grenade they need to get onto this ASAP.

The social media Saints fans are already hyperventilating over what the club is going to do to our beloved logo. “Don’t you dare f#ck it up!!!” they cry. Next they’ll be threatening to microwave their digital memberships and never go to a game again.

The Saints have said they’re changing it. Said they’re modernising it.

Let’s see it.

The crest would make a fantastic stained glass window.

The 'no-brainer' collab that could become the way of the future

Cult Gold Coast streetwear brand Alfred's Apartment has introduced a new range in partnership with the Suns

www.afl.com.au

This stuff is the future.

My sources tell me the club has already reached out to apparel retailer Peter Jackson and approached Olympian breakdance sensation "Raygun" for some hip streetwear collaboration. Keep your eyes peeled, Saints fans!

Edit: seriously though a collaboration with Obey is surely a no-brainer with our colours. Someone get Carl Dilena Shepard Fairey's contact details, now!

shepard fairy?

the street artist?

hell yeah

New crest is expected to be unveiled in November

They're just going to use AI technology and end up with something like this;

I can't stop staring at it... it's hypnotic...

No news on this as far as I am aware. But the crows new one leaked, and their board has a thread that’s improved it already, and offered up betters options.

Crowd sourcing design (with a set fee and agreed T&Cs for the winner) and then using an agency to refine that for various scenarios might actually be a decent option.

Better not stuff it up!

Hold me, I'm scared

 

[Murraj1966]

I’m not ready for this

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Could it be, a border thiccer than 1px?

 

[gringo2011]

I already hate it.

 

[BrutThough]

They nailed the 150th one so fingers crossed they can repeat that

 

[Spider Eater]

I already hate it.

Needs our name on it somewhere and the "Unveiling of our new crest" text should be in Latin then we are good to go.

I heard the club is really leaning into the angel theme. We are about to become the first catholic AFL club. The players, coaches and staff will need to be baptized or they will be traded or fired. The club has changed direction from bringing in elite Bayside talent, to devoted Catholics! The new extension of the giant mega church is due to start around Christmas. Fans will be able to attend and donate money in the name of the club, I mean father!

But nah I like this move. The beginning of a new era!

 

[True Believer]

I've been searching for a new cult lately........this could be the start of something!!

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

I’m really worried this is going to blow up in the clubs face if they’ve moved too far from the original crest.

Only our club could **** a new logo up.

 

[jwikked]

I don't know about this. There's something nice about having a logo that's been around for a long time. It's classic, making it bolder or look sharper just doesn't seem right.

That, and modern logo design is just about always awful.
The club has to be careful when it makes moves like this, if they make the club look too different it might have a negative affect on the fanbase.
