Our Timeline: West Coast Eagles enter the VFL wearing Blue and Yellow
Altered Timeline: Much earlier, Williamstown Seagulls entered the VFL wearing their standard Blue with Yellow sash jumpers. Due to West Coast planning to wear the same colours as Williamstown, the VFL stepped in and WC had their kits altered to further differentiate from Williamstown's

Entry 1 Sam Hall
"Well Marty really did it this time. In this universe upon his move from Celtic FC "Liverpool" was accidentally written as "Blackpool" on the transfer sheet of one Kenny Dalglish. Blackpool FC, known as "the Tangerines" are now the biggest club in England, having won six First Division titles in ten years. Because of their success and international appeal the colours of tangerine and white are chosen for the newly established "West Coast Eagles"."

Entry 2 BigChippa52
"It was the year 1986 and a new side the West Coast Eagles planned to enter the AFL with a Blue and Yellow color scheme but in this universe, AFL powerhouse Williamstown pushed the AFL to force the Eagles into changing their planned color scheme, the color green was suggested, matching closer to the Philly eagles or the Minnesota north stars, the initial yellow was kept but after research the blue was swapped for a shade of green called victory green, in these colours the eagles would win premierships in 1992, 1994, 2006 and 2018"

"It's 1987 and WA are about to have their state put on the footy map, the West Coast Eagles were founded and had planned to wear a Blue and Yellow jumper to represent the vivid imagery of Western Australia's land, sky and ocean. However, Williamstown who were admitted into the VFL much earlier raised the issue of possible confusion between the two sharing the same colour schemes. The VFL stepped in and informed WC that they'd have to alter their jumper to help better differentiate between the two. With the unveiling day closing in, the WC board made the decision to change the blue to black in reference to the WA state colours."
