Am I the only one who is insulted by penriths pink uniform deal.

I am a guy but if I was a woman I would be deeply offended by their thought process.

I it is basically "Those women, so stupid, have no idea about the game but how they they love pretty pink things"

Like the color of the jersey is going to make a difference.

Sexist idiots.

So if the Storm did something like this you wouldn't think it was insulting to our female fans?.

Oh and by the way I do have a life, it is just the lima lima lima duck off-season and there isn't a whole hell of a lot else to talk about.

Forget about it as apparently no one has bothered to read the article.

No, I just think you're overreacting.

I read the article and didn't think anything of it.
From a marketing standpoint, they would no doubt be expecting to sell more of the pink jerseys to the female demographic of their supporter base. Not to say they are the only ones who can or will buy them, but the majority of pink jersey sales are likely to be women.

I don't understand the problem. It's a pink away jumper, better than that yellow thing we wore a number of years ago

Panthers alternate jersey is based purely for kids. Should we feel insulted for them too ?

The Panthers pink away jersey is better than the broncos banana coloured away jersey.

What?

Have a look at European football teams that have away and third strips that have nothing to do with their primary colors. Penrith just happen to have decided on pink.
