I would be interested in seeing it, because it doesn't seem right that we'd be doing any MFC branding in that era. More likely the MCC logo would be shown.

There's something for the simplicity of just writing PREMIERS 1900 on the footy without any club branding. On a related note, it looks like a couple of these players have been added via the ancient equivalent of Photoshop.

If Super says there was no logo then im almost certain Ethan is making stuff up. :)

Again, happy to be proven wrong with a link to this proof of his.

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?

You're not alone, nearly everyone I know loved that one. 

I managed to snag the limited edition one they brought out in 2020 during COVID as a tribute. Prized possession.

I've always been scared to get special jumpers signed. I'm one of those terrible adult males that still likes wearing them to games and is worried about having to wash it if it ever got dirty..

That is really cool though!

I think I prefer this. No matter who we play. 👹

I do believe that this whole problem is fixed by having a different logo depending on who we play.

Why cant we have both?I'd like the traditional (current)MFC logoon the right breast and the Flaming demon (or similar) on the left. Sponsors logos can go beneath them in a balanced layout.

Retain the tradition and appeal to the next generation.

I have always thought that the Carlton logo CFC in the middle of the jumper has always made players look more solid and balanced so would be pleased to see the MFC in the middle of the jumper.

Here’s one you might not have seen. It’s from a book, The Story of the Melbourne Football Club 1858-1958.

Well I’d show you if the upload was working properly. It has failed 8 times… gives error -200.

Trying again…

Nope… Sorry, an unknown server error occurred when uploading this file.

At last!

current one is excellent

schwab's monstrosity was horrific

The Maroon years!  I'm sure Schwab was a closet Fitzroy supporter.

Almost that whole era (2008 - 2013) of scarves went in the bin alongside Cam's white board.

Can we please have a tedious back and forth about the difference between a logo and an emblem? Approx. 70 pages worth. 

Thanks

I think anyone coming up with a logo is doing us a real disservice considering 'emblem' is mentioned multiple times in our song. 

The emblem, in this case, being the Grand Old Flag.  (I think you knew that!  )

Which was the Stars and Stripes, but I think you knew that.

Not until I saw it on The Simpsons one night.

Does anyone know what is going on with the Club emblem/logo at the moment. It seems there is a push to return to the late 90S/y2k DEMON, which has been dubbed 'flamehead' in recent years. I love it, as I think it is better than the monogram, as it appeals more to the young fans. Not that I think we should do away with the monoegram, I'd like to see us use both.

I noticed that the MFC social pages have all changed their profile pic. Whilst I love the 'flamehead' demon, it could do with a slight spruce up. The main issue was the size it used to come out as when used as a thumbnail. If we were to revert to using it, I'd hope the club could improve this. It also used to just appear on square. Could be possibly use it in the new 'shield' we have for the monogram? not sure of that would look good. In 2010 we looked to modernise the face...the demon came out looking constipated.

Whatever the case, I think the kids love the 'flamehead' and we should continue to use it as a primary or secondary logo. The hats that new era released all sold out. The jumpers sell out every time we release them.

With the help of AI, I knocked this up. I dont know that it's better...but some of the ideas could be foundation:

The original Flame Head with the blue background looks soooooooo much better than whatever we have these days!

I loved the flamehead logo at the time, but I don't think it's timeless. I'm happy to leave it retired.

I love the idea of presenting the demon in some way - probably a vestige of being very against the merger at a very impressionable age. But I think the monogram looks great in lots of different situations. I like that the current logo uses it, but the surrounding shield is a bit underwhelming.

A plainer use of the monogram plus some form of graphically evergreen demon (not necessarily in the same motif, and possibly used completely separately) would be great.

I LOVED the flamehead as a kid growing up.... but when I see it now it reminds me of all the terrible dark days of the MFC... though potentially it got much worse after they changed it to something else.

Flame head came in 95. Two bad years and then used through a period of relative success. The 80s Chinese demon conjures far darker memories.

That looks elite. I hope we wear it multiple times this year. Is this for gather round?

There is definitely a push from the club to use this logo more and it’s been well received by fans, especially younger fans.

I think there is scope to use both logos. I am curious why the socials team have changed all logos on Facebook and Instagram though.
