Rumour CONFIRMED- Gold Coast Suns

[IBleedBrownNGold]

Holy shit that crap song posted ages ago is actually the real song.

lol. Congrats to Freo. They have now lost that unenviable title.

 

[Mr Eagle]

You know... that song actually isn't so bad. Cheesy and derivative, sure, but most club songs are...

 

[Hollow Knight]

Anyway, all this is gonna be an epic faceplant when the Suns trademark gets refused. Otherwise, the AFL is paying a shitload it cant afford to pay to please Phoenix.

I think there is a bit of hope in that post GG. I think the Suns will stay.

I'm surprised they haven't come out and addressed that point. At least say that the trademark wasn't a problem if it isn't.

The font they're using for "Suns" totally doesn't match the GC font.
Someone posted a mock-up on this board where the Suns font was the same as the GC font, and that looked real/good.

 

[Mr Eagle]

And now we have a jockey on screen...?

 

[Northhawker]

The song's actually ok.
Logo and jumpers horrible.
Complete lack of imagination on the home strip

 

[Mr Eagle]

Club website updated with the new logo.

(sorry about the lack of background...)

Pictures?????

So all those months of us sweating and laboring with our guernsey ideas, shit-hot good designs, and all RBK and GCFC could do was add some half-circular wavy thing to the side.

I love the guernseys, will buy one long sleeve one

 

[23hammy23]

Hate and love the logo. Way to much yellow and odd setup but i love how it looks like the rising sun from the Australian Army. The jumpers. Sadly my laptop died. I dont think the song is that bad either.

 

[Gibbsy]

Just watching the viewers drop off as they play the song

[Mr Eagle]

The real problem with the logo is how silly the old GC looks... the rest I can probably live with.

This

The song will be catch with the FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT bit for people so shout out ala yellow and black!
The jumpers and the logo just left me very... underwhelmed

when i saw the sneak peak from behind i was hoping for a few verticle stripes or something... but its just... bland and lame...


When i first started watching there was a gold coast sharks logo on the screen and i thought brilliant!! then i realised it was parton partner or something and was not impressed from then on!

So...

Old GC logo inc. font remains, some new unmatching font added. Suns name with a surf wave on front.

No congruity at all.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Looks WAY better there.

 

[Mr Eagle]

I'm going to make a big call here - that home jumper will be gone within five years. I don't care what they were saying tonight or about any historical precedent like Carlton. That sort of blandness will not survive in a new club.

 

[Docker Clint]

It's a very bland guernsey.

I wonder if some of the cracking designs thought up here were part of the problem "nope, cant use that, someone on the internet will expect cash...".

completely agree, they could almost replace it with the red "away" jumper. At least the wave gives it a bit of character.

Other than the home jumper, everything else passed all my expectations. Although the song is obviously old with some minor adjustments, it still beats the s*** out of about 2 or 3 other teams songs in the comp.
And a few days ago i hated the name "suns", but i dont think its too bad. Way more related to the city than the titans anyway.

the away jumpers look good, the home one is very disappointing. Looks like a training jumper, not a match day one.

Can't believe the song posted ages ago was actually the song. So it was always going to be suns?
Guernsey is pretty meh. Home strip is boring, I thought they wanted it to be sexy. The away/clash is okay but I've seen a lot better on this site. Logo is wierd. The font just doesn't suit. The gc monogram is the same. Have they actually done anything innovative?
