We need a rebrand

[summerthebat]

No better time than now to get the members excited for next year, because not much else will.

The chevron's are vapid, they've run their race. The colour scheme is dull, becoming more and more washed out and it stands for nothing. I'm almost at the point where I'd prefer a play on the original jumper, at least it was uniquely ours, someone thought about the design in a metaphorical sense.

On reflection, we've continually watered down the unique things we did, so we couldn't be made fun of. From the anchor in the rock, Johnny & Jenny Doc replacing Grinder, it's a miracle the song has survived despite it almost being turfed.

At the end of the day, we still get shat on, so the idea of become a meek, unseen outfit isn't doing it for me anymore.

Never forget someone decided to put a graphic of a stadium on our jumper, but purple, red and green is too ugly.

You need a stiff drink mate, Dan's has a good deal on Glenmorangie at the moment.

[its free real estate]

Guernsey is too dark, almost navy blue. Keep the design, just make the guernsey more purple.

This shade please:

I like our kit. Legitimately my favourite out of all clubs.

Would only accept a change if we went radical and used something like Dortmund's (my favourite kit in any sport).

 

[Deathly]

Checked

 

[summerthebat]

HEY PAUL

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Nah

Maybe a tweak to the Purple - less dark, a tint of red ala our original Purple (PGFC's Purple is quite nice if you wanted to meet halfway)

Re-brand would be very unnecessary imo

 

[FreoRicci]

What mate?

Why would you change arguably the best design in the comp? Just coz to get the members' attention? Well those members can get out if that's what they need to rejoin.

The day we redid the logo and chevrons was the day this club became professional. Strong solid colours with a great simple logo .

The anchor has been done, its childish and the butt of jokes. No thanks

 

[Monument Hills]

Cockburn Watersliders. Aqua with a long red streak down the front.

The chevrons are yawn city, come to terms with it, address it.

Just because you've gotten "bored" with it doesn't mean everyone else has or should.

Thanks for that, Pythagoras

 

[Kapow!!!]

So are sashes, stripes, columns and hoops. I don't see many teams rushing to rebrand because they're 'bored'. Current design is good. I wouldn't be against the original away strip as some sort of heritage jumper though.

The Song on the other hand...

 

[YelloMit]

Thanks for that, Pythagoras

Don't get upset with me just because no-one agrees with you.

I'll keep the Chevrons and lose you instead, I think.

 

[The_Eagles]

You guys should add green red and white back to the socks, gives you a nautical feel, without looking like Christmas colours or clowns
Like 90 percent purple with white green red trim

 

[summerthebat]

Look at the dainty Freo boys coming in their all white & purple chevron away kit.

 

[freodog]

Jumper is fine.

Dump the song. As much as I want to Freo to win, I cringe every time they have to sing the song.

The rubbish options they came up with years ago was terrible. No surprise Eski mojo hasn’t had a decent song since you could tell they were out of ideas.

K.I.S.S.

Seems and odd thing to call "dainty". Also seems a very peculiar choice of insult in 2018.

The eskimo joe version wasn't bad. I feel like we voted for the 3rd of 2 options with the redo of the original: It dumped the best parts and brought the more cringeworthy elements sharply into focus

 

[Mr Fonebone]

I like the brand ( jumper, song and emblem )

It's easy on the eye, simple and distinctive. Leave it as is.

 

[Arkhitect]

Like most here, I'm a big fan of our current jumper. The design is simple and will age very well. The club logo is great too.

The club should revisit the changing of the club song in the near future though, it's always been a little too bland.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Jesus we had a mascot called Grinder?

******* hell, the 'purple NTTAWWT' brigade would have had a field day with that one...

 

[Deathly]

I didn't even know that character from the 90s (The beanie one with the bird on his shoulder and who had those dolls made) was called Grinder.
