MFC logo

Recommended Posts

I'm sorry, Gmax, but part of me wants to keep it purely to teach young Demons that sometimes busy clubs should have busy emblems.

Those 'signatures' are the rules of the game, written by the bloke who founded this game, concurrently with founding this club.

The flame is taking ownership of the city that hosted the Olympics - an ownership some would love us to continue. It is our name...

The southern cross is supposed to be an elegant shout out to the indigenous, the trident is the demons.

You don't have to like it, but know what is going on in there and why others take some level of pride in the clubs achievements, no matter how ancient.

Huh? The Olympics were 60 years ago, heaps of cities have hosted the Olympics, who gives a stuff? The flame is the stupidest part of the logo.

I also don't see how the southern cross represents our indigenous when it is something relevant to all in the southern hemisphere. It too is stupid and should go.

I dont hate the logo for corporate purposes but wouldn't care if it were discarded for the monogram. However for marketing/branding purposes and selling merchandise to kids we should have something with the Demon. The current kids merchandise with the shield looks terrible and lame.

Kids have the merchandise purchased for them more likely.

Certainly the case with my extended family.

Dr we had a flame in the shape of an M in one of our previous logos, Demons are linked to hell/fire etc and Melbourne as a city and the MCG has a link to the olympics so I think it is not the stupidest part of the logo.

I am happy with the logo to be used for corporate functions and letterheads etc, but the most imortant thing we must retain is teh MFC monogram

Received club email today marketing new gear. Wondered if this is our new logo? Has anyone seen it before?

Not sure what to think:

- Much of the new gear is a light grey.

- The Demon looks a bit too 'happy'...would prefer an agro looking demon especially on adult gear.

- Could be my screen colours but some garments look black and grey with not much navy blue and read.

Will wait till I see one in real life but atmo I can't say I like it.

Edit: just noticed the 'V' which looks like a VFL logo...bit more confused now...

That is a retro logo. There have always been a few bits of merchandise that carry that and the old VFL logo. That Demon was used in the 80s.

Thnx paha...I wonder why they brought it back and with all that grey, on adult gear?

To me it just confuses our (i'll use that dreaded 'B' word) 'branding' more than what it already is. Would prefer to see it gone, myself: we no longer play in the VFL and we don't use that blue or that red...it just isn't us...no one under 35 would recognise it...

Looks more like an old USAF WWII bomber crew logo worn on their leather jackets. Since ripped off by outlaw bikers. The outline is like seen on old Grizzly jackets. A step in the right direction. Should be on the back. Edited by america de cali

With licensing, the club will get certain items made through (in our case New Balance) such as jumpers and some polo shirts.

Most items are made for all clubs by other companies who have a license to make the product for all eighteen clubs who get a royalty from sales. The clubs will get some say in what the products look like but most of the time it will be controlled centrally by the AFL who approve designs for all teams.

To me, this jumper looks like something that has been licensed through the AFL.

WOW, what happens if we want to present/market ourselves in a certain way - so the AFL would just ride slip shod all over us...couldn't see Eddie or Kochie putting up with that!!

Each club will have brand guidelines, my point is as long as the product adheres to those guidelines they don't need to be involved in the approval of every single product, the AFL do it on their behalf.

Anything is better than our current logo.

I won't buy any new merchandise with it on it.

If I wanted something with the southern cross on it, I'd get a "f... Off we're full" bumper sticker to put on the bogan ute that I don't have.

Sadly things in society change over time, and the southern cross is more representative of small mindedness disguised as patriotism, than honor of the great country we live in and the constellation that sits above us.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
