    Outdated and the second is Not even  our real colours. Navy blue more than some royal style is our colours.

    And haven’t we won the 2021 flag with this newer emblem. 

    Let's worry about what happens on the field and matters like this can be addressed when we are 17 flags atop the premiership race. 

    Changing emblems like flags always indicates a lack  of self confidence IMO as the real issue is changing our style out on the ground and winning.

    That makes a greater Football Club with continuity and confidence not tinkering at the edges. 

     

    This has got nothing to do with onfield matters. 
    A Club Emblem/Logo is all about getting young kids on board 

    We have a large void to fill in that respect, which all started back in the mid 60’s when Television started to show Saturday Replays in Prime Time. Sadly this coincided with our fall down the ladder, which meant The MFC were very rarely on and when we were on, it was usually a heavy loss. The result being Kids followed other teams

    It wasn’t cool to be a Melbourne Supporter…

    The problem still exists, we have to grow our Membership and the lifeblood of that is Young Kids 

    So an Emblem that they want to identify with and wear, is very important. 
     

    I don’t mind our current logo, it’s ok, but i do think it is a little bland

    I think a Demon with a Trident is needed with Flames too….!!

    I would love to see a Japanese demon style. Like the one I've just changed my profile picture to.

    no it's not

    a club emblem / logo is about standard and consistent branding to be instantly recognisable and associated with the product as it is

    simple and direct works, and not changing it willynilly all the time too

    the 'demon spirit' stuff has enough frills around it to supposedly be appealing but personally i think the notion of our emblem having any effect whatsoever on our appeal to younger generations is a complete misnomer

    Well that just means we disagree 

    we need to engage the younger generations 

    An Emblem can do that, as long as the product on the field is winning

    I definitely think for new fans, whether they are young kids growing up with footy or adults new to the game for whatever reason; logos, colours, jumpers are all pretty influential.

    If anyone has ever watched a “New to AFL” YouTube video, it’s pretty much the first criteria potential support is based on.

    It would make sense to have a flag somewhere in our emblem. A high flying one. Since that's what our song says.

    This one on merchandise, especially on caps and polo shirts, looks the best. People who don’t even follow the MBL wear the “NY” caps and shirts (NY Yankees) because it’s seen as a brand. We should be attempting to create the same.

    Just saying, that yes the CS logo was a mess, but it did one thing I loved - claiming the Eureka southern cross, which I thought was a brilliant idea as no other club has and I think the cross is an awesome logo and would quite happily claim it for the football club and get it away from the CFMEU, right wing crazies, and anyone else who didn’t understand that it was about a fair go, justice and equality. Anyway soap box broken now, and yes overall it was too messy bar that one good idea.

    Hard to believe a guy with the username "BringBackTheDemon" wants the Demon back I know, but:

    The current logo is a blatant rip off of the Brooklyn Nets and New York Yankees.

    Cameron Schwab's monstrosity was a blatant rip off of Liverpool.

    The Flamehead logo is original and epic. Bring it back full time. 

    I will say the current logo is better than "Demon Spirit" though, so unbelievably cringe. You've stuck with this for years now (why??) yet "Give em Hell" only lasted 1 season and that brought us a premiership and is far better for marketing.

    ‘Blatant rip off’

    What can one do with a logo that some club somewhere hasn’t already done?

    Any logo will be a ‘blatant rip off of something else’ so that shouldn’t be a determining factor at all.

    My point was the late 90s-2000s logo was original which made it awesome.

    Except we pre-date the Yankees and Mets and so does that specific logo (overlapped MFC initials).

    Agreed. That looks so much better on the hats than the full emblem.

    A quick google search and I dont think we pre date the Yankees using the overlapping initials at all, the Yankees first used it in 1909. Happy to be corrected.

    Carlton also introduced the “CFC” initials logo to their jumper in 1909 (was used prior to this, just not on their jumper). I found evidence of us using the MFC initials in 1897. But I do acknowledge that the style of logo is synonymous with the New York teams mentioned. I just think it looks good on our merchandise, and branding is super important.

    Can you link me to where you found us using it in 1897 please? I struggled to find any early emblems for us, interested to see the old ones.

    @Supermercado may be able to shed some light on this!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
