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?

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

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

    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.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
