I'm picturing more of a "Coat of Arms" like the emblems HT posted.

I don't think it's too far fetched to mention the image of Aussie celebrating - I recall hearing Russel Howcroft talking about how

it is one of the most iconic and recognizable football images of the last 50 years and I tend to agree.

I think he compared it to the footy show logo. A bit like Jerry West on the NBA logo.

recognisable to melbourne supporters, but i can tell you now it means nothing to outsiders. I had a few friends who have seen my membership stickers ask why the hell we had Michael Jordan sillouettes in our membership stickers.

I think this is all a very positive step. I also think this proves without a shadow of a doubt that our marketing dept. have been reaading Land and 'Ology very closely. A thread was started last year on 'Ology which discussed the very topic of our logo and bringing back the demon. The ooverall sentiment was that our supporters wanted something traditional that represented the club and its history. The club have listened. If 'Ology had a search function I would find the Thread. If someone else is interested they may wish to pull it up. We made a lot of reference to having a logo similiar to that of ManU and the need to have it incorporated in a shield of some sort.

Glad you liked the thoughts Schwabby ;)

We have the only Team song that doesn't mention, the name of the club or mascot. May be a new chours. I am a purist however if you want to take our team to bigger markets the team song should mention the team. :rolleyes:

Melbourne The team of the red and the blue

Fremantle We Are The Freo Dockers

Port Adelaide Come on, Port Adelaide aggression

West Coast We're the Eagles

Adelaide We're the mighty Adelaide Crows

Really? You think those songs will attract supporters? We have the best song in the league. No way I'd be changing it.

THE BEST song in the league!!! Really looking forward to this new emblem but NEVER should the song be changed and it wont!

"This heart beats true for the red and blue"!

I am hanging to see this new emblem.....anyone that can help...please dont keep it all to yourself :)!

It is amazing what this football club have done over the last 2-3 years.....Jim, Cam and Chris C are just red and blue through and through and you can see in everything they do and say that they bleed for the club as much as any player on the field.

I am 35 now and never in my time have I felt so connected to the club and so informed on a regular basis by these guys.

I'd suggest that they will release the new emblem around the time of the move to AAMI...wouldn't it be great to smash the pies on Q Bday, move to AAMI and release that new emblem all in the space of a week!!!!!

This fire is burning oh so brightly!!

Go DEES!

Like I said I am a purist, and I love our song. This issue has been raised by a few other supporters I know, that our song does not mention, the name of the club or mascot. The second chorus

Oh, the team played fine in the year Thirty-nine,

We're the Demons that no one can lick, lick, lick

And you'll find us there at the final bell

With the spirit of Twenty-six, six, six.

It is a bit out dated and hardly sung, All I suggested was MAYBE a new chorus in line with a new image.

Found this interesting

I Love the 1920's and the 1930's logo's any one of these incorperated would look fantastic. I really hope when they launch this logo they create a new fashionable and casual line of apparel, simular too jaded's (i think) designs at the start of the year. I am always on the look out for new MFC apparel but the new stuff out is average at best IMO.

Won't get much better if New Balance is the new apparel sponsor. Average apparel at best. It is soemthing that all AFL clubs do realy poorly. I don't like American sports that much, but when it comes to apparel, we should be looking at there stuff. Kills any AFL merchandise. AFL merch is for tacky bogans!!

Thread on 'ology entitled "What becomes of the Demon" - suggest you guys have a look at it. In case you are wondering where this 'emblem' idea came from.

Just because your friends are either bad comedians or ignorant...

It's like not knowing who that is on the footy show logo.

In terms of the coat of arms suggestion, I'm wondering since we are such an old club, have we ever had a motto like St Kilda's 'Fortius Quo Fidelius'?

I think we must.

And I can't conceive the emblem not referencing our many premiership wins also.

I think that is one thing lost on a lot of opposition or neutral supporters - how strong we once were.

If the current administration had any idea at all (which i know they do) they would be harassing..pushing...pleading with New Balance to work with them to come up with some brilliant merchandise. New Balance has not cracked into any of the football markets so i'm sure they are going to be making a major push to position themself as the elite sportswear brand.

The current Reebok range does not make me want to go out and buy anything and if we are going to be the only club with an alliance with NB then they should come up with a range of products not dissimilar to one of our posters efforts a little while ago when they came up with an entire clothing range.

One thing i would love to have is a NB hoodie along the lines of the North Melbourne hoodie with NMFC on the front. I have seen a few of those around town!

Well Demon Jack 16 I am considerably older than 35 and I feel exactly the same. I feel the club is in the best hands in all the years I have followed the red and the blue.

Do we have to look any further than our President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems only yesterday since I thought we were about to turn into the "West Sydney Demons"

I hope I am around to see Jimmy lift the cup on the last saturday in September, 44 years is along time between drinks.

I totally agree. The MFC feels like a real Football club now. Not just the shell of past glories.

This club is building again to make New History, that i hope will span over decades.

Jim Stynes will be remembered in years to come in the same way Norm Smith is.

Here Here and Rightly so. i don't know if its just us on Demonland/Demonolgy that feel more connected too our footy club because of the direction & approach the club has taken, as we discuss every topic and aspect possible. But even if i were not a mad passionate supporter just a follower i think i would still feel more for the club than ever, may even become a more passionate as a result!

Have a look here and here and here.

Btw, links inside those threads point to the old demonland server.

To fix anything like that, click on the link (it will fail) but then change the start of url from http://forums.demonland.com/ to http://demonland.com/forums/

Edit: Hmm. Looks like the link for the final cut images has expired... Jaded, do you have a new link for us ? :)

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
