New Club Logos

[Magpiespower]

Pretty sure there's a wolf on the Bloods' logo because West briefly adopted the 'Wolves' moniker in 1970s.

Or is my mind playing tricks on me?

[Punk Rooster]

None of the old logo's are 'broke' as such.

I don't know if you ever noticed this, but the Bloods' logo has a wolf in it.

A bloodhound is not a wolf.

It's been 'broke' for 30 years!

The Bloods isn't short for Bloodhounds, it's from "Blood 'n' Tars', blood for the red colour and tar for the black.

Then why is the club pushing the blood hound on its home page?

Think about this from the perspective of the general public. They're getting a confused message of what the club identity is. They're told it's the bloods, with a wolf and a bloodhound, when it's actually the blood and tars - but the club isn't marketed as the blood and tars, so they can't be expected to know that. They just see two different animals and think "huh?"

We need to pick one thing and stick with it.

Using this logic, there's a problem with Glenelg being called The Bays & Tigers?

In the 70's Westies where called the wolves but good ol' Knuckles changed us back to the bloods and the logo changed i dunno when R&B might be able to fill in the blanks. I have seen some old westies badges with a bloodhound on it. I know when Mordialloc where in the VFA they had a bloodhound for a logo and it looked a little silly and mind you Mordialloc's colours are red and white.

I used to be of the same opinion re a template but if you look at the top of the AFL site, all the different logos look pretty good. If they're well designed, I cant see a problem.

If any club in the SANFL needs to change it's logo it would be the Eagles. It would be interesting to see what they would come up with. Somewhere between the West Coast Eagles new logo and the Philadelphia Eags from the NFL would be good. An Eagle is awe inspiring bird and deserves to be seen that fashion. A new logo in my opinion would have to strike fear in it's opponents, maybe even something like the Eagle on the Torrens jumper of old.

& also get rid of that crappy jumper that look like the players vomited all over it on a mad monday.

Actually Punky I would have to say we have the best guernsey design of any sanfl club. By far the most creative and imaginative. Most other clubs should follow our lead and start gettin more creative instead of sticking to their plain, boring old jumpers.

You can laugh all you want my friend. But it's true it's damn true. The Eagles definately have the most original and imaginative design. I stand by my original comments and challenge anyone to let me know who's is better.

I have no idea. I'm not a Westies supporter but I've never heard them referred to as the Bloodhounds.

Growing up, my Dad used to tell me that the Bloods were short for "Bloodhounds" - though that was during the early 80's. But, my Dad had always thought that growing up!

[Dissident]

Also - the wolf logo on the site - I remember that from when Iwas young - and I think in my youth-mind it was a dog - therefore a "hound" - but I knew SFA at that age!


(some would argue I still know SFA)

You can feel sorry for us all you want my friend. But it's true it's damn true. The Eagles definately have the most disgusting design. I stand by my original comments and challenge anyone to let me know who's is uglier.

Can't argue with that

[Leaping Lindner]

I remember West being known as the Wolves in 1979 and 1980 and then Kerley changed back to the Bloods when he took over again in 1981.
The Footy Times Yearbook backs this up....

From 1980 (79 season)




From 1981 (80 season)




I also remember as a kid (late 60's/early 70's) they were known as the Blood and Tars and then when the SANFL introduced "official" logos in 1975 they were known simply as the bloods (short for bloodhounds).
