    Footy clubs that are known as 'the bulldogs' or wear the red, white and blue

    Always had a curiosity about country or suburban clubs that are either known as the bulldogs or wear the red, white and blue. For example:

    South Fremantle
    Central districts
    Tatura
    Mornington
    East Sydney
    Point Cook

    What others can you come up with?

    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I will broaden the subject and go for Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL. Unfortunately only blue and white.

    Nope, fortunately. I wouldn't want to be tied with them in any way, shape or form!

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

    University of Georgia (Bulldogs - College Football/Basketball etc).

    Down the road from my work is a team called the 'Cockburn Lakes Warriors' and they where the tri-colour. Not sure what grade of the Ammos they play in though.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    We were directly respectful msible for that - via Granty!

    Another one was Central District in SA. I believe we donated their first set of jumpers in the last 1950’s. Two clubs I tend to keep an eye on.

    In our league (West Gippsland) there are 2 Bulldogs teams that wear red, white and blue due to league changes over the years - Bunyip and Phillip Island. Surely a rare situation.

    Extremely rare i'd imagine Axeman. What alternative jumpers are worn when they play each other? And does both sets of supporters shout 'Go dogs'?

    Webby, that's a great tale. "Daylesford Dogs"; i think David Bowie wrote a song about them.
