With the announcement yesterday that we will be wearing a jersey this year with the 90s/early 2000s demon face, I was keen to get people thoughts on our emblem.

Personally that emblem was my all time favourite and I’d love to bring back the demon in some capacity. I find the current club emblem a bit bland.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

    As an away jumper?

    I’m more referring to the emblem itself and comparing it to our current club emblem.

    I like the jersey though as a clash jumper.

    I like the current emblem. The worst was the dog's breakfast of one we had during Jimmy's time as president.

    100%…. How that got past inspection horrified me at the time and still does. It was embarrassing.

    A bloke I know had that emblem tattooed on his calf.

    To make a bad situation worse, the quality of the artwork was terrible.

    Won't happen but I'd love it if we just readopted that logo. It's the best logo we've ever had and we got rid of it because we didn't want to spook some Chinese sponsors.

    It still looks really modern. It has a a really striking and unique brand compared to our current logo which is fine but fairly boring. Also think a firey demon head is much more attractive to kids than a shield and a monogram.

    The current emblem is far the worst we’ve had, won’t happen but I’d prefer we go back to our retro emblem.

    100% agree

    I agree we should go back to our Demon head emblem, so as to reaffirm that we are the OG when it comes to Demons and Devils.

    I'm not a fan of tattoos but that sounds horrendous. Wasn't the emblem Jimmy's own creation? Given enough room I'm convinced he would have squeezed in a boomerang, an irish flag and a meat pie as well.

    I dunno… I love it as well and just assume most supporters feel the same way. If we make enough noise could we see some sort of reincarnation? Hopefully.

    The most offensive thing about the current one is how inoffensive it is.

    I seem to recall that Cameron Schwab's grubby paw prints were all over it.

    Showing the M as flames was as brilliant as it was logical.

    I’ve been saying this amongst other Dees supporters for years now - far and away the best emblem we’ve ever had 

    Plus retro is very much in vogue these days - I reckon you could reintroduce it with some minor touch ups and it wouldn’t look dated at all 

    Bring back “Give Em Hell” while we’re at it

    That's also the problem with it. Emblems like that go in and out of fashion. What's "retro" one day might look dated the next.

    I love the current emblem as a primary logo. We are MELBOURNE.

    The 90s logo is very....90s. I like it though. I always thought the demon looked a bit like Neil Balme.

    I like the current one most. It has a touch of class , which is aligned with our supporter base 😉.

    That's the logo right there, the best version of the Demon with the pitch fork.

    Collar popped up in red, classic and still in vogue, just change the VFL logo with an AFL one.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
