radar 1,867 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Few things gladden my heart more than seeing them cop a one point beating - or 100. This time it's corporate execs and focus groups looking to disband the "Bombers" moniker. As good as any from the VFL - who does it offend/why? They've always had the whole Airport proximity and WW2 Lancasters etc. I understand its not a great idea to run around Karachi airport decked out in your latest from Napier Street. People have been denied boarding aircraft for wearing (or DONning) BOMBER gear. Next it will be the Magpies, Tigers, Cats, Bulldogs etc because some woke outfit feels it dehumanises birds and mammals. Or those who identify as birds and mammals. How about Saints? And Demons? Hope we show more than one way to skin a cat. 2 2 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,880 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 They’re looking to remove the image from their logo, not their nickname 2 Quote
Engorged Onion 10,226 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 The article that you probably read clearly states its not a name change - it's a visual rebranding. Perhaps change the title of the thread @radar 😍 Also, its not Demon's related... 😁 Quote
Rab D Nesbitt 8,983 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Plenty of sides don't have an image of their nickname or caricature on their badge / logo. Demons, Dockers, Saints and Giants. Gold Coast's doesn't have a sun, lest anyone go blind staring at it and there's no such thing as a Power or a Blue. 2 2 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,369 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 This would be a more suitable logo 1 6 2 Quote
La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 The Bombers current logo is, apparently, the oldest in the AFL with all others having had some sort of change since Essendon last changed theirs in (I think) 1995. I doubt they're seeking my opinion, but if they intend to keep the nickname "Bombers" then they don't need to change their logo. It's actually very good as it is. 1 Quote
monoccular 17,760 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Maybe they could move to Hobart and adopt the 🍎 logo? Though 💉 💊 may be a better option. 1 Quote

Demonstone 23,600 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Looks like plenty of gullible folk have been sucked in by the rage bait article which has served its purpose by attracting lots of clicks and generating the predictable faux outrage. Woke! PC gone mad! 6 1 2 Quote

Rab D Nesbitt 8,983 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 I'm pretty sure that they changed the words to their club song at some point in the 1980's or 90's as I remember one of the lines being... see the Bombers fly whilst you eat your pie Quote

gs77 4,616 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Their logo is rubbish anyway. Doesnt look anything like a bomber. Maybe they can lean into it more and slot in a B2 Spirit - they'd be able to keep the triangular shape and everything. 1 Quote
Deefender 254 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) They should update to the A 10 Warthog. It is a superior fighter/scrapper. Edited June 20, 2023 by deefender Quote
