I'm more concerned that things from the 90s are now considered "retro".

I saw one of these at Family Day, asked the guy where he got it from and ordered the next day! https://www.redbubble.com/people/4boat/works/10232747-robbie-flower-melbourne-for-dark-blue-shirts-o

The old man brought me this flag the year before I was born, bringing it Sun so my 5yr old can have a swing with it.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
