Outstanding new logo. Looks fantastic. After the debacle that was the new Crows logo this is a great effort.

Haha - apparently the pic I posted above was just a spoof done by someone on BF and the white one is not part of the deal - the yellow one will be their clash.

There's apparently been a leak from the Crows camp.
The Stance, having outlived it's usefulness will be replaced by the Dance.

Initial reactions on Weagles board less than ecstatic...

Our good mate Freight Train made that graphic months ago when rumours first surfaced of the identity update and "leaked" it on social media.

Good on channel 7 for airing it though.

I mean the Eagles new logo is good but it's no 1912 Ports.

Someone should design a clothing item with that on.

AC Milan and Inter Milan are the obvious exception. Some absolute legends have exchanged red for blue and vice-versa. Meazza, Ronaldo, Baggio, Zlatan, Pirlo, Davids, Vieri, Vieira, Seedorf, Crespo, Balotelli.

True, but it's still not standard practice. Some of those names moved between the clubs either before (Vieira) they made there name or once past it (Meazza, Davids) and few were traded directly between the clubs.

If they were still any good the move still came at a cost.

Ronaldo and Zlatan did it via Spain and the Inter supporters gave them both plenty for it. However with Ronaldo it was more laughing at him for his weight, banners like "you left as a rabbit and come back as a pig". Ibra obviously hurt but not loyalty was never his thing.

Baggio came to Inter via Bologna, from memory Baggio never copped anything excessive from the terraces, mainly because Italian coaches did enough to minimise his potential.

Pirlo went to Milan via Brescia, may have played with Baggio while there, unfortunately for Inter, Milan were able to convince Pirlo to play a deeper role and reinvented him. Together with Seeedorf who went straight from Inter they were the ones that hurt Inter fans the most because they went on to win plenty.

Balotelli the less said the better.

Christian Brocchi was another one who managed to piss off Inter fans but more for his comments against the club rather than his ability as a Milan player.

Interestingly a lot of those names you listed also played at Juve as well, which some could argued was a bigger rivalry.

Spot the difference ...

One is a medium-sized bird of prey of the family Accipitridae. The other is a large bird of prey of the family Accipitridae.

Hawks and Eagles are both birds gee mate you might be onto something

That might be the case, but the logo designs haven’t looked anything alike in the past. So it’s clearly not necessary they do.

 

[bomberclifford]

They’re actually quite different. Hawks logo uses flat planar dimension with a stylised head shape to fit a crest, the Eagles logo uses stylised shadows to give a three dimensional effect. Similar to the EPL lion.

FWIW the Eagle is much better. The Hawks logo suffers a bit from the eye and beak being given ‘realistic’ highlights. Makes it feel cartoonish.

One thing is for sure, they’re both better than the Crows raptor head.

This is a flat planer dimensioner, right?

Just merge them already and move them to Tasmania. "The Tassie Accipitridaes" has a nice ring to it.

Play clock violation
wrong number on the o line
movement before the snap

About 50 yards in penalties there meaning it's 4th an 80.

Hail Mary time

This logo (and guernsey) is still their best:

Other than acting as a job finding service for his mates what does this guy actually do?

"The proposed experiment of the AFLX format also points to other priorities at League headquarters."

Good to see that Gilligan has got his priorities right.

 

[Doctor Feel]

AFLX is being received so poorly that I think the delays regarding it are not due to any logistics or other concerns - it's that people don't want it.

too bad, how sad, boohoo
