I made an edit on this article due to the (in my opinion) bad colour contrast and brightness (this has been mentioned on another of the Newcastle Knight related templates). I have now checked the template against an accessibility tool and the result returned:
"The W3C recommends a standard of 500 or greater for the color difference and a standard of 125 or greater for color brightness."
For the red of blue:
"Fail: color brightness should be greater than 125 Brightness: 60 Fail: color difference should be greater than 500 Difference: 394"
I am not going to change it now (myself), as I want to discuss the reasons to change the colours. To address the comment of the revert of my initial edit "Undid revision 363839797 by Boy.pockets (talk) Those are not the real colours." (by User:Josh the newcastle fan), I think that there is a rule that they should be the "real colours". I think it is nice when we can choose colours that make sense for the subject, but I don't think it very important. I think Accessability is more important. See this image of a South Sydney template to see how a person with colour blindness might see it (Note, this is not the same case as the Newcastle template, but just illustrates what I am talking about).
I recommend a colour picker tool to choose more suitable colours.
When researching this, I looked at the following articles;

These colors are horrendous. If you do indeed want the template to look like a 13 year old girl's MySpace page, then please use colors that are compliant.
