Demon OR Melbournefc..

[Sir Why You Little 35,170]

MELBOURNE DEMONS FOREVER!!!

Being called the Demons was actually one of the reasons WHY I become a Melbourne supporter in the first place way back when I was in Grade Prep (circa 1987?).

I Totally Agree. The Big Red Demon is what we need!!

[Cards13 9,117]

And there is the precedent with Manchester United, the most popular EPL club in China...being the "red devils" doesn't seem to have done them much harm

Was thinking the same thing... Man U are the red devils and they were the most popular club in China well before they picked up the Chinese player too.

Oaklad Raiders are pirates, Tampa Bay Buccaneers are pirates... St Pauli FC in the German 1st division are a skull and cross bones...

What I find intersting is that our moniker would suit more the people associated with the Pies, the so called ferals. The Demon is so far removed from our supposed supporter base when you think about it. But in this day and age there is nothing wrong with it we are just way to snesitivate to any kind of possible offence.

I love the Demons and it should stay. It is about how you continue to attract supporters, winning is the best way...

Except for the top pic the others look as camp as a row of tents, could someone come up with a demon pic that could be used?

You might want to keep in mind the era these were created in.

Todays graphical styles are somewhat removed..lol Ought to be interesting to see its ( Demon) reintroduction.

this is a tough one, i like the concept of just being Melbourne FC and it worked for north to have melbourne in their name with the whole gold coast issue, so it may be useful for us too? but when i'm at or watching the game i still shout GO Dees! so i dont know, and i like the logo. but i think melbournefc is the way to go, and i'll probably still shout GO DEES! just to confuse myself!!!

[do it 4 robbie 1]

No wonder other supporters laugh at us. How could you even consider changing names

Might as well be the Melbourne Roos or Dogs.

DEMONS 4 EVER

[H_T 2,941]

It seems what has led us to this debate, is Paul Gardener taking away the Demon in the first place. Now Jimmy is returning the Demon - as he should - but what's happened is a lack of identity or uncertainty ....which has now led to this.

I'm sure none of the other clubs are debating on doing away of their mascot, ie Hawks, Dogs, Cats, Pies. etc

Bang.

No silver or white in the alternate strip. It's red and blue, those are our colours, that's how it has to be.

I'm actually a bit surprised that keeping the current logo is in front - to me its a complete sell out lacking any soul whatsoever.

Bring back the Demon.

[Yencks 8]

yeah im actually starting to change my mind

after writing all of this, i actually wouldnt mind if the demon was our logo again

[praha 10,451]

Bring back the damn Demon. I originally liked the whole, "Melbournefc" concept, but I've come to hate it. We're the Demons of Melbourne, not the football club of Melbourne.

[Beamer 1]

This logo. Melbourne Demons Football Club.

[Go the Biff 3,211]

This logo. Melbourne Demons Football Club.

That will just about do. With a blue rather than white background perhaps ? White lettering. How are your Paintbrush skills Grimesy ?

We are Melbourne first, Demons second & [censored]-all third.

The Melbourne Fire idea though, would be great for a new franchise. I wonder if that was considered when the Storm & Victory were being named. Helluva lot better than the insipidly named South Dragons.

Why are we trying to hop in bed with china? In reality we will get nothing out of there, and at the moment the way china is stuffing up the olympics.

The name china is now assosiated with smog,brute force and cencoring the media. At the moment china tells the ioc to bend over and the ioc says yes please.

THIS ISNT A COUNTRY TO BE ASSOSIATED WITH.

DEMONS for me, less change and more passion.

[furious d 447]

The club should get to work on a new demon immediately, and the design must be pure evil! I want a demon that will inspire fear. That was Checker's intent when he came up with it. I can't remember a demon logo ever looking in the least bit scary.

It's a new era, a fresh beginning on and off field. If Jimmy can put the evil back in the demon and Bails can get can make us a feared unit on field, supporters will come

[Mousey 47]

I think the reason if steering away from an evil demon design as our logo is kids!

You want kids to be interested in our logo and our name, not scared hahah

I like a cartoon demon that we had a long time ago i think in the ninetys it might of been... i remember as a kid back then thats what attracted me to the club the logo haha

Kids I know love that stuff, walk into any toy store and there's no shortage of "scary" stuff. A scary Demon is more appealing to kids than a blue whatever the hell that is, but Carltank isn't short of supporters.

Spot on. Kids love the Demon.

[Demon Rob 2]

the name has not officially been melbourne demons for a LONG time

Were we ever 'officially' the melbourne demons?

Haven't they always been 'The Melbourne Football Club', nicknamed 'The Demons' (after a set of earlier nicknames) ?

Mixing name and moniker together is a pathetic marketing ploy of new franchises without history.

Appending FC to a football club makes us a soccer club lookalike. We are not ManchesterFC or MelbourneFC soccer club.

Send the non-demons demons the way of the grey away jumper.

And while we are there - return www.demons.com.au to active use. Fantastic website name, pity about the crap setup.

My 8yo daughter got a Melbourne bear this morning for her birthday, and looked at the 2008 scarf it was wearing and said "Good, its the logo I can draw".
