Even when there are multiple teams of different sports I can’t think of many city themes other than Pittsburg. 

Not too common but there are some.

off the top of my head…

NY is very Red, White and Blue. Giants, Rangers, Yankees and Knicks.

NSW is always Blue, Qld Red, Vic Navy, SA Red and WA Black and Gold.

Balmain is traditionally black and gold. Easter Suburbs red, white and blue. St G red and white. Sutherland black white and blue. North Sydney red and black. South Sydney green and red (Randwick adopted just the green but are neither strictly South Sydney).

Red for Queensland?   Red? its Maroon (pronounced Marrone of course)

Even super rugby returned to Maroon after dabbling in cherry for a while.

Al Leeds teams like a bit of blue and amber (league, union, football, ice hockey, netball....) ....haven't looked up the pigeon racing or shin kicking teams but I bet they have those colours too

The pronuncuation does vary across the country. Due to their isolation, each penal colony developed slightly different dialects of Australian-English.

Yes...I suspect each set of criminals may have developed their own slang too for things like cigarettes and soap

There was only the one penal colony IMO, New South Wales.  The Vics are proud that Victoria was never one.

No we aren't. There were penal settlements in Victoria, if anything some people here are proud of it. The state cricket team was known as the Bushrangers which were criminals who roamed around the country stealing and robbing from "the rich"

South Australia was the only settlement founded by free settlers, something they never stop talking about

All Bradford teams historically wore the same colours. I don’t know what Park Avenue wear these days but for most of their history (aside from adopting green and white in an effort to be different to City) they wore the same amber, claret, black mix that City and Northern (Bulls) did. Bradford RU’s badge looks like it shares the same broad look.

I can only remember Northern in white shirts with a black and amber hoop around the chest. No sign of claret.

Saw some crowd shots on their Instagram page. I’d be saying somewhere around 400. 

Didn’t see the whole ground however so that may be inaccurate.

Plenty of teams in League 1 would be happy with that attendance.
