Opinion Essendon Something

[Howard Moon]

I can see you all smiling right now as you watch, the smile only reminiscing about being a kid brings

 

[CBombers17]

No.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I don't normally get to emotional about things but just ****ing no!

If we change from the Bombers out of some twisted PC then I would be done. I'd be out. I don't say that lightly and maybe I wouldn't follow through but ****. that.

 

[CourtzMajora]

I'm going to figure YT has full episodes, that is my Friday night sorted!

 

[CourtzMajora]

Like, I just can't fathom how anyone can even think that when people hear "Essendon Bombers" they think of innocent people dying from bombs.

Nope.

 

[Blind Turn]

we still reside by an airport, the avaition theme still applies.

OK, the Essendon Avators.

Connotations of the term aviators is generally pretty docile. Bigglies with his flying cap discovering new lands. Not foreboading enough....

We want a scarier flying machine - the red barons?

Getting there...but too evil

but clearly this is our man... twisted but in the end harmless



The Essendon Dastardlys.

where do i sign?

go away mutley you snickering long eared hound.... oh you want a premiership medal?

yeh yeh yeh



beanies replaced by flying goggles.

I want in.

(ill assume everybody is too young to know all this)

For a millisecond there a thought I was looking at the back of The Age with James Dastardly twirling his moustache in a scheming sort of way with his sidekick, Dankly.

The Mutley snicker is the SMS tone on my phone.

I'll join your plan if, instead of just flying goggles, we have the leather flying cap as well. It gets cold outside, I'd like my head to be kept warm too.

 

[Despair]

What a bizarre post. Is that what you really think or think that others think?

Awesome.

 

[Pweter]

I don't have a problem if we change, as long as Arsenal change from The Gunners first.

 

[rawm]

Bombres.

That should do the trick.

Seemed to only work for 1 week...

Oh. I guess you got me.

Well played

Actually, maybe Arsenal have to change from Arsenal first, then change from the Gunners, then I'll consider us changing from the Bombers.

Until then

Arsenal actually used to come from a place called Woolwich, the woolwich arsenal made the weapons for the war... Hence gunners

Their name has history.

We don't need to mention how they muscled in on Tottenhams norf London turf...

 

[carnthedons]

leave it, need this as the themesong instead of the top gun thing though

**** you.

 

[Harlequin]

We are the Bombers

And I support the Bombers

 

[Howard Moon]

Nck names need to be organic anyway, hate these forced names. Giants, suns. Just let them play a while and see what sticks in a few years.

All of the foundation clubs had different nicks to now

 

[Marley10]

Essendon Falcons

But seriously, Bombers is a unique nickname that hardly anyone has. If you say Bombers, everyone knows you're talking about Essendon. Doesn't need a change.

Our logo however needs a change

 

[eth-dog]

We're the Essendon Bombers. Changing our name would be very disappointing.

 

[Howard Moon]

For a millisecond there a thought I was looking at the back of The Age with James Dastardly twirling his moustache in a scheming sort of way with his sidekick, Dankly.

whos the better schemer?

Dastardly or Gargamel?

I reckon they are the same voice/man

 

[Blind Turn]

We are the Bombers

And I support the Bombers

While I agree with your overall sentiment, I'd argue that we are, and always have been, Essendon, whereas we have not always been the Bombers. If one thing is changeable it is the nickname. I'd change that before if have changed our jumper.

Having said that, like Lance I wouldn't change our name based on a PC drive. The Bombers name though is not something I particularly relate to aside from some tacky cartoon posters I had on my wall as a kid. It's definitely expendable in my mind.
