Was just watching before the bounce on fox and they were talking about Stynes and Billy said one thing he wanted to do was bring back the demon and do away with melbourne fc?

How does everyone feel about it?

Although i came to accept melbourne fc i think i would welcome back the demon logo with open arms and be known as the demons!

Well, I still thinks it's a storm in a teacup, but people do really seem to be pretty attached to the Demon.

That said - the basic insignia of red and blue is much more visable and recognizable, more easily included in any marketing campaign, and easier to include in packaging designs on merchandise. It's also possible to put slogans across the red and blue background for a bold effect.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still wearing my old gear (right now actually - that's a warm jumper they make) with the demon logo on it, and I love it. I'm also very attached to the title 'Demons' with all it's history - does anyone thing the Hawthorn coach cae out one day and said 'play like hawks', or Collingwood were called the Magpies for any reason other than it was the only black and white thing they could think of?

BUT - the demon logo is too complicated, with pieces, and faces, and stylisations. It simply doesn't do the job as a logo being immediately recognisable with instant impact.

Never lose the Demons from our heritage, damn right. But the simpler logo works for me, and I think it would be a waste to go through the process of yet another rebranding.

Good.

I'm not sure who passed the MelbourneFC concept but taking the most image most easy to identify with the Melbourne Footy Club away and replacing it with a bland no soul MelbourneFC was kidding themselves.

DD, I agree with you. I have grown to like the MELBOURNEfc logo which is largely the blue with red v, the strongest image of our team - look how a demon image is so much less effective in the alternative strip (both current and past).. And we are also the demons! Look at the filth. They will not give up the b&w vert stripes for anything, but continue to be the maggies.

I have no problem with the club being Melbourne fc.. but the 'marketing ' is teh DEmon... thats what has to be pushed.. We are teh MFC who are the DEMONS !!The monicker Demosn at least instills some backbone, some ferocity..some.."something"... Melbourne fc just seems like a toffs smoking club really by comparison !!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
