KooGa Rugby launched their new Wallabies on Australia Day 2010, with help from current Wallabies Matt Giteau, Benn Robinson, and Berrick Barnes.There have been a few exceptions in order to avoid colour clashes with opposing teams.While the new colour scheme on the KooGa sticks with the green and gold tradition, which began in 1929, that is where the similarities to those historic end.. After the first World War Queensland took a break and Australia was solely represented by New South Wales in tests. When the Wallabies played that first ever series their jersey was actually blue or red, and had a predominant coat of arms.In this edition of the , KooGa have retained the traditional Wallabies green and gold, although the green is a little less prevalent in this edition. In doing so KooGa started contributing to a NBA history dating back to 1899 when Australia played their first series in 1899. For example in 1933 Australia reverted to blue to play the Springboks, and white with a little green and gold to play the All Blacks in 1938. As Australian CEO said at the launch, "Obviously the Wallabies jumper of that era is a far cry from where we are today with state-of-the-art, body-hugging, temperature controlling apparel, but the Wallaby Gold remains consistent". When they combined again in 1929 Australia was finally represented using its current colours, green and gold.
