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.

Oh yeah that was probably the worst ever

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.

I think there's room for both. The staid monogram for formal stuff and the stylised Demon for other marketing opportunities.

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. 

Is this what we are talking about?

Yep that’s the one… we could revamp it a bit but I love that one

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

Never liked that 90’s emblem…

These 2 were heaps better

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 regret not getting a 'give 'em hell' shirt
saw a fella in a run for one the other night and got annoyed again

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.
