Half expecting to see BHP fill that void if it does come about, purely based off them already being a principal partner of the club and being on the women's guernseys.
Fair shout, we’ve seen what they look like on the jumper too given they sponsored the neckline of the jumper during the covid seasons.

I half expect the ghost of SGIO (NRMA) to come back given their push into WA but I doubt it. Would be a good premiership omen though!

That was a scenario I hypothesised in October last year, when the Team Store strangely scrubbed off the HJ’s logo off of the Nic Nat’s Farewell stubby holder. Wouldn’t mind it either!

I personally wouldn't mind if NRMA Insurance would be interested in reconsidering their partnership with the Club post-SGIO, as I noticed they've been trying to make more ground in the local market, such as sponsoring last year's Telethon Call Centre for example.

Edit: Did a couple mock ups as I feel they wouldn't look too out of place as a sponsor. :)

Example 1: What the NRMA Insurance would likely prefer...

Example 2: The more aesthetically appealing option:

My first choice will always be blue shorts. I just think the gold is preferable to white, but understand it's not going to be to everyone's taste :)
Agree on blue - that kit looks magnificent.
 
I reckon gold shorts with the blue strip could look better than white shorts for away games where we don't need the clash jumper. TY24 any chance you could mock it up?
Probably not today but I'll have a look when I get a chance

If you can find it, there used to be a video on Youtube showing the round 18, 1987 clash against Hawthorn, where we debuted the royal blue guernsey while wearing gold shorts. I can't find the video now but I have posted it in the past on BF. It was one of only two times we have worn gold shorts, the other being against Footscray in 1987 while wearing the peril.
 
Yeah was gonna say a couple of blue pin strips, or a blue panel down the sides might look good

We have blue wings guys - the only thing to make yellow is the shorts

A blue pin stripe on the shorts might work, but I'd agree with oak79 and say let's leave the jumper as it is.

No need for a side panel. Wings are enough.
 
Given the RTW thread has been long since locked, I figure this is as good a place as any to acknowledge that it is now 10 whole years since a bunch of internet randoms were offered access into the players' only sanctum of Subi Oval just after the H&A season had ended and given a face-to-face update by Stocksy on the push - and fan poll - to Return the mutha-farking Wings.

Massive shout-out to the young studs in the video below who led the way, along with the late great QS , to get a groundswell of support that resulted in: a) the full-time return of the wings (2016); b) the return of the peril as our clash (2017); and c) the rightful return of our original colours (2018).

Those announcements, as well as following the RTW thread from birth until ultimate success, sit comfortably alongside the 2018 flag as my favourite memories of following this board.

Lest we forget.
