Hey ChatGPT. This is a story about the Central Coast Mariners putting on a charity day and wearing purple. The team we are playing wears purple. What do you think of this?

The initiative itself is great—aligning with charities that support people affected by domestic and gender-based violence is a meaningful cause. However, the choice of purple as the campaign color raises a potential issue since Perth Glory already wear purple.

Potential Issues:​

1. Visual Confusion: From a branding perspective, it could make it seem like the Mariners are aligning with Perth Glory rather than the cause. Fans might struggle to differentiate which team is showing solidarity versus simply wearing their normal colors.
2. Missed Opportunity for Stronger Identity: If the Mariners are supporting this cause, using a different, distinctive color (e.g., white, teal, or a specific shade of purple that contrasts with Perth’s) might help differentiate the campaign from Perth’s standard look.
3. Messaging Clarity: The statement says both teams are "aligning with the color purple." That may make sense internally, but to an outsider, it might feel like the Mariners are just blending in with Perth rather than making a strong, independent statement.

Possible Solutions:​

• Different Shade: If purple is tied to the cause (as it often is for domestic violence awareness), consider a lighter or distinct shade that won’t be confused with Perth’s standard kit.
• Accent Colors: Mariners could wear a purple ribbon, armband, or a special one-off kit that still contrasts with Perth’s colors instead of going all-in on purple.
• Clear Messaging: If keeping purple, emphasize that it’s about domestic violence awareness, not team colors, ensuring the message isn’t lost.

Overall, the event is a fantastic idea, but a small tweak to the execution (color choice or communication) would help maximize impact and avoid potential confusion.

Even a computer knows more about community relations than Mariners’ staff.
