A NRL ex player told me “the Gold Coast is a party town. They’ll never do any good.”

For NRL players, Penrith is a party town.

    My guess is that they've finally decided to grow up and go with a more traditional style guernsey just like the Bears, Port and Dockers eventually did. They'll at least look like a football team.

    Umm..  looks like I was wrong. They somehow made it worse. Believe the reveal is this Friday morning so not 100% confirmed.

    Couple of things in that report:

    * It's not 'an oval'; it's a footy, surely!

    * it's not a setting sun; the shimmering bottom half means it's a rising sun, over the Pacific.

    Credibility points deductions.

    Still an amateurly run club, kinda like ourselves when CS released the MFC shield with 20 million things happening in it.

    truly one of the worst pieces of design imaginable

    That alleged new symbol is clearly just an infrared scan of an egg being cooked. Only thing I can't decide is if it is a side view of a poached egg or a top view of a fried egg.

    To reference an ancient egg related public health ad, "This is your football code on marketing."

    At first glance I thought it was an 'S' and wondered what tf 'S' stood for.

    I actually quite like it. Doesn't try too hard. I immediately saw the "rising" sun reflection on the water. Also gives me Commodore 64 vibes lol

    I suppose so but you don't see too many clubs running round with that kind of branding. Eg. Could you imagine Essendon running around with a giant 'B' on all their apparel? Or Collingwood with 'M' etc

    Rather than a rebrand , I'd rather they disband, just in time for Tassie keep it at 18 teams

    I've been saying for a while, one of three things will happen to the Suns - either fold, merge or relocate.  They're simply not viable as they are.  As for the new logo, I reckon the Year 7 Visual Communication Design class at my school could come up with something better.

    I know what you mean - although I think the Giants may have a G on one of their tops? Anyway, looks like they’ve tried to incorporate lots of things into one design. Looks like the logo of a 70s American cable news channel.

    I reckon Collingwood should go with a giant C.

    Always though the "Suns" was such a lame name. They should merge with Southport Sharks, rebrand as the Gold Coast Sharks and use the Sharks guernsey but in red & yellow.

    That would make sense, so obviously it's never going to happen

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
