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.  

Apparently “Sharks” was too offensive and aggressive. Not even joking.

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

    Never forget the Blazers!

    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 heard they were approached but declined. Something about ruining their reputations when  they will soon hit the job market.

    A football team adopt an aggressive moniker ... outrageous for a competive, contact football code!

    The Sharks were good enough for East Freo in the WAFL. 

    According to their logic, MFC should have remained the Fuchsias instead of become the feared Demons and going on a 30+ year reign of 10 Premierships ... no room for aggression in this sport 😁

    I also recall what Ethan is saying about using the sharks. That ridiculous argument was put forward back in the the inception of the suns. Was then, and still is, bewildering to me.

    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

    The D's?

    Are sharks more or less aggressive than lions? Tigers?  Devils? Swooping annoying magpies? Asking for a friend.  Even swans can have their moments of aggression.

    Seeing as more people die of skin cancer each year I think the Suns is the scariest of the team names!

    No issue with the colours, but the jumper design is pox.

    And that stupid looking logo that looks like a lifesaver has been spaghettified by crossing the event horizon of a  black hole. Who was the idjit who approved that? Not even sure they still use it.

    Rebranding: The act of making some people feel better, but actually achieving nothing. 
    Which is how Gold Coast have always operated 

    Every time i see them play they are wearing a different crappy jumper…
     

    Meh….

    Nothing wrong with a rebranding per se. They’ll now have a heritage guernsey to wear. The new logo, if legit, is putrid though, in my opinion.

    I thought it was due to Southport being the Sharks and it alienating the other non-Southport supporters up there? Or was that just about them being Southport and not Gold Coast? I may be getting my wires crossed.

    Sharks is a great name for a footy team, if they knocked it back due to being too aggressive then that tells you all you need to know about the spivs running the league.

    Their home strip looks like a training jumper and there away, looks like West Coasts.

    They should call themselves the Gold Coast Bland

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
