WHILE Brisbane’s new strip has received a thumbs-up from the majority of Broncos fans, where does it sit on the all-time totem pole of Broncos jerseys?

Are diamonds a fan’s best friend?

A LEOPARD never changes it’s spots. But a Bronco? They will change their strips every couple of years.

The Courier-Mail exclusively revealed the new jersey design the Brisbane Broncos will wear into NRL season 2017 — and the feedback from fans on couriermail.com.au has been largely in favour of the new playing strip.

YOU’VE SEEN THE NEW JERSEY, SO TELL US WHAT YOU THINK IN THE POLL BELOW:

The 2017 design from ISC, who have replaced Nike as Brisbane’s kit provider, is a tribute to the bold design the Broncos first wore in 1999 and carried into the 2000 grand final win over the Sydney Roosters.

But while it has received a thumbs-up from the majority of Broncos fans, where does it sit on the all-time totem pole of Broncos jerseys?

s it a better look than the original, predominantly yellow jersey King Wally Lewis carried into Brisbane’s debut season in 1988? Do you rate it higher than the “reverse” jersey with maroon on top the Broncos wore in the club’s first premierships in 1992 and 1993?

Do you prefer the times when the Broncos trotted out in teal or the Super League era jerseys Brisbane won two titles in?

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK THE BRONCOS’ TRUE COLOURS ARE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW

Did you like it when Brisbane controversially introduced blue into their playing strips in the early 2000s?

Do you think they should have stuck with the jersey with bars they wore this year.

Or maybe you think diamonds are a fan’s best friend, and rate the, err, unique design of the mid-1990s as the best Broncos jersey of all.
