Thinking outside the square! I don't think they would rotate their logo like this but since they have used the diagonal before, it's a feasible design and an orange/charcoal version would be much nicer than the white version they used for their clash jumper.
Probably been done before, but using the inside of the G to represent the Parliament flagpole on a Canberra Jumper for GWS perhaps?
Home, Away and Clash for Gold Coast. If they want to stick with the general design and idea of a monogram then fine but its needs a fix!

The fact that both GWS and Gold Coast fell into the same trap that Fremantle and Port Adelaide did with such terrible branding and designs is a joke.

What's wrong with having a design unique to the club?

Gold Coast yes, but I really like the Giants image.
Really good logo with a iconic G that could still be around and a symbol in 20 years and the jumper looks like an old fashioned footy kit, minor changes cna be done but I think it'll stand the test of time.

I'm happy for GC to stay with the monogram, but it's a real waste of a good colour palette to not at least try something different. Especially while they're still a young club.
Either way, their design needs work to get it out of that Training kit look.

That monogram looks very Comedy central.
Which suits them, I guess.

Harsh, but fair.
Like the solar flare on the logo!
I actually love how Gold Coast don't have any red in the design for their clash. The blue, yellow and white go together very well and the logo complements it. I know that blue is one of their official colours, but I also like having a club that uses an alternate colour for their clash strip.

I think a darker red would work better for the gold coast. It needs to compliment the yellow and at the moment they're both too bright, thus there is not enough contrast. GWS just has too much going on and orange is a hard colour to make look good. I think sky blue would have looked better but with some effort it is possible to get the orange to work.

Eh, fair enough. Can't please em all.
I hadn't meant for it to be a standalone logo, though I might modify it so it could be one.
Yeah, I had something akin to that in mind...a cleaner version of the "murder of crows" idea they botched in that clash they had a few years ago.the clash jumpers flying crow reminds me of this:
I know one thing...if the design was good, GWS fans would be open to orange/sky blue. For one thing, you have the advantage of not dealing with Tennessee Vols fans
(long story with a lot of vitriol and possibly a death threat or two)
Small detail, but I really love the "WFAO" on the back of the guernsey. Nice touch!
Their inability to produce a guernsey with yellow that doesn't look like it's been run through the wash a million and one times is astounding.

Gold Coast Suns concept...
I have tried to create a more traditional looking set for the suns, keeping the design relatively simple and employed the use of all three of the clubs colours, as mentioned in the song. It seems that the club wants to keep it's logo on the jumper, so I made it smaller and moved it to the chest, over the heart. The clash is a simple white-based recolor of the home.

That's a Fitzroy jumper champ
nice concept (looks good), but it's uncomfortably close to the SA State jumper for mine.

Unfortunately I have to agree, the amount of the colours and the placement do look a lot like Fitzroy... Didn't take much notice at the time but see where you're coming from

Port and Freo both have better designs now than they did at first, but they were both pretty interesting. They thought outside the square and I don't think they're embarrassing at all – the cop they've got is pretty bizarre. Of all the potential things both sides could have had in the 90s, they both did well. Port Adelaide still have the same logo and it actually looks better than most 'modern' designs churned out in the 2000s (Cats, Kangas, Hawks). The original Fremantle one was something you could see from a while away and ID, and I think the curved wordmark was cool – especially the chunkier, original 'Dockers' ones.
Suns and Giants have shit jumpers. The Suns have an embarrassing logo and bog average colours, while the Giants logo is smart and bold, it still sits poorly on a boring jumper.
In fact, I'd say their issues are due to them wanting to be too 'footy' and classic. Chevrons were in with Fremantle and Port's rejig, so now almost all variations of it have been taken. The designers had a poor, in fact almost no, imagination. They could have and should have thought outside the square. You just have to look at Gold Coast's clash tops to see how self-consciously 'modern, but different' they want to be.
FWIW I like the yellow Suns strip simply because yellow is so rare but strong in footy.
I think the red and yellow next to one another look really good on a white clash well. In fact, Gold Coast's Indigenous Round jumper looks good to me because of the white 'collar' look. They need to ditch the sky and yellow, totally pointless having completely different colours on a clash. They don't even have the token sky blue strip on the socks anymore!

Good summary.
Freo and Port had interesting designs that were a bit left field, but both looked good and very individual IMO. Part of me still prefers the anchor jumper actually.
GC and GWS both have terrible jumpers.
The main problem with the GC one is that hideous logo, but it's also a bit weird that the "team with the red, gold and blue" doesn't have any blue on their jumper. Also it has training jumper written all over it, very lazy work. I think a St Kilda style tri panel would be a good direction to go with red as the main colour, yellow as the centre panel and blue as the right panel (aerial view of Surfer's Paradise).
The GWS jumper is just a dog's breakfast with a dark front and light back that don't even match up properly. The charcoal side panels looks so out of place, especially on the left where the G logo is. But at least the logo and colours are strong so they've got a good foundation to build a new design around, maybe make the orange a shade or two deeper too.
