Nervous for this one
Agree on this. Our current one is so timeless.
Looks like the shield shape is staying. Wouldn't mind if the 150 "ribbon" design is used. I think it will be a subtle change to possibly simplify the logo at most.

It's the SFgiant one which is kept the same but dragged into the digital age or it's Bad. No in-between.

Club getting roasted on socials, especially about the "extensive consultation" line.
If they've screwed with it too much, I might have to run for the board myself to put a halt to this garbage

Not a new crest, just an updated crest. Good start.
No, wait, they've said new crest in the image. Terrible start.
I'm confused. The worst start.

Is there a reason they used KFC instead of Kilda?

St.K = St Kilda
FC = Football Club
I assume you got that obviously, and the question is why they went with the initials over the name? If so, I reckon it was to distinguish from other St Kilda sports clubs at the time. Obviously being the only professional sporting comp that grew from a suburban Melbourne comp to the national comp, nowadays St Kilda in the AFL are the first club from the suburb that just about anyone would think of. At the time they first introduced the crest though, whenever that was, it was probably more important to denote that it was for the football club than it would be now. I’d say nowadays they wouldn’t need to do that anymore other than to uphold tradition, so perhaps there’s a chance that they do change it to say St. Kilda.

Kilda Football Club. We predate the chicken people by about 70 years

Yeah obviously, but the chicken brand has taken over, wouldn't be a bad idea to go Kilda

I would say it should be a priority to get "St Kilda" on there. "FC" totally optional.
Chicken, school girls and St Kilda probably not a great mix.

Yep. There really aren't too many untouchable type logos in the AFL IMO, but the St Kilda one just needs to be exactly what SFGiant did.

So naturally they’ll rooster it up.
St.Kilda should follow the Geelong method of two logos, a historical logo which keeps the traditions going, and a secondary logo which can be used on all promotions. Don't destroy the links to the past, use them as motivation for the future.

I see no need to change. Timeless logo.
To justify the change, it better be good or it'll get panned.

These fonts had better not have anything to do with the official new logo otherwise I'll be disgusted. Moving from the timeless Futura to something akin to early 1980 low budget Sci-Fi would be up there with other classic St Kilda moves such as appointing Trout as our list manager, moving to Seaford, and extending Alan Richardson's contract. I don't see how you could modernise something so timeless without fatally dating it. Hoping to be wrong, preparing to be right.
