The shadow is meant to imply that the Bulldog jumping out of the logo...
Pretty bad logo though, looks way more NRL than AFL.

And St Kilda, Sydney and Collingwood to go.
Essendon's is ridiculously stale and needs to go.

The Collingwood and Sydney logos are some of the best in the AFL imo.

Reeks of smokescreen.
Remember Richmond last year?
Strict denial of the then new Tigers logo and what happened?
Same is happening now.

First, it was North Melbourne.
Then it was Hawthorn, Melbourne and Richmond.
And now it's Footscray.
Watch the shield be brought back.

Could be, and is probably likely. I think they'll definitely change it, and it will end up pretty similar to the one that's been suggested here. Might be a few changes to it though.
Geelong and Fremantle too!...

I wouldn't exactly call Geelong's and Freo's logos a shield.
I would call Freo's an anchor monogram if that makes sense.

Just for kicks, can someone please, with the font that the new logo's in, photoshop the name Footscray in place of Western?
Cheers.

I like it, though the dog is a bit puppyish.

Really? I'd call it a monogram on a shield!
That Footscray rendering is perfect.
Cheers Bowakawa.
I concede the Fremantle and Geelong are shields.

St Kilda have a nice heritage with their crest. It's not awfully modern looking, with the lines very thin and early 2000s. But it's got some charm and personality, and it's undeniably Saints. The Collingwood one is the same; it's not even that old, but it seems like it. Sydney's is an awesome combination of heritage (the deep V) and modernity (Swan, Opera House).
If ain't broke...
To be honest, the Bulldogs didn't really deny it, let alone vehemently. They acknowledged the rumours without actually saying "yeah, this is the new one." And if anything, they're basically saying that there's going to be a new logo – likely this one. The thing that interests me is the five year plan. Is this five years on field, off field, or both? Is it about finals footy in five, or 'Footscray Football Club' in five?
North are probably going to start demanding that they get more logo prominence because they invented the shield. Just like they invented Friday nights.

Add another leg/paw, dog looks weird with only 2 legs. Change 'since' to 'Est.' and make the dog look a bit more scary/vicious. Changing the name back to Footscray would be amazing aswell.

Just a question, why are clubs reverting back to the shield?
Shields are a classic design element and classic is the "in thing" at the moment.

And I go for the Spurs too.
Anyway, I feel it is better than the current logo but I still think we should be going with this:

Clubs need to stop changing their logos.
I know this is very overused around these parts, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and apart from maybe Adelaide, all the logos are perfectly fine as they are.

It's part of the AFL marketing plan.
They will continue to update and change AFL Intellectual Property for the purposes of increasing revenues through increased merchandise sales.
Works with jumpers, works with logos.
Why do you think almost every jumper changes, even just slightly, every two years?
Sponsors, apparel sponsors, slight changes in design. All of this is planned so people buy more jumpers.
If a team has a great logo, it's going to good for about 10 years.
Then it will change.

I think if the Bulldogs head was turned East and was manipulated to look like part of the shield this could of been one of the best AFL logos.
Since 1883 is straight and does not aline with the angle of the shield?
