Do you feel the same about the YSIDE City of Melbourne flag? Didn't even know that was the City of Melbourne flag until I was told by someone. Same thing with the whale isn't it?No, because that's the Melbourne flag. If they're just taking one element (that most Melbournians probably wouldn't understand) from it to create some kind of connection to Melbourne, it's stupid. He is quite obviously referring to the whole Melbourne flag being used in the design of the logo not just the whale....That's fine then, but for some reason I can't really see the whole flag being used, even though it is somewhat of an obvious thing to do. Actually interested to see what they come up with if it's the whole flag. Actually I'm interested to see what they come up with either way.Pls leak it sheik.

No-one in their right mind could take, by itself, one of the four symbols of Melbourne's mid-19th century and condone its use for a revamped football club in 2014. Doesn't make sense.

alex_terra_11 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's a little annoying how some people are saying that because we've only been around for 4 years that it doesn't matter if the colours change, and then cite how clubs in the past have had their name or colour changed. But do you really think a name/colour change back then met no opposition from fans? Do you really think they would have just agreed with the change? Having a short history doesn't mean that no one is passionate about the colours or that it can just be changed whenever because we haven't reached a set number of years as a club. Probably not the best analogy, but it's like if there was a baby belonging to a single mother who gets remarried, and then the step-father suddenly doesn't like it's hair colour or name and wants to change it, but because the baby is 4 years old it's okay. Not matter what happens, I'm never buying or wearing a blue Heart top. I'm perfectly fine wearing my red and white merch to the games for as long as I live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I also like how the city crew say "our colours changed", yeh that was like over 100 years ago?!?!? I ask them this: would you have sat by idly and let that happen if you were around then? I dare say that there would have been some resistance to it back then.

jw1739 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I don't think anyone is reasonably trying to use that argument now, and certainly not by using examples from 100+ years ago. The context of football was quite different then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Yep, it seems like numerous Heart personnel will be in Manchester over the weekend: Heart coaching team bound for Manchester City 8 May 2014 SBS EXCLUSIVE: Philip Micallef The transformation of Melbourne Heart to Melbourne City will take another giant step this week when the club's coaching staff will travel to England to watch Manchester City play West Ham United at Etihad Stadium on the final day of the Premier League season. The English giant has bought a majority shareholding in the struggling Melbourne club in a spectacular coup that is expected to change the landscape of the A-League. Manchester City, which is the parent club of Heart and newly-formed New York City FC which will play in Major League Soccer next year, needs only a point to clinch its second EPL title in three years. City has invited representatives of both the A-League and MLS clubs to join the premiership party in the UK on Monday (AEST). The occasion will be part of City's global get-together with its sister clubs. The Heart delegation is expected to be led by coach John van't Schip, who is on holidays in the Netherlands. Van't Schip replaced John Aloisi midway through the ninth A-League season that saw the club crash to the bottom of the league. Heart will face crosstown rival Melbourne Victory in the first round of the next A-league season. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1188725/Heart-coaching-team-bound-for-Manchester-City Edited May 8, 2014 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say they will try and put as much 'Melbourne' in it as they can. Not only in the logo but other things as well, since we will end up with sky blue/white home. So they are probably going to make a real effort in bringing in other 'melbourne' themed things into the club. If this is the case they should use the old afl clubs logos and current Melbourne Cricket club logos as a sort of template. A logo like that with MCFC would be great imo. Then they migh use the Melbourne flag behind that and there is your red in the logo? Edited May 8, 2014 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Even though the above article says JVS is on holidays in the Netherlands, I can't help but wonder if he is doing some scouting as well (IIRC Didulica said he was on 'holidays' in the US, when actually he was scouting and signing Fred, who was then in the MLS). A month ago JVS tweeted: am on week @ MCFC. Go there 2 weeks back. #scouting #meet from May in #Netherlands [Google translated] https://twitter.com/johnvantschip7/status/453649454722072576 Can easily imagine some Dutch recruitment from JVS.
