's westie Day Glow colours are the bottom of a deep barrel. Should've stuck with the brown & white, maybe added red - RW& Brown? Close to the RWB - something might've rubbed off.[/QUOTE]

                I really liked the old Penriff jersey with the vertical brown stripes as a kid. Loved Terry Wickey. All those traditional strips were great back in the sixty's and seventy's. They stood for something and 'weren't changed lightly. That Melbourne strip on the weekend was a shocker. Looked like a soccer shirt.
