Penrith Panthers

The home of the black, rust, teal green and white Penrith Panthers.

In 1967, the Penrith Panthers made it - being accepted along with Cronulla-Sutherland, into the Sydney 1st Division Premiership.

As late as 1966 Penrith had played in the 2nd Division wearing blue and white. But on elevation to the top grade they found that Cronulla-Sutherland had already registered blue, white and black. As well, Newtown was playing in royal blue and there was the well-known blue and white strip of Canterbury. So a decision was made to change the colours to brown and white.

The Panther had been chosen as the Penrith emblem in 1964 after a public competition won by a graphic artist from Emu Plains named Deidre Copeland.
