neo_prankster Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I'm sure there's at least one person on these boards that remembers the Brisbane Bears before they merged with Fitzroy to become the Brisbane Lions. But what I'm curious to know is why they had a Koala instead of a bear as their logo? The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 All I can think of is popular misconception, apparently even within Australia. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We always called them koala bears growing up, maybe it's along that line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 They were classified as bears before they were classifies as marsupials. Ursines are not native to Australia. That era of VFL/AFL logos were all caricatures just do what is local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
