bt50 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Worth noting too that one of the other reasons we decided not to go to a forum vote was that their is potential for it to be hijacked by people outside the fan base. I think Tesla can verify this theory 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LIBBA] Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I will learn to deal with the name and like I've said on a few posts and even my email to the blokes, im here to help the Terrance when ever. I will say though, the emblem is something we need to look at though. I'm not sure if it's cause of copyright issues, but I think if a Heart is to be there, it needs to either be the outline of the Melb Heart emblem or nothing at all.

Red or Dead Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I like Melburnians - at least it will teach people how to spell it, i.e. there's no "o"! Not sure about this forum's new colour scheme though! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Can live with Melburnians better then something like 'heartland' and the logos ok, only thing i'd suggest is maybe changing the number on the logo to when heart was founded rather then the year Melbourne was founded but all in all i'm cool with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Much like the above, everyone needs to get behind the lads involved and really help the terrace grow! The terrace growth is probably, well hopefully, going to grow proportionally to the overall attendance so exciting times ahead. The logo needs work though. Yarraside logo was absolute class, this one is quite a big step down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexxandro Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) One reason to go to a vote even if it was obvious what the answer would be is to make people feel like they chose the name or that it really was the most popular. But it might have caused more problems so I don't know, maybe this is fine. Just seems a bit strange to be talking about including everyone and then not having a vote- something I think most of us were pretty much expecting despite what the exact working may have been.. I think the logo is good just needs a minor tweak. What that tweak is I don't know. Edited July 3, 2014 by Alexxandro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrecky Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The beauty of this name is all city supporters can feel part of it without even being active. In time if your a city supporter you are automatically a melburnian. (Once its accepted by the masses) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedukeofhearts Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Not a name that grabs me it seems a bit of a nothing/vanilla name "Melbourne City Melburnians" but hey if that's what the majority wants so be it. I'll accept it and support the terrace. Thanks for your work guys. have to agree. find the name really dull, boring and a little cringeworthy, but pftt. Don't really care for names. Just as long as there's passion in the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewmelbcity Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Can live with Melburnians better then something like 'heartland' and the logos ok, only thing i'd suggest is maybe changing the number on the logo to when heart was founded rather then the year Melbourne was founded but all in all i'm cool with it Year is when Melbourne was given city status not when Melbourne was founded hence the relation between the date and us being called city, however I do agree with previous reference with dates on logos usually being when that group is founded and may be perceived in that regard from outsiders however I'm happy with finished product (maybe heart needs a little working on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The logo could do with a bit of an evolution; using the outline of Melbourne Heart's heart would be better in my opinion. Also how would it look if the heart outline was gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyheart Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The way I was judging suggested names was by imaging Andy Harper calling "David Villa celebrates he's derby screamer in front of the ........ In the southern end" and Melburnians suited that the best. Good work chaps Burn City Bitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're definitely going to be asking for the input of the supporter community for stuff like scarf designs and the like so I hope you all can still get involved.

Baresi Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The Melburnians?? Are you serious??? I'm sorry if this comes across as me having a go, but could we have picked a stronger and less cheesier name them that. I don't see how it's cheesy... It's the demonym for people of Melbourne. Really? Its not cheesy??? To start off with, it reminds me way too much of "The Cityzens" or how ever they spell it. Secondly aren't the visitors technicall5 "Melburnians" also. Come on guys. Even the emblem. If your gonna have a heart in the emblem, why not the orginal emblem and not an actual heart. Again this is not having a go at the 4 blokes who got this train going forward, but when I think of a terrace, the name usually needs to be a strong one. Melburnians is just not a name I would put in that category. Again just my opinion. Common sense, mate. Yes, the Visitors are Melburnians, in that they also come from Melbourne, but we can make the name our own; we can BE Melbourne. As for whether it's applicable to a terrace, well that depends entirely on the terrace itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliMate Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 So does the active support area have a name? The group may be Melburnians but where do they stand? In the 'Southern End'? Will always be the Yarra Side to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 To the guys who chose the name, no need to apologise or to defend your choices - you made the effort and earned the right to choose. Stay strong and work hard because what you bring on match day is so very important for the club. Looking forward to Melburbians1847 being huge, as was Yarraside, and to the club's new beginnings 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
