An Adelaide based NRL club is very unlikely to join the NRL any time soon but eventually including the Rams would be essential in establishing a national footprint.
I wanted to change the previous Ram logo to a merino but it turns out that merinos are bloody hard to draw front on; their eyes are very small and spaced apart and the coiff of wool on top lies somewhere between un-intimidating and comical. I went with a side-on view and arranged the wool to fit a circle and match the shape of the iconic ram horn.
From my last post:
Newcastle has the monopoly on red and blue so I settled on mainly red with dark purple; red tying in with South Australia.
There’s some off-white, also used previously, that has been made a bit more prominent in the colour scheme.
I like thin hoops but havn’t been able to use them in this set yet. The style suited the colours well (as in the colours don’t contrast too much, which means a sponsor can go on top without a box ruining the stripes) so they’ve been used here.
Keeping with the thin hoops as a band across the chest and on the sleeves. Off-white comes into play as the main colour, making this a memorable design.
I didn’t really want to use the Super League design as the war is still a touchy subject but it IS the only Adelaide Rams design of significance (silly to use their one-off yellow jersey as an alternate). Lets call it a reminder of something that we hope will never happen again and leave it at that.

wow…u’ve really got some great designs….i like what u’ve done
not bad, you could’ve used yellow in the designs somewhere though as the SA colours are red, blue and gold (yellow) and without the yellow it looks a little too newcastle-ish
