Not as big as Sydney's salary cap either.

Digging into the why
As much as I love the oldschool one I can see it losing its novelty fast. The modern one is still very slick. The old one is nice but very dated.

Another Clayton's vote from an AFL club. I'd be deeply depressed about these if the Eagles one wasn't going the way I wanted it to 
From their site: "So what's it going to be? Our current CFC emblem, or return to our iconic heritage CFC crest that adorned our 'old dark navy blue' guernseys for 70 years, including 11 Premierships"
Yep, totally unbiased right there

We haven't won a premiership since 95, been in a Grand Final since 99, and I don't think we've made prelims since 02/03. The current monogram doesn't have successful memories for us, and it would be good to see the change back to some glory years.

Definitely the old school one for me.
Seeing the two side by side, the current one seems so manufactured and sterile.

I'm feeling that way about the Retro one. Going backwards seems like a stupid idea. The club should be focusing on moving forward with their success, not backwards
I like the current one TBH

Here is the article on the Carlton website. The accompanying image actually makes the old monogram look bad because it isn't "raised"

The full-body images of players wearing the actual heritage jumper on either side of the page tend to balance that out!

who cares they're shit
Voting semantics aside, I have a feeling this actually may not get up.
People that don't really care for sentimentality and heritage are more likely to stick with the modern 'progressive' status quo. It is more legible, 'professional looking' and consistent with the familiar logo brand that adorns people's caps and scarves. If this was proposed with a new logo, or a convincing logo strategy akin to the Yankees, it might sway these people.
Of course most of us here think it should because it is so much more Carlton, but we aren't the demographic here.

Exactly. I'm thinking they should arrive a middle ground between the two - the classic forms with the modern composition and sensibility.

Look, I want to like the change, but I don't know whether the lack of continuity between the logo and the jumper will annoy me.
Imac pls we know that already.

And I hope they're better than my disasters
Right. I've been busy trying to come up with some way that every one can be happy. Didn't work.
I tried making the current monogram bolder as GG said it lacks 'boldness' ....instead I just gave it a bigger arse...
Then I tried combining both logos:
And that's the end of trying to improve the logo. Thank you for painfully reading this.
If moving backwards means going back to winning ways then I don't see that as a bad thing. I'm sure Nottingham Forest would like to go backwards too.

So are they going to return the old style logo as well (150 year logo)?

Also depends on how many people care enough to actively vote for the status quo, rather than just think about it. Optional voting favours those who mobilise better.
