Bye Bye Bombers: Logo Change Considered

[Little Goffy 13,417]

It's a bit of an epic effort of manufactured victimhood to turn

'A club is considering making less use of it's mascot image in branded material'

into

'the woke police are coming for everything'.

I mean...

...any questions?

Essendon Pharmaceuticals?

Apt.

This is very, very close to taking out the thread of the year award. Funny as.

[Ethan Tremblay 29,317]

Is this just because the logo looks like it was taken from clip art in the early 90’s?

Inspired Bombers logo change. I'm all for it. Kudos to Dee Viney Intervention.

Loving the nickname suggestions too:

• Essendon Pharmaceuticals (thanks Witches Hat - gut laugh!)
• Essendon Danks (thanks demon 3164 - simply undeniable)
• Essendon Pr*cks (my suggestion)

Whats with all the lame references to drug culture? I don't get it.

The individuals who were party to it  have long been out of the club.

The individuals who were party to it,  are either dead (Bruce Reid), or have long been out of the club.

The word " culture".... most apt.

This is the crux of the matter.. their culture.

The personas...one thing.. the context was the over-riding culture of the club.

Don't implicate Bruce in it. He was a legendary human being. He had nothing to do with it.

As my mate Huw says, you can sum Essendon up in two words . . . cul cha.

Not sure I want to see the mascot for your suggestion.

[daisycutter 28,754]

they could always switch name to the bummers

and have a logo of a graphic designer's representation of james hird's backside

Wokeism so damned insidious makes some people nervous and questioning our norms and beliefs, fortunately not those that have a strong culture and belief system supported by reality and history.

[DEE fence 4,707]

In Kenya  the house keeper and the nanny were always removing the Demons kit from around my son’s crib. They were really disturbed by it, really had to explain that I was not a satanist and going to sacrifice the boy!!!.

Likewise, Bombers kit not popular in the places I’ve worked (Lebanon/Sudan)

I'm not sure what you mean here? Can you elaborate?

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

Though “bomber” can imply someone / something that bombs out.  Like finals.

Nothing?  Was he blind, deaf or mute?  A doctor’s first duty is to his patient, not his paymaster.

Complete with emitting sun light?

As long as what they do annoys Don's fans then I'm OK with it.
