    looks like the outsourced the design to a 9 year old

    Gonna let that slide and the first shot at a rivalry with a new team ;) Did you honestly think that the jumper would be anything different?  

    I just signed up as a foundation member for the 6 members of my family. The order number was approximately #13700 I think. Most of the people on the AFL facebook site that supports the team and stadium are buying between 2-4 memberships.  Its possible that there are 25k-30k foundation members signed up for this team inside of 35 minutes. Sure it's not a full membership for games etc, but if it says anything about a team and stadium and interest in a Tasmanian team. 

    Edit: as of 8pm, the foundation member order numbers are over 19k. Given each have multiple memberships, there is a chance of 40k - 50k members signing up tonight.

    friend's response - why does their logo look like a hairy fish?

    Keep trolling, you might get someone who actually finds you amusing.

    Liking the nod to tradition in the guernsey, the traditional State footy colours and the 'Devils' moniker 👍

    It's named after the animal.  Not the religious devil.

    and why do you think it was named a devil?

    hint: not because it was cute and cuddly

    Is there a clash/away variant of the jumper?

    yep, they haven't announced them but not sure how many teams the green will clash with, it's more a dark and light strip I suspect.

    It would clash with our navy jumper at night. Would need either a red on green variation or a light green variation.

    Could be mainly yellow with red and green, or white with the other 3 colors, thinking of the Jackjumpers, and thats how they have gone.

    I agree the green would clash with MFC, Carlton and possibly a few others

    If I was picking the colour of a football jumper, the last colour I would pick is......green.

    Why? It matches the grass .

    I would pick the colour(s) that make it easiest to spot a teammate...not the hardest.Did they consult an optometrist ?

    Maybe fluro.? Maybe a bridge too far .

    Makes no difference.  There are two devils.  The religious one and the animal one.  Tasmania has chosen the animal.  This will be my final comment.

    Surely the jumper they were wearing today is a joke? The colours, a map of tassie and that “T”. Any design, any design and colours.. and they went with that?

    Please oh Please let the marketers get ahead of the game and have the Dees and Devils play during Dark Mofo every year. 

    Red lighting around the ground, fire 🔥, make it absolute spectacle 

     

    Would be EPIC

    They’ve just cracked 50,000 members within 3 hours of being announced! Their stated goal was 40,000 by October.

    A proper football state finally getting their own team. So much better for the competition than soulless franchises like GWS and GC. I wish them well.

    I'm all for Tasmania having a team .Good numbers but they are $10 memberships.

    I think they will be a great addition to the comp and probably be about of peoples "2nd" team. That jumper though is seriously rubbish . Giants showed how you can create a modern jumper that will hold up for decades to come. Logo looks good

    I would have liked a full rebrand and kept that jumper and name for state football history but if this is what they think will work then go for it.

    exactly

    i don't mind the logo personally, nor the name particularly (although the lack of n is just odd)

    but the state jumper? should've been a no-no

    60k as of 45 min ago.

    I’m hearing that the jumper is a foundation jumper, so those who don’t like the designs ,it might change.

    Agree they are not actual memberships, but it’s indicative of the support this team will have.

    Btw GWS and GC will get the rub of the green this season, both already 2-0. The AFL must be salivating at the idea of their 2 experimental clubs to be contenders in September.

    27 years? Wasn’t that when port came into the comp?

    GWS and GC were around 2010?

    point is still valid tho I guess!

    I'm delighted that Tassy have an AFL team.

    However, the guernsey is a shocker. The final designs will be different, surely.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • 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.
