DEAD! Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 If you thought the Jays logo without the red/maple leaf was unusual, check out this story. Apparently there is some rule about where a country's flag should be! ???http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/09/...3478124344.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinga87 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Also there have been complaints about the Magpie's tail overhanging the flag... indeed if that was fixed the flag being on the right-hand side wouldn't have mattered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 In the circumstances, the change is not all that appropriate because unless both flags are relocated, we will now only see the reverse of the Aussie flag...which for my money does far less for the flag's grandeur than being on the right. The protocols for displaying the flag are fine for a 3D environment, but not for 2D images like this.(and now that I look at it...why does Collingwood's flag have horizontal stripes instead of vertical ones???)

Saintsfan Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Is there a good reason not to turn the Magpie around?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinga87 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I'm sure Eddie "Everywhere" McGuire will come up with something he can brand everything with ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 So its trickier than I first thought! If it were me I would stick both flags at the top so they were poking out from behind the logo, and have them both flying pointing the same direction.

Primal Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 If it were me I'd just get rid of it altogether. Seriously, we're talking about a team based in a suburb of Australia that plays Australian Rules football in the Australian Football League, which is of interest almost exclusively to Australians and gets jack in the way of meaningful coverage outside Australia. Do they think we have a short attention span or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
