Letter from the President: Brand research project​

President Dave Barham provides an update on the club's brand research project.
By essendonfc.com.au - 1 hr ago

To all our Fans and Members,

The Essendon Football Club has a proud history as one of the oldest clubs in the AFL and we have a strong recognisable brand.

We are conducting a preliminary research project which centres around the Essendon brand and its elements.

The research project is in its early phase. Members and supporters have been and will continue to be canvassed as part of this process, in addition to the engagement of multiple Essendon Football Club stakeholders.

We have a proud history of more than 150 years and a deep connection to our members and supporters. This is and will always be respected and embraced.

There is no immediate action to change the club logo or any elements of the club brand. This is a longer-term project with significant work to be completed.

We proudly recognise that our future legacy begins with our proud history.

We will always be called the Bombers.

- Dave Barham

Only you could pick up that detail
When Sydney updated their logo last time I'm pretty sure people saw it on like the uniform manufacturers website before it was announced, then it turned up in some graphics stuff from the club like that before it was properly unveiled. Ever since I am like 👀 👀 🤔 Mostly we've been using that cartoon plane from the 1980s for stuff so this is different. 🤷‍♀️ Don't know if it means anything.

I'm going to have to keep an eye out. Wouldn't mind seeing a more detailed version of that plane
 
I know from a merch perspective I prefer when it says "Bombers", not "Essendon"
It's more "inclusive" for a logo to say Bombers, in the sense that many who live in Melbourne, and most of supporters interstate, would have no emotional connection to Essendon the place.

Where you stand on that issue boils down to what your answer out of the two words when asked what team you support.
I haven't been to Melbourne since 1984. I'm good with branding as Essendon. Tbh, I wouldn't mind a little sash underneath that says Same Olds.
 
It wont be long.
No Red (redskins)
No Black (henrietta LaWhinga)
No Bombers (They don't drop lollies)
Can't wait to see what the PC clowns will come up with for our new image , color and logo.

From the President letter regarding 150 years anniversary:
Look out for the unveiling of our new commemorative logo which cleverly encompasses elements of all the club’s previous logos throughout our history

Reckon we do a Collingwood, have a commemorative logo for a year then unveil a new one?
