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

    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?

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
