That’s definently a rip-off. Ugh, why would we want to rip off a soccer logo. Yuck

    Whilst I like the crazy eyes from the 80s, I really like the current design, I’m embracing it!

    As a Toffee I despise the one on the left. Don't mind Schwabbys logo. Although I actually just like the MFC monogram

    Those time-travelling Liverpudlian bastards copied us?

    Lol I hate soccer. So, although I liked it at the time, I agree it had to go. Even if the soccer club did approve it.

    I still don’t think our “retro” gear should be restricted to 1988 though.

    Not even close. @praha should have been put on staff at the club for this effort.

    Serious? Absolutely no resemblance. Other than a shield.

    The symbols Catalan flag/Aussie Strars, Cross of St George (which is symbol of the city of Barcelona)/Trident, Soccer Ball/Footy etc, besides which I asked Schwab straight out and he said yes

    Love him, but can’t we have the 1989 logo on retro as well?

    Schwab's might have been better without the trident and southern cross.

    I always thought it would look much better with the Southern across and Trident, nice work.

    So it's a rip-off of both Liverpool AND Barca, even though they each look nothing like each other?

    Similar elements (as admitted by CS) in a totally different design doesn't make it plagiarism. I don't believe ours could remotely be mistaken for theirs.

    Heraldic Tradition I say.

    Meanwhile the Marylebone Cricket Club called. They want their monogram back.

    Spot on.  The Schwabby one always looks like it was designed by a committee and everyone’s ideas needed to be included.  It was cluttered and haphazard.

    FWIW I think our current monogram is great.  It’s simple, effective, stands out and is timeless.

    That was the idea after the cluttered design, we were lucky we didn't get Schwab's original design, that was more cluttered

    I was part of a focis group invited to input on what design we would like to see

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
