The issue wouldn’t have occurred with any other side, as the Raiders are the only team that wears that shade of green.
Many Warriors fans took to social media to share their displeasure, including the Instagram page Boomfa Vintage run by Duncan Wood, who tagged the energy drink in his post.
The V social media account replied saying: “Drinking blue [V] today in solidarity. Will look into this V Blue poncho idea”.
The response was signed off stating it came from the “head of V’s marketing department”.
The Herald has reached out to V, an official sponsor of the club, for further comment, along with Suntory Oceania, which produces the drink, while the Warriors have also been approached.
The Warriors went on to win the match 40-6 on the back of a dominant second-half performance and now sit second in the standings after two rounds, one of six NRL teams who are unbeaten so far.
They travel to Newcastle for a clash against the Knights on Saturday, but will be without Kurt Capewell and Chanel Harris-Tavita.
