Why do we call QF "Red Roo" when the roo is white?

A look at Retro Roo II (VH-VXQ) will show that it wasn't always white.

Time we got with the times ... perhaps albino roo?

Since the last revision, I sort a like 'ampu-roo'.

Would it be wrong to suggest after QF social engineering to have gayaroo?

Indeed, a Google search of the Kangaroo symbols show both red on white and white on red logos throughout the QF history:

The 1947 and the 1968 versions are red on white, but the original in 1944 was white on red.

No, because it only has two colours - whereas a chameleon has many

Are you assuming we've seen them all? Maybe more to come ...

And here was me thinking that chameleons changed to match their background
