This has been posted before in various threads but I would like to see the FFC monogram return to the Brisbane Lions jumper permanently. I do not see why they require the 'fitzroy lion' next to the BBFFC on the back anymore. I'm sure this was placed there in the final year of the 'paddlepop lion' to appease supporters at the time. Since the traditional and true lion has returned gloriously to the front of the jumper I believe they can do away with the one on the back. I personally think the FFC monogram is the best of all footy monograms. It would be great to see it return permanently not just trotted out once a year on commemorative jumpers. The monogram actually dates back to the 1890's I saw on a thread on here. The Brisbane Bears monogram (although only comparatively young, in use for the first decade of Brisbane team) could go on the shorts. Thus both merged identities would be represented. I feel the way I have set out both monograms/logos is best aesthetically and are a much better representation than just having the initials BBFFC.

Not a bad idea jpmelb7. A couple of years ago there were similar suggestions replacing the letters BBFFC with the Brisbane Bears logo and FFC monogram at the top of the back of the jumpers. It looked really good. Not sure what thread that was in, but someone on here would know and be able to find it.

I doubt whether the Club would support such a change though, and at the moment they have more pressing issues. Still, I would like to see it considered at some stage.

pardon the intrusion but I really like this idea. It differentiates you from SMFC etc. Having the two logos for Fitzroy and the Bears would be a fitting tribute as they would be instantly recognisable and maintain the legacies of both clubs.

Instead of the shorts why not have both logos side by side on the back of the jumper?
