The players hate it already too.

What did you see?

The Sun?

The S the G and the sunset/sunrise refracting/reflecting on water all in the one motif.

I haven't heard their explanation of it but that was my immediate interpretation.

Yeah it’s a solid concept.

I don’t think it looks horrendous either. Uninspired, and dated though.

I don't speak wank, does anyone know what they're trying to point out as being noteworthy in these pictures?

The custom NinetySeven typeface, a tribute to the Club’s 1997 premiership, combines traditional hand-painted Australian Rules Football lettering with sharp, angular forms that reflect the crow’s aggressive aesthetic. Designed for scalability and versatility, this font maintains consistency across all media. Paired with the clean, modern Suisse sans-serif, the typography strikes a balance between boldness and clarity, ensuring cohesive communication across every touchpoint.

Its the clear difference points between this and other generic fonts. It may sound like wank, in the same way engineering talk for a building development sounds like wank - but is important for maintaining the structure of the building.

 

[Coopers]

It's worse than I thought

I quite like their logo. But wtf are they doing with the guernseys?

Really?



Where is the "G"? Even the obligatory explainer doesn't show a "G"?



I mean it's so generic, you type in "sunset logo" and you get a tonne of these:



I'm also not enamoured with "Fearless" as a tagline either.

I would have thought "Rise and Shine" would have fit better!!

Oh well, they are going to be in our faces for the next 5 years with Hardwick getting all the help he can from the club owners ... better get used to it I suppose.

 

[Samcro24]

They should have rebranded under the moniker Gerard Healy used for them

That’d be some logo

 

[footy4ever]

Really?

I can see a G. Whether it was meant to be there or not.

Yep it as much of a G as our wings are the state

 

[footy4ever]

So you don't see a g at all?

 

[George Kramer]

So you don't see a g at all?

Sorry didnt mean that, I can see the G if you look for a G, more so than I can see our State

 

[Multiballz]

Looks like a Pinger monogram. Fitting.

 

[hugecannon]

Really?

I can only see S…. Even knowing what I’m supposed to be looking for, I can still only see the S

Yeah, it’s clever. It conveys a lot in one simple design.

Just not overly striking, or footy club-ish.

 

[whattagun07]

Tbh I saw G, C and S
A bit like the Carlton monogram thing but in a different style, and a bit more hidden, but still there.
I see a footy, and a setting sun. But I guess on the GC the sun rises over the water so let's call it a sunrise.
Bold red is good.
There are a few niceties to it, butt I's underwhelming in general imo

 

[flashcrow]

Spot the letter G in 10 seconds.

Ah the old G spot

 

[baldandbroke]

So you don't see a g at all?

Do you see an "O" and a lowercase "e" too?

Come on!!

Anyway - let's leave the Suns alone, they'll probably pants us on-field in 2025 :-(

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Whilst it doesn’t really matter, I think this dumb line of thinking by the club has led to the messiness of the design in the end.

I doubt it. Sounds like some bullshit they came up with after the fact.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Actually don't mind the direction GCS are heading with the away strip... but it still looks like a training guernsey.

Yep

A training jersey for the Parramatta Eels

 

[Greenfinger]

I reckon people are overstating the 'map of SA' talk. It's obviously something the've worked into it, but I don't think it's meant to be a major feature of the logo. Some people are making out that it's supposed to be the defining element, which I don't think was ever the intent - more of just subtle nod to the state (which, honestly, is not that hard to make out).

What WILL be interesting is whether the Tassie Devils incorporate a 'map of Tasmania' into their logo...

I’m wondering if you missed the memo when it was released the logo where that explicitly pointed out the reference to the sa coastline. There was nothing subtle about it

Rather confusingly though, their actual training guernseys look pretty good.

More design in this than the real thing.
