Resource Gold Coast Suns Rebrand

[errant bounce]

Anyway, I'm not a zoomer so my wardrobe isn't exclusively marl hoodies with puffy graphics printed on them, boxy tees with the same, and washed out shapeless jeans but this is actually a very good idea from Gold Coast.

Football here has never even tried to appeal to any sort of 'fashion conscious' demographic even though that 16-30 group is the one probably most keen to drop a heap of money.

The idea of getting adidas to produce your jumper, let alone design a range, is dead in the AFL at the moment. so going a bit lateral and sneaking it in with outside collaborators is a good idea.

Probably helped facilitated by jumpers being anonymously produced these days and any old logo being under the collar.

What's with the opening line in that article?!

'The phone used to ring late on a Friday afternoon. Fifteen Gold Coast players were on the way from Metricon Stadium - time to start preparing 30 burritos.'

And then burritos are never mentioned again.. isn't this a clothes brand and a football club?

Yeah I read that part 10 times to try and make sense of it lol

I would be getting rid of the blue and going with the KCC colour scheme. The current uniform is just far too bright. It looks like vomit no matter what you do with it.

Red, Gold & White is a better way to go.

Totally agree

alfred's apartment had a streetware shop / food spot on alfred street in mermaid beach where they sold really nice burritos. very popular with the players. since moved stores to a bit further down the gc highway, not sure they do burritos anymore

They just did a collab with the Lions too (Alfred's not Gold Coast)

job was already done in 2018.

That one goes hard

 

[cosimo]

Thought I'd have a go at a jumper design today while I was sick and couldn't be bothered doing any work
I borrowed the monogram from cosimo because I think its perfect (hope this is okay cosimo)

Totally OK fargothegreat, looks great! I posted an updated monogram over on the Suns board, here it is if you haven't seen it. I took inspiration from your Guernsey/Utah Jazz for one of them too:

This would’ve looked better than what we got.

I've said before that's basically the Southport design in the red and yellow which is what the club would have looked like if they were introduced as the gold coast sharks instead of the suns. So a better jumper, winning culture, 40 mill per year in revenue from their hotel, restaurant, pokies, better location for a stadium, just a few things the afl missed out on by going it alone and having the players workout in shipping containers for the first 7 years.

Lots of push back for obvious reasons but for stability and commercial reasons I do think they should have gone that way.

Plus wouldn't necessarily have gone with red and yellow.
Could have been black, white and Gold.

Sunrise on 7 runs from 6 to 9. Coincidence

Thats mid morning up here

 

[cannavo]

Can confirm 6am over there = 1pm in Melbourne

Anyway, can't wait to see whose concepts over the years come close to what the Suns will reveal

 

[Mr Eagle]

And I am very very not a morning person, in any city.

 

[Freo16]

I have a strong feeling this is bound to be disappointing but we’ll see

If you move to qld, like i did, you become one!

Think that's only a Gold Coast thing, we don't get up before second breakfast in Brissie

I had a crack at it - the club is just a very difficult combination of 'branding' features.

 

[Saucy]

Just completely rip of the KC Chiefs. Red, Gold & White.

Everything is just too bright.

 

[Heardy_101]

Why are they still persisting with the Gold Coast SUNS line instead of "Suns"?

Just a terrible brand. It's borderline unfixable.
