News New Richmond Tigers logo

[kolja51]

This is new Richmond logo. I assume Cato Design did it (cato.com.au) as it's the same style as Hawks and Geelong that they did. It's an upgrade for sure, but just missing the link to a Richmond's history.
What do you reckon? or ???

 

[Smeagle]

I'm going to say

As has been shown, a gratuitous rip-off the Tiger beer logo for composition and pose of the tiger. They could have done so much more to make it unique emblem for Richmond (I could see a sash being formed amongst those stripes on the chest maybe?); but instead they've turned it into a generic logo that no doubt has the potential to be ripped-off itself in amateur sporting circles to within an inch of its life. I'm sorry to say, it deserves it.
Too much white, to boot.

Perhaps with the exception of Melbourne, though it too has its critics, the last half a dozen new club logos have been extremely sub-standard in my eyes

 

[Mr Eagle]

It does surprise me that neither Richmond nor Essendon tries to work their sash into their logo these days.

A logo change for the Bombers is well overdue too.

Logo looks very "light" on the eyes, in contrast to the last one.

I personally love it. Looking forward to seeing how they package it up.

Essendon's is probably the worst in the league bar the new Lions and Crows. Definitely well overdue for a change.

Yuck

In my opinion Essendon's logo is much better then St. Kilda, they should be a next team to rebrand.

 

[Mr Eagle]

St Kilda's could do with a spruce-up (improve the curve of the ribbons, add some weight to the shield), but the basic logo is timeless and pretty sound. Yet although it's designed along similar "classical" lines, I don't see nearly as much value in maintaining the current Richmond logo.

I can sort of see where you guys are coming from in regards to the St. Kilda logo. There was a change to Anislie FC logo at the beginning of this year which is similar.

Don't change the Saints logo.

I kind of liked the old Tigers crest. In comparison to the other AFL logos, it was different. This looks uniform. The lines are a little soft as well.

By no means is this a bad design, it's just a little boring.

I've always liked the Dutch football logo. I know this is a lion, not a tiger. However, a similar design might be something fresh to the league.

Just on Rebrands, i spoke to Simon Garlick and we (the western bulldogs) are having a major rebrand at the end of the 2012 season..... yes that means we will be reverting back to our traditional strip

 

[Silent Alarm]

With the inclusion of Greater Western Sydney, the Western Bulldogs should rebrand before 2012.

shit house. I personally thought richmond had the best sporting logo world wide, this is just a week cartoon.

At least they still have the best song in the AFL, and maybe the world?

Looks like he's popping out of a door in the helmet to wonder who rang his doorbell at this hour of the night...

Pretty meh, still, it reminds you how shitful Adelaide's is.

My fiancee walked passed the computer: "Is that the logo for the Tiger Cubs kiddy memberships?". This comment was not said in jest.

We had some exchange students from America this semester who really got into the footy, however they only realised a couple of weeks ago that the Western Bulldogs were not from Western Australia.

I get this all the time. Not just from foreigners, but Auusies not too familiar with AFL.

Perhaps we change to the "Footscray-Western Bulkdogs"??

Some Melbourne supporter has already mocked the design and using it as his avatar. Haha
