He looks like he is about to be hit by a train, or Buffy is around the corner.

Nah.

That's one interpretation I guess...

Yes, it's an old design but I think he did well to incorporate it. I also think a version using the 90s demon (from your avatar) would be interesting to see. That was easily my choice of the modern logos.

Cartoon villain about to be hit by the hero's supercharge attack. Keep it simple man, we want kids drawing it on their notebooks.

Well, I guess that logo above would be great for marketing to the kids... stickers for schoolbooks, kids t-shirts, jumpers, beanies etc... but the new logo the club has come up with is ideal for general branding and marketing of the club.

Absolutely brilliant....I love it. I will be there tomorrow, hopefully Ronda is also donning an MFC t-shirt. Forrest is the second UFC fighter who has been photographed in MFC apparel, unfortunately the other was Tito :)

Goodness me it was a slap-together, wrong coloured nonsense of kit back then. I mean check out the shades of red between the Guernsey and polo.

Bloody pathetic in hindsight.

Not to mention that stupid dinky little collar.

Can I please just point out that no matter the colours or logo, the cotton polo will never ever match the polyester jumper.

It is chemically impossible for a synthetic and a natural fabric, let alone when one is woven and one is knitted, to match 100% in colour. Even more so when one is yarn dyed and one is screen printed. Especially vivid colours like red.

Yes you can get it much better than in the above image, but it will never be exactly the same.

Fashion lesson over. Carry on.

At least I can now add chemistry to the list of potential root causes of MFC failure.

That photo is in some dire need of treatment by the Ministry of Truth. There is an unperson ruining it with his nonexistence.

Those collars looked absolutely ridiculous. Add in the colour issues (as already mentioned), the terrible and awkwardly placed emblem (I know, I know, some of you liked it), and the ridiculous stars on the back and it really made for an awful guernsey.

It's quite impressive how badly we managed to stuff up a red V on a navy blue jumper.

This version is much better from someone at BigFooty.

It is better.

Demonland should run a competition about how long this version of the logo will last. How many have there been in the last decade?

It will stick around if we win.

Perception of everything at the club is seen within this lens.

Was just looking at the NAB challenge fixture on FB, scrolling down and there it was....our new logo is embarrassing. It hasn't grown on me and I won't be buying any merchandise with it on it. If it wasn't for the secret launch they could have consulted members/fans. I don't mind the lettering and I get the Melbourne branding but the the whole acorn thing doesn't work on any level.

Each to their own.

i think it looks amazing, especially when placed alongside other logos on the Facebook fixture.

Already bought several pieces of merchandise over Christmas.

Members were consulted in a extensive branding and logo survey I completed in 2014.

I suppose you'll never please everyone.

I do find it surprising that the oldest football club in the world decided not to put the year it was established on the logo. 

I know it's all about projecting forward but something so unique surely warrants inclusion. Maybe it can be subtly added in later.

Right next to the trident.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
