It's a trademark rather than copyright, intended as a sign to distinguish one trader from another. Same as Lynx, Puma, etc.

Im sure they own the Wb Taz likeness but you cant own the name of an animal.
GO Catters
Perfect
But one is a human demon and the other is an animal with big jaws.
The cartoon devil is brown, not black, and doesn't really look like the real thing. I accept that the mascot would not be allowed to spin around madly.
They were the Paddle pop Lions at one point too.
I think they should stick with the Tassie Cannibals

There's only one team known for eating their own. You know who I'm talking about.

Don't know the history but I'm going to guess it was before the age of microwaves?
Surely even Port people would laugh at that... someone should facebook Cornes with it...
But what will their jumpers be ...
maybe it depends on what their nickname is. .... The Tassy Copperheads... probably has a snake ... The Tassy Marauders/ Vikings etc probably would emphasise the Tassy island link to the sea.
They should open it up the the Tssy people and let them send in entries... do not ask advertising people.
Perhaps a design of mainly something with a T in the design or the Tasssy map shape merging in a T.. sort of like the swans making use of the opera house. but I hope the market department do not get too involved. They usually come up with something that looks good in the shop and shocking on the ground.
Colours...has to be different yet still work.. Maybe mainly Dark. then some away and clash mainly light .. three or four jumpers ... more product to sell.
Interesting times.
Tassie Two Heads?
If they had common sense (which they don't), stick to the basic footy jumper designs which worked 130 years ago and will work now.
So either a V, stripes, sash (South's original jumper had this), hoops, or the Melbourne/Fitzroy style. It's ridiculously easy.
There's nothing surer than them coming up something absolutely awful.

Thank **** Tassie is finally getting a team should have happened years ago and well before GCS and GWS
On a side note i am already seeing certain clubs fans demand to not have to play in Tassie

One thing that does annoy me is that the Tassie team will get home games against Collingwood / Richmond / Hawthorn etc.
I wonder how many decades will go by before we play all our home games at home. How many will we need to fit into GMHBA before it becomes a reality?

Problem is, it's a win win for these clubs, no different to them playing in Blacktown or Gold Coast.
For the Big4, games against Hobart/GWS/GC are loss makers, they can't get 60k+ to those games at the G, let alone 25k to Marvel (lol). So they're happy to play those games away because it means they get another home game against a bigger club. AFL also likes it, because it promotes tourism and boosts crowds in these growth areas. I'm sure the Tassie gov would have signed a contract with the AFL for a certain # of games involving the big Melb clubs for each season, they'd be fools not to.
Whereas for us, we're close enough that the big clubs have convinced the AFL to move our home games up to the G to give them an extra one for free, all in the name of boosting crowds.
I’m m sure they will include the map of Tassie

And the colour green surely.
Does anyone know why there are no AFL clubs that wear green? Seems odd. I know Freo had a bit of green on their jersey once, but not now.
I agree with Partridge - traditional design, distinctive colour combo.

Tassie had a VFL team called the Devils, not really sure what has changed since, any Warner Brothers trademark would have pre dated that.
