Oh dear.
I know they are using the logo. but I don't think it works to well with the logos right on the lines.

At the Sydney v. Perth at Paramatta Stadium there was a group at one end who called themselves Rovers fans. Had homemade flags and banners. Even had chants.Stefan2010-02-19 10:38:10

Think it will be okay.  Just the image doesn't show them up very well.  When embroidered they'll be alright I suspect.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Exactly my thoughts C-Diddy.  In fact I originally looked at it and went, wtf ?  Heart pretending to be the new Carlton, until I spotted the Rovers badge,

How's my driving? - Whine here

Potentially Sydney having another crack at Melbourne?

St Kilda isn't it?

I quite like the crest and the shirts are alright (though effectively the same as the crest).  Though I'm also a bit iffy about having the crest over where those two colours meet.

Maybe it's an attempt to ensnare disenchanted North Sydney Bears fans?

Thanks 2B for putting the image up. Some reason it wouldn't let me...
 
I quite like it, agree the crest doesn't look great as is but this is only a template I believe..

EXCLUSIVE: Sydney Rovers have released their official logo and given us a sneak peek at their prototype tri-colour home and away shirts for when they enter the A-League in 2011.
While Rovers won't kick a ball in the competition for another 18 months, club reps say they are buoyant by the interest shown in the fledgling club.

And they're happy with the look of their franchise as they begin the task of commercialising their brand in the Australian sports market.

"We've been working with Reebok as the official supplier to the A-League," said Ian Rowden today. "These are early days but we like the general direction and the integrity between brand, logo and strip."

The jersey will be unique in the A-League with no other club as yet opting for multi-coloured thick stripes on their shirt. The other new club Melbourne Heart - which enters the competition later this year - are tipped to sport a red and white striped shirt.

"We've been encouraged by the interest and enthusiasm from the government bodies, community at large, sporting associations, clubs, players, schools, media and corporate world," added Rowden.

As for a home ground, Penrith City Council and CUA Stadium have confirmed they are expressing their interest in hosting the Rovers.

Last week the Sydney Morning Herald reported that eight western Sydney councils were bidding to house A-League club-in-waiting.

It also suggested five stadiums had already entered into negotiations, including CUA Stadium, Parramatta Stadium, Sydney Showground, ANZ Stadium and Campbelltown Stadium.

Rovers chairman Ian Rowden told the paper they will embrace the city's west and have been "blown away" by responses so far at community level.

"Nobody has baulked at either the scale or the scope of the commitment required. There's such a strong desire in the west to make this happen.''

He added: "We'll be a western Sydney team and proud of it."

This may be me being extremely stupid, but the home and away shirts look almost identical. The idea of a home and away strip is that they're different colours to avoid a clash. If the authorities sanctioned those strips they'd be incredibly daft. It's a bit like CCM have a yellow and navy home shirt and then a yellow away shirt...

I love the kits and the badge myself, but surely the away kit has to be a different colour.
You know we belong together...

They can do that. Just as long as it doesn't clash.

Its kind of like that in the premier league.
Man U wear different shorts and socks for home and away if the shirts dont clash.

Red and Black just another reason for Wellingtonians to hate them.
