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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
