Not impressed with the Lions jersey.
They re trying to breed a Win Culture by using our colours?
I foresee court cases …
@Original Pierre (Comment 11) : sorry not watching the game. What colours are they using if not the traditional white with a red stripe?

Lions are a well-oiled outfit.
Looks like a Sharks strip. Black or possibly dark blue with white stripe …

@JD (Comment 12) : Dark blue with one white loop. Good looking jersey.
The image of Whiteley wearing it is way overexposed. It’s far closer to the colour in the graphic representation.

@Original Pierre (Comment 18) : Its the Lions 125 years game. Navy Blue and white strip. Playing in their original colours
@Mutley (Comment 21) : sound a lot like a copy of the Sharks but if it’s their original colours then it sounds ok.

I really enjoyed this one.
Congrats Mutley, Zibbie, Baylion and all other Lions’ fans. Sadly, I missed most of the game but it’s a great result.
