Alphabet Man Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 the Saints is the best for a traditional logo....ie old and laststhe best graphic modern day logo imo would be the West Coast Eagles twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit 9 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I like Fremantle, very classic ... plus a very cool town Geelong is a close second in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I think all are pretty nice. Obviously, my favourite is Essendon. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrbaseball Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It appears that some Australian teams use clean-line American-style logos, while others opt for the ornate British-style logos. Any reason for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I like Carlton and Collingwood, myself. Traditional, classy crests.Of the more modern logos, the Roos and Swans are my favorites. The Bombers also look pretty good - an example of an airplane design that manages not to look too dated. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

DEAD! Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I know the Bombers logo and AFL logo was designed be an American firm. Carlton I think has been around for a long time, I could be wrong on that. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plattopus Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It appears that some Australian teams use clean-line American-style logos, while others opt for the ornate British-style logos. Any reason for that? Well, back in the 70s and 80s pretty much every team had a similar logo... a 'shield' design with the only difference being what was inside the shield, and the colours. Now, teams have been given free-reign over how to design their logos, so some have chosen to go with traditional logos (British style, coat-of-arms, that kind of thing) whereas others have gone modern American clean-line style. The older clubs (Carlton, Collingwood, St. Kilda) usually opt for traditional logos to embrace their history, but Essendon is an older club with a new logo, so it really depends on the team's tastes.Personally, this is what I think of the logos:Adelaide: The lettering looks out of place, and the crow looks retarded. I don't like their colours either.Brisbane: Gradiant alert!! Also, why did they put the AFL logo in there? They're the only team to do it, and I don't understand why.Carlton: One of my favourites... the roman style is great for such an Italian/Greek team.Collingwood: Pretty good... don't like the use of the Australian flag, like they're claiming that they're "THE Australian team".Essendon: I like the shape, but the plane looks a bit cartoony.Fremantle: Love it... they do things differently in Freo, and I like that. Geelong: Meh... a bit boring.Hawthorn: HATE this one. The hawk looks so ... little wavey lines and plop, doesn't look fierce at all.Kangaroos: Don't really like this one either... and I liked them better with a really deep blue.Melbourne: Don't like the M, don't really like the demon... they could have done so much better with a name like the Demons.Port: Love it... very solid looking, screams toughness to me. Great logo.Richmond: The tiger seems a bit too detailed, but other than that it's not bad. The little ribbon at the bottom seems silly.St. Kilda: Like Geelong, just a bit boring... I like their secondary logo better, with just STK.Sydney: Really good way to incorporate the Opera House and a swan, and the V from the South Melbourne days is great too.West Coast: I think my high school design teacher designed this logo... but I don't like it. The trailing lines seems really cluttered and weird. The beak is fluffed up too.Western Bulldogs: It was better when they had a triangular design... was heaps better than the round one.

NJPrinze Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 At least the Aussie Rules logos are not predominately cartoon like characters used to sell to children in stores. I remember when teams such as the Toronto Raptors and Houston Rockets released probably the two most horrific jerseys ever about 10-years-ago. I wish more teams used basic looking logos that can stand the test of time (exp. Red Wings, Packers, Canadiens, Leafs, Tigers "D") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 if you look at the sydney swans logo, the white around the swan is shaped like the sydney opera house. i dont know if anyone noticed that or not (i did cause im an architecture major lol), but it really ties in the logo to the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilTownMVP Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 For some reason, I love that Hawks one... Dubya's thoughts on "terrorist" nations: "They never stop thinking of new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 if you look at the sydney swans logo, the white around the swan is shaped like the sydney opera house. i dont know if anyone noticed that or not (i did cause im an architecture major lol), but it really ties in the logo to the city i don't think that the swans realise that there aint white swans in Australia- just black ones and yeah the opera house is tied in nicely - have you seen there guernseys??? if not i'll post them.... twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
