That is truly terrible.

I disagree. The old one sucked more.

I could tell straight away that this new logo is riffing off the classic Basketball Australia logo.

They both suck. The one you just posted, as old hat as it is, beats them both.

A random question for anyone that may know, tried searching for it but couldn't come up with anything.

Roylion may be the right guy here, who actually created the Fitzroy monogram?

The answer to that might be lost in the mists of time.

The FFC monogram appeared on the Fitzroy jumper in the early 1940's but the monogram is known to have appeared as early as 1890, seven years before they co-founded the VFL and seven seasons after their first game in 1884.

This is a membership ticket from 1890 with the FFC monogram on it, fifty-two years before it appeared on the jumper.

That's new info to me, had only ever heard of the monogram being adopted after they moved on from the Maroons/Gorillas monikers. Being pre-VFL makes it a lot harder to track down so I believe you might be right about it being lost to time.

Thought considering its so close to their foundation year, is it a good chance they've always had this logo associated with official club documents such as the constitution if they had one? Maybe one of the foundation officials (if they're still known) could have made it up in his spare time.
