AFL grounds are so ugly now

The AAMI logo replaced the Coles logo fwiw. Centre circle hasn't been Toyota since 2019, which itself proved inferior to what was there 20 years earlier imo:

Don’t worry

The near future will be AR glasses where you can design and see the ground/sradium how you like.

Want the grass purple? No problems.
Want to see more trees… just put them in..
If you want the crowd to be Smurfs… will be possible….

Unfortunately won’t change the score…
 
What the AFL should do is paint the club logos of the competing sides on either wings of the ground.

The home club in a H&A game should absolutely be allowed to incorporate some sort of identification in the ground markings, imo.

Even just something small like this would be good:

But of course, if they were to get rid of the centre circle advertising, they'd compensate with something like this:

(well, they're probably going to end up doing that anyway, regardless of what happens with the centre circle)
 
The ugly AAMI in the centre circle replacing the Toyota logo which actually fit and looked cool

The Telstra crap on the arc replacing the iconic 50 meters

Rebel sport in the goal square looks shit as well

It’s sad to see.
Grounds need more hunger jacks and messages on hold signs.

Not to mention the moving electronic signs all the way around the stands.

Makes everything look like the Vegas strip and I’m surprised it got the go-ahead because it must be hugely off-putting for players lining up a set shot.

Guernseys are just as bad.

We oppose player names on the back, yet wave off large commercial advertisements/logos without barely a thought.

The Pies have gone to immense lengths over the years to rightly preserve and protect their black and white heritage, yet sign off on huge red KFC or Emirates blotches with barely a murmur.
 
I'm lucky enough to have seen games at every VFL suburban ground. As a kid it was a magnificent feeling going to a ground and smelling the pies and hot dog stands firing up, seeing your first glimpse of the Reserves in action and then finding a position to perch yourself for the remainder of the day. Grounds today have no character, there's nothing to remember any of them for.

I feel heard.
