What Are Australia’s National Colors?
Australia’s National colors are green and gold - you may have noticed I have just added the colors to this blog - just so you know!
The colors were only adopted in 1984 and do not at all reflect the Australian flag - which is red, white and blue. Instead the colors of the wattle were adopted as reflecting the land. Actually the land is more red than green - the wattle is a common plant in the Australian bush.
Australia’s national sporting teams normally wear the green and gold in their sporting teams including the Australia cricket team (one day cricket), test teams wear white as is required, the Kangaroos (rugby league), the Socceroos (football (soccer)).
South Africa also wear green and gold for Rugby Union too so the Wallabies where a gold jumper with green lettering.
