Carn, worth wearing just for memories of us smashing Hawks in 09.

Tredrea 6 goals, Logan screamer...

Do you serve ice cream in it?

 

[edgie]

Is that what happened?

I can't think of another example of such buffoonery ever - Brisbane's move to the paddlepop laan doesn't count because the 'original lion' looks like a piece of over-photocopied shit and needed to be overhauled, they just went about it the wrong way.

The Eagles guernseys though. Cripes.

The yellow peril and royal wings were perfect in every way. Unique, aesthetically gorgeous, iconic and worn in premierships. So let's introduce navy (because polo shirts?), then ochre, then that appalling navy-white-yellow piece of shit for no sane reason.

It'd be like us volunteering to shelve the PB's for some of the awful crap we've had to wear before striking gold with the current strips.

The old new coke - classic coke marketing ploy.

I don't own one!

But there was at least one memorable game wearing it

Don't forget Hammer's debut.

What is even more wonderful is the original 'Bears logo', which is actually a Koala.

The real 'justification' is that they liked how Brisbane Bears was alliterative, but they wanted an "Australian flavour". So, koalas.

They literally put an elementary poetry technique above common sense and basic taxonomy.

Bearettes

Surely that didn't pass a proof read

 

[Doctor Feel]

For the record, this is the official media release.

Good start to it...

"We are the bears, based on the koala bear."

"...OK the koala is strictly not a bear BUT!!"

Can we not?

We put basketball singlets in your NRL singlets so you can buy an AFL singlet that is a basketball singlet!

Also is it just me, or do people that wear basketball singlets in public have a high body odour to cleanliness ratio?

Literally the first sentence into explaining their identity they realise they ****ed up

That's a lie. I wore my basketball singlet out in public today, 10 minutes after my shower.

"Yeah, let's perpetuate this widespread falsity by naming an elite sports team after it"

Ok mate settle.
We'll all have what you want.

'Elite'. Lol. Good one.

'Elite'. Lol. Good one.

Heh. I thought the same thing as I wrote it.

IMO the best Bigfooty troll ever was from a guy angry about the Brisbane-Fitzroy merger - not a Fitzroy fan, a Bears fan, complaining about how his club's proud history had been torn apart.

DARE TO BE A BEAR

Heard some good news yesterday, there will be a range of PA monogram merchandise for next season. Most likely won't be out in time for Christmas.

Although New Era claimed they owned the rights to the monogram, apparently this is bullshit and the club will go on manufacturing gear with it on it.

For the record, this is the official media release.

Its a far better identity than Lions and has so much potential, particularly with modern graphic design.

Makes sense for the NRL as people like a sleeveless option in the heat.

tidy in the virtual image, but when in material it will probably look shit.

"Bears was by far the most popular - approximately 17% of entries"
