They did a great job in highlighting 'the scorching sun' as this is painful to look at.

 

I can't believe they've done this.

The whole problem was a big corporate logo in the middle of the guernsey looks terrible. It's amateurish - like they never graduated from their Under 18 selves. 

The logo itself was hideous, and they've improved it - arguably not as much as well as they could have - but why keep it on on the jumper?

McDonald's red and yellow aren't great colours to work with, but all colours can work if you go with any of the dozens of traditional Australian rules guernsey designs. Stripes, hoops, a V, a yoke, panels, a sash... there are so many options and variations. The logo is such a bad idea. 

The away strip is right up there with the worst jumper of the last 20 years.

Seriously…

Is that the best they could come up with?

sorry but that is pathetic, it looks far worse than the original design, and that was cheap and nasty

Remember that time when Freo were really [censored] and then some feng shooi expert said it's the jumper, stupid. And so they got a better jumper and are still [censored].

That sun triggered many crowd clashes back in the day of the NSL between Preston and South Melbourne!

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. 

this has got cameron schwab's fingerprints all over it

what an absolute waste of good money

I like the rising sun over water S logo but the colour palette means it's lost against the jumper's red background. Their colours are red yellow and blue, they should have made the top half of the sun yellow and the bottom half blue then it would stand out, be consistent with their colours and more clearly communicate the "rising sun" message.

On the away jumper they could make the top half of the logo red.

You mean like the CFC logo on the Carlton jumper? Is that amateurish?

Monograms often look great. Fitzroy's jumper between 1940 and the early 1970s is probably my favourite footy jumper ever. 

Gold Coast's original logo looked like it was designed in MS Paint for a car leasing company.

I always thought they pinched the old Sports Tonight logo from channel 10.

Don't know if it was Cameron Schwab's finger prints or not, but the branding / logo designers who did this probably got huge bickies for putting together this rubbish.

Are the Suns financially viable on their own yet?  If not, that's the rest of the league teams paying for this waste, both in terms of the branding outlay, plus I can't see it helping their popularity and gaining members with such an uninspiring jumper design.

So you've refuted your own statement that logos in the middle of the guernsey look terrible and we're just discussing execution now?

They somehow managed to make the mundane look supine

Or Tassie Suns?

That'd go a long way to correcting a misguided stereotype.

Tassie Suns - 18 hours a day in summer: 6 in winter 🥶
 

But back to the new jumper - a red “logo” on a red background?  Did they actually pay somebody to do that?  

Edited by monoccular

Without a hint of irony, I don't mind it.

A blue (sea) bottom half would have made it more apt, though.

Valencia 2022-23 Third Kit

could have gone with stripes like this and itd look infinitely better. 

Totally agree biggest, I have no idea why modern footy jumpers have such ridiculous design!! V, sash or vertical/horizontal stripes!! There are plenty of colours to choose from.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
