Colours and Logo
The colours, name and logo of the club were unveiled on 21 March 2007. The Spirit's colours were revealed as black and gold - the traditional state colours of Western Australia. RugbyWA board and senior management considered 20 names for the ARC team, with Spirit in the end being the preferred option because it was seen identifiable as Western Australian, and was aligned with the Western Force Super 14 team. The logo of the Spirit was also similar to that of the Force, though it is gold instead of the Force's blue.
Rugby WA said that “Just as Force taps into the natural elements that have shaped WA, the word Spirit is strong, powerful and dynamic, and reflects the independent, open-minded and entrepreneurial way West Aussies approach things”. In addition, “We didn’t choose an animal or plant in the name because we wanted it to reflect a passionate and proudly parochial body of people, West Aussies”. Although the jersey has yet to be revealed, it is known that the Spirit will play in the traditional hoop style.
