Going to hold fire on this, surely someone at the club has taste

 

[Danger in Texas]

Oof

 

[croweater 41]

Oof

Braden giveth and Braden taketh

 

[Peter Doherty]

Storm20 Said they played it safe, that doesn't look like a safe option to me.

 

[Cromulant]

Yuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[crow2crow]

Oof

deliberately leak get reactions then scrap it when people puke on it

 

[Scorpus]

I find it hard to believe it's real. It doesn't look professionally designed and it doesn't look like something that would pass any sort of community/fan consultation period.

I could see it being one option out of a bunch and a very rough draft, but not a final version

 

[dogs105]

That's disgusting

Logo is awful too

 

[dogs105]

Oof

Yeah, but when has Braden Ingram ever been right about anything...

 

[GreyCrow]

Oof

Get ready for the 'woke goes broke ' crowd

Because it looks more in line with the Indigenous colours than ours

I said German flag but ehh

 

[George CantStandYa]

Our recent alternate logos have all been decent and heaps better than this so it surely can’t be it

Elon Musk will become a Port supporter once it's announced

 

[Shifty Crow]

TBH I don’t give a **** about a logo, let’s win football games

[FR0GGY]

My first reaction it’s a troll logo. Someone taking the leaked info and making the worst possible version of the old logo.

But then I remembered “we are AFC” and the same guys that okayed the seal are probably still the decision makers at the club.

It’s real isn’t it?

[emoji1785]

It matches the description of someone saying they’d seen a sneak peek

 

[Scorpus]

The gather round Crow looks much better

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Oof

goddamn-it, can't these people do anything right?

 

[dogs105]

It's growing on me after first glance. Don't mind it now.

 

[MRB37]

I don't hate the idea of the new logo actually, it just looks a bit sloppy at the moment I think. Might need a bit of re-working still.

 

[baldandbroke]

No way we go from this crow from gather round to that bull-dust leaked monstrosity.

I’m not biting. I take it back.

 

[Disco Fox]

Port THRIVE off of the us against them type stuff..... but lets park that if we must.

He kicked a great goal sure, but his first reaction was to give it to the Port fans, rather than run and thank RT in particular for his ridiculous tap.

Actually he should have gone straight to Murphy, who fired off a lightning handball through traffic. Didn't acknowledge him at all from what I saw.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Right now on our club, I am glass half empty in how I see things in the near term and watching them like a hawk over whether they can get a deal for Cumming over the line on what should have been a slam dunk for us with what we could have offered.

And this is the caveat people leave themselves ....watch it turn

 

[Crow till I die]

And this is the caveat people leave themselves ....watch it turn

again, why cherry pick..what did I say after that sentence? The rest of the post gives context

I hate this. I guess nothing will satisfy everyone.

 

[baldandbroke]

Why would the one leaked image we see of the logo be from some embroidery / print on fabric - and the lowest quality image you could possibly imagine?

Getting less concerned.
