Happy Birthday MWSE. Where's the party at? Pizza anyone? Is Dylan Walker invited?

How cool was that! So the film of the Manly team in stripes is the 1946 team? What is on their badge? Is it a bird?
It wasn’t until January, 1947, that Manly Warringah would adopt the maroon and white as its district colours of the Freshwater Surf Club and the Sea Eagle, often seen at the time on the Sydney coastline, as its emblem

Imagine accepting a new team into the NRL in November for the following year kick-off. It would never happen these days.

Speaking of which, I note that the Asian-looking kid who allegedly called in the copy cat bomb hoax at the school was a NSBH student. He obviously hadn't been confident about the modern history exam.

It can't be 1946 as the maroon and white colours were not adopted until 1947. My understanding is that the first jersey emblem with a sea eagle was 1956. The film on Twitter may be from that year (it may not be first grade). Picture below is the 1956 emblem.

THANK YOU!!!! That helps! Much appreciated
Its a great video, but it seemed to me to be inferring the footage was from 1946. But this seemingly can't be the case. Either way, it is a nice jersey in the video!

I love the minimalism of this jersey. There's not a club name, just the letters MW.
And, of course, there is no sponsor names.
