Entry 1 Sam Hall
"When Melbourne and St Kilda came together to merge it was decided by all power brokers involved that the club should keep some sort of religious nickname and appeal the Victorian Catholic community, thus the "Melbourne Bishops" were born. The Demons kept the "Melbourne Football Club" name with a merging of their red and blue to create the clubs new primary colour, "royal purple". A variation of the St Kilda logo, their rarely used yellow and Maddies match purple and their training facilities and base were the elements the Saints kept for the new club. The guernsey pays tribute to robes used by Catholic priests, purple robes in particular which are used during Lent."

"Heaven and Hell merged, and with all fair mergers trying to keep fans happy both clubs agreed to keep their original names just as Woodville-West Torrens did.
The unholy union of an angel and a demon is a Nephalem.
Thus the Melbourne-St.Kilda Nephilims were born."
Entry 3 1990crow
"St.Kilda Demons (Melbourne and St. Kilda Merger)
St.Kilda tripanel design maintained.
Navy blue and red colours adopted on the front and back with a white centre.
Black shorts, collar and sleeves to maintain connection to St.Kilda colours.
Demons socks to ensure Melbourne identity equalised against the St.Kilda guernsey design.
Using Demons theme song, "Team of the Red, White and Blue"."

"The design pays homage to both Melbourne's and St Kilda's early kits and shares colours from both teams. To decrease risk of alienating one sides supporters, they agreed to literally meet in the middle and rename their amalgamated team to the 'South Yarra Citizens' to encompass everyone between both cities. Red and white from the Flag of Melbourne and from both teams wearing red in their separate kits prior to merging and Navy from Melbourne and a link to Victoria's state colour. Both clubs prior to merging also were sponsored by Tooheys so they stayed on board and the jumper also includes the classic badge under the sponsor albeit it is now the Flag of Melbourne"
