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?

    Logo looks garbage, might as well have printed it on computer paper.

    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.

    • 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.
