Yeah I know that. But soon Facebook might encompass it. They may as well.

Very 1986. And not in a good way.

I hope so, the current one is pretty generic and I've always thought the perspective was weird. The 90s one harkens back to their old VFL logo - it seems clubs are finally starting to value some of the heritage there.

I presume thats the jumping Kangaroo one, so hopefully they bring back that jumper in some way shape or form also.
rumoured for a return next year, could we be expecting a new logo to come for next season, or is it too late due to registration, etc?

Didn't you only leave it because at the time it was too 'Kangaroos' and you wanted to be more 'North Melbourne'?

In what way will that jumper be re-introduced?
Realistically, it was outdated and needed to be changed anyway, but that logo had no reference to North Melbourne, so the shifting priorities led to a change in logo to be more modern, but also include the NMFC that needed to become a greater part of the brand.
probably just an away kit, but with the amount of times we've rolled out the clash this year, it might be replaced by the bounding roo.

Yeah the previous logo was pretty poor, and not that great for a sports club where you want to be able to put it on caps and beanies and polo shirts. It had a really corporate look. The one before that was in the generic VFL shield, so it looked like something that was given to them not something they created themselves.
North's big mistake was ditching the bounding roo, which by now would be extremely iconic. I imagine and hope that the new logo will be a shield with the bounding roo inside. Let's also hope that they go down the Melbourne path of simplicity, rather than the Western Bulldog's path of even more stuffed up perspectives and cartoons.

I hope it's a roundel
Roundels are cool and it'd be unique in a league littered with shield logos.

A roundel could be cool.
Or could be a complete **** up.
Something like this one wouldn't be too bad if we were to go down that route.

Greater Gattsby's good ol NM Design avatar was a ripper.

Huge if true. The bounding roo is such a timeless image. Will be interesting to see how they can bring it back while also having it in a modern look, though.

Probably by adding definition rather than being a sillhouette.

Yeah possibly. That looks pretty badass actually!

the old logo was a ripper, moving away from the bounding kanga just baffling
if they do this right, they could have something that is genuinely iconic and ageless
