Opinion The Shield and Ribbon: Updating the Sacred

[Dard Ball Get]

This is an absolute downgrade and an insult to the past champions who demonstrated strength through loyalty.

I wish I could cancel my membership.

Is it the strength, or the loyalty stopping you?

Is he wearing a Nick Watson size (kids size) guernsey. who was the idiot that said "lets put it on a black patch"?

Black patch looks great, reminds me of the patches they would use when putting the logo on old guernseys

May be related to the blind straggler who whipped your shite up on ms paint?

I find the thin black lines on the ribbon over the shield to be annoying, almost looks like an error and not a deliberate choice.

i actually like it.

balck patch makes it stand out against the white. otherwise the white blends in

Didn’t need to change, the old logo was fine. Don’t understand why this had to happen.

All things considered, it’s not bad. Definitely didn’t commit any of the sins that most modern logos suffer from.

I like how the ribbon has a touch of red and black behind it.

Don’t like the shift away from referring to itself as a football club. That aspect of the team must never be forgotten.

Dilena mentioned that broadcasters have been pushing for visually bolder logos because they work better with digital programs, so I'm presuming it was just something we eventually would have to do to keep up with the times.

Says ST KILDA instead of ST KFC

Better than Saint Kilda.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Stop looking at it.

Would've added the ribbon too if my photoshop skills weren't so limited.

It's not horrendous but it's a pointless step backwards. What we had before was better

Was Saint KFC the patron Saint of fried chicken?

Always thought we should just have the colonel holding a bucket in our colours as our mascot.

I've been bloody loyal. Fan since 1993, member since 2000, spent countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars attending games, travelling for finals, sponsored a player for 3 years, was in the Cheer Squad when I lived in Melbourne, member of the Pride Committee, have TWO tattoos including the (now outdated) logo.

Where is the loyalty to me? Every time I have something to say about the direction this club is headed in, the club that I have loved for over half my life, I get abused and belittled by strangers on the internet.

Definite downgrade that the club probably paid some clown six figures to make.

 

[StGradey]

Noticed this on the club store, would much prefer this version of the logo

The internet can be a nasty thing

Unsure why there are now 3 variants. This missing the ribbon and the footy jumpers board posted one with both black sides on the ribbon. Surely there’s a mistake here, why would you have the new logo on everything and then this on shorts? Heat pressed and cheaply made aside it should be the same

 

[Falchoon]

No real issues

I'd just prefer a red outline on the black stripes

ie From the wonder that is Excel

Why are cheer squad types so weird?

Ask not what your club can do for you, but what you can do for your club
