Is it time to change the Essendon logo?

(Hypothetical question, of course.)

No, it's not going to win us any premierships, and some may say it's merely window-dressing, but I feel it's time the club considered a new logo. Why? Well, the club is no longer a dominant team in terms of membership, and its last four seasons on the field would hardly have inspired a new generation of supporters to get on board. With the rest of the field catching up I feel it's imperative that the club has the initiative to reinvent itself to appeal to more potential members, particularly coming off the end of the Sheedy/Hird era. I'd also like to see the logo appear on the club guernsey - why it doesn't has always been a mystery to me.

On a personal note, I've never liked the current logo. It looks rather amatuerish in my opinion. If anyone has any alternative designs I'd love to see them.

How about the Essendon Chipmunks?

Well, considering where we drafted from this year, and our venerable leader's name, I would be inclined to favour 'The Knights' as a logo... either that or the 'Terrorists'.

Okay, just to clear things up here, I didn't mean changing the name 'Bombers'. I meant changing the design of the logo/crest/badge - whatever you want to call it. I've never liked this design:

OK!! I tried to get the plane flying upwards, but the name NODNESSE didn't sound too great.

We should go back to that caricature Bomber, with the little sneer, I loved that logo, I even got a Tatt of it, the current one is shit.

Edit: This pic is pretty close to the logo I loved.

No. It's awesome. I love it how it is. I hope we don't change it for a long time.

I honestly don't see what's wrong with it.
