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.

 

 
 

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... 😁

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. 


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.  

  • Demonland changed the title to Bye Bye Bombers: Logo Change Considered
 

Maybe they could move to Hobart and adopt the 🍎 logo?

Though 💉 💊 may be a better option. 


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!

Why a koala for the bears? 🤔 


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

It was important to them as a club at that time to ensure the worse possible outcome for every issue, whether big or small. And by God, they succeeded at that, at least.

Everything about them was artificial, fake or pretend, including the supposed wealth of their owner. Koalas fitted right in.

They’re looking to remove the image from their logo, not their nickname

Well I think ‘gliders’ is a far more environmentally appropriate name than ‘bombers’

 

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.

They should update to the  A 10 Warthog.

It is a superior fighter/scrapper.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
