Here is the tassie coat of arms

Seems like a red lion, wheat, branch of hops, some apples and some bird liek creature with thunderbolts.

The Tasmania Hopping Apples.

The two on each side look related, so makes sense.

As a nod to Alexander Pearce - The Tassie Cannibals could work.

Naming a Tasmanian side after koalas makes as much sense as naming a Sydney side after Tasmanian Devils

Tasmania wants to be part of the mainland. Begging for it. That's the whole point of their AFL bid isn't it? Adopting a native animal that is unique to the mainland represents Tasmania finally having something in common with the rest of Australia that it can be proud of.

As an aside, seen many Kangaroos down on Victoria street recently? I can't say I've seen too many wandering around Arden st.

Tasmania Reds

1. Helps to balance out the rest of the nicknames in the AFL as most team nicknames have another team in the AFL that can be grouped in a similar category. This gives them an initial ’rival’ via nickname (Blues), when there club will initially be fairly culture-less and without rivals.

2. The team gets to use a strong marketing colour which also helps to balance out the colours used by other teams (have a quick look at the logos across the AFL and you tend to see a lot of blue), therefore creating greater polarity between teams.

3. Their mascot could still be a Tasmanian Devil, with red as the primary colour of the said mascot. (Red Devils has rolled off the tongue well in the EPL)

The Tasmania Tasmanian Tigers. That way it's clear it has nothing to do with actual Tigers so Richmond can't get upset

Or The Pubes.

No they don't. The only reason Tassie doesn't just float away is because Victoria sucks...

We want to join the AFL to smack mainlanders all 52 weeks of the year, not just summer...

Devils will bite your f###ing hand off and keep you awake all night. Perfect.

Perhaps.

However I was making a joke about about what I thought was originally a racy joke idea. So now I'm unsure.

Anyway who cares if Koala lives in Tasmania or not.
Koalas are cute, like nature, and don't do very much, so that's two things they have in common with Tasmania right there. Or three even.

Devils too much infringement on Demons, sorry.

I just wanna watch Tasmanians flog Australians to be honest

Their NBL side was the Tassie Devils if I remember right. But they are long extinct. I don't know any other major Tasmanian sports sdes.

Maybe they should be THe Tasmanian Beers. I'd take an interest in them.

That was the Hobart Devils.
