Love the guernseys. Love the colours. Simplistic design, not overly engineered (see Port and Freo's first efforts).

I really like the colours.
And the design

Not dissing the colours etc. One of the guernseys looks really good and is better than the Suns effort IMO.

Western Sydney Giants would've sounded better.

Perhaps this "Greater" is the part that extends all the way to Canberra.
It's all the SANFL's fault.

Missed opportunity.

Shoulda gone with something truly representative of Western Sydney...

G-Dub Gangstaz

Glock-9 mascot.

And 'Nuthin But a G Thang' for the club song.

It's like this 'n' like that 'n' like this and uh
It's like that 'n' like this 'n' like that and uh
It's like this! And who gives a **** about Crows
So just chill... til the next Izzy goal!

Being Western Sydney the Loan Sharks would be more appropriate.

Why wouldn't they use sky blue as a main colour, surely more people in NSW would identify with it being the colour of the League Origin Team, Waratahs, Sydney FC, NSW cricket etc. Surely it would've been more recognisable in that market?

They should have been called the West Sydney Jihad. They could be called the Camels and the cheerleaders would all have to wear the Burqa.
