Colours and Logo
The colours, logo and name of the Rams' was officially unveiled at the team launch on 20 March 2007. The inspiration for the name Rams derives from the pioneering past of Western Sydney – in respect to the history of settlers starting Australian sheep and wool industries in Parramatta. The team launch took place at Old Government House, Parramatta – a National Trust location which is also near the Rams' stadium. The NSWRU Chief Executive Officer said of the location; "History is being created in the Australian Rugby Championship and it’s fitting in doing so we pay tribute to our past, Old Government House is Australia’s oldest public building and it provides a strong foundation upon which to launch a new team.". Inaugural head coach Melrose described the name as a strong front for the team. The Rams were the last of three NSW-based teams to be officially launched for the ARC championship. The Rams' team colours consist of orange and blue which mirror the colours of Parramatta City Council.
