Very poor. Undermines the simplicity of the Blues kit
Ha ha, you know what I mean. All they have to do is wear a slightly different home jumper ( one that was their only jumper for fifteen years!), that looks great and would make a better contrast with StKilda, Essendon and Carlton away games (emphasise a colour that the opposition don't have, that is royal blue) and it looks like a Melbourne Demons jumper!
The inverse solution. The obvious go-to for clash resolution. I almost feel like it should be a League-wide edict - "thou shalt invert thy strip in the first instance, and you can take things from there if it doesn't work."
Needs to be more royal. But otherwise, yeah.
I like that shield. Much better than their new generic one.
Shield, maybe. What's on it, nooooooooooo
The other 30 people who contributed an element also really like it.
Just get rid of the writing and it's fine.
And the southern cross and the football. Then give it a major clean up, using the new monogram, centering the fork thing and completely remodelling the wordmark. Then it would be acceptable.
Eh it's still better than the new one.
Their old logo had the Aussie flag on the right, hanging properly from the flag. They had to change it - vexilology says that the national flag has to be one the left and flying left to right.
Something like this?
Yeh I think they could make a good Guernsey like that.
Agreed.. starting to nullify some of the whinging that we never want to wear it...love seeing it
I always imagined them to be on poles, which meant I felt the Australian flag should be flying right to left. The old logo had it on the wrong side; to me this one looks like they've hung the flag off the pole by the wrong end
Yeah that's how i think it should be it would look the least wrong out of flying it on the left. The old logo was a bit off by having the magpie tail feathers cover up the union jack as well. Could always just remove the Australian flag all together though, but that would be a massive shitstorm.I always imagined them to be on poles, which meant I felt the Australian flag should be flying right to left.

This is what I figured was "behind the scenes" of the logo, and why the flag should be flying the other way (substituting Greece for Collingwood of course)
The national flag is meant to be on the left when flown, it's an order of precedence thing.
O yep, but they indicate the flag pole would be attached to the wrong end of the flag. Surely they know that. They should switch it to match the badge above
Yeah if they are going to keep it so that the flag looks like it is flying then they really need to change it so it flies correctly from a pole otherwise they should just switch to flat flags or get rid of it all together and just have 2 black and white flags.
One of the reasons that Collingwood has the Aussie flag in its logo could be that their original colours were red white and blue when they were known as Britannia?? Someone may have a better grasp of the history than me??
