Description

The title reads 'Colour blind'. Below an 'S' for 'Stags'' which carries its belongings in a bundle on a stick, weeps as an arm representing 'Otago' points imperiously. Text below reads 'MAROONed. The Highlanders strip away Southland's representative colour from the away strip.' A second version has the text read 'MAROONed. The Highlanders strip away Southland's representative colour.' Context: The Highlanders new strip moves away from the traditional colours of blue and gold with a splash of maroon to a new playing strip believed to be predominantly green, with dark blue and white also included. The decision to have new colours is to underline the fact that the Highlanders are not an Otago, Southland or North Otago team. The Stags colours are largely maroon and they mourn for the loss of a bit of maroon in the Highlanders new colours. There is a play on the word 'maroon' as a colour and the feeling that Southland is being 'marooned' as in 'abandoned.'
