    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

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
