"In the year 2019, long after the reign of Gary Ablett were the last-placed Gold Coast Suns, dwindling in fans, players, and support, the club was on the brink of death, luckily The Southport Sharks heard both the Suns and AFLs pleads for help. A deal was struck where Southport would merge with the Suns to give Southport an AFL side. Conditions were that the blue was to be ditched and replaced by white and a new monogram was to be made more in the style of the Southport monogram, along with this their logo as well, and jersey design, with Gold Coasts Reserves team folding, Southports VFL side would now become the new reserves team, remaining the same in black and white. this merger went on to boost supporter and membership numbers, while it did take until the 2024 season for them to start showing glimpses of a strong side, they have the great young core of Rowell, Anderson, Walter, and many more. The club was now a target destination for older players to continue playing football or start coaching and handing over their experience to these young players. The future looks promising for the young powerhouse now called the Gold Coast Sharks."

"It's the end of the 2026 AFL season and the Gold Coast Suns finish with their 3rd straight wooden spoon. The combination of dwindling numbers, sponsors and draft picks requesting trades after one season pressured the GC board to seek ways to keep the club afloat and attain glory and thus lead to seeking a merger with local side Southport Sharks. After months of deliberation, the two parties agreed and entered the 2027 AFL season as the newly formed Gold Coast Sharks. Months leading up to the premiership season, for preseason games, the amalgamated team would wear GC Suns kits at home and Southport Shark kits away. It was a time of unease for the supporters, but the board reassured that both of the clubs histories would remain at the forefront. Taking the Southport Sharks logo with the addition of a new GCS monogram and Gold Coast colour scheme and the striking new Vee design on both the Home and Away kits with the 2 teams respective colours"
