The Penrith Panthers in the NRL in Australia were once affectionately known as the ‘Chocolate Solders’ for these, ah hem, uniforms.
Look past the shorts, if you can, to see the very 80s stripes along the shoulders in the always popular colour for sporting uniforms, brown.
It’s no surprise that as soon as the club changed to their now common black strip, did they actually start to win, not melt under the heat of battle as the original nickname insinuated.
