SA Footy

Hey Guys

I'm having a bit of a play around and am trying to locate the cartoon logo's from the 80's. I have a copy of the Sturt Muscle man which is still used occasionally.

I have searched the net/images and found really small copies of westies & centrals, but both too small to be effective.

If anyone has a copy of their clubs logo (bigger the better) could you please PM me, or post for all too see.
I will post the three logo's that I have found, but like I said I need larger copies.

Cheers

The small logo's from Sturt, Centrals & West Adelaide

I have so far had success with: bloods, bulldogs, woodpeckers, tigers & had access to blues.

1. Magpies - only image I can find on the net is attached to either a mug or a glass, thus both curved.
2. Redlegs - did they have a cartoon logo or just have the running legs with the footy which was their main logo through the 80's?

That leaves the following clubs that I have zero images (cartoon) on: South Adelaide, West Torrens, North Adelaide. I am confident all three had a character logo in the early 80's.

A mate suggested looking through old copies of the Footy Budget....

I hope this works:



Can supply larger image in other format if required.

Thanks. This is magic! A huge help.

I miss the muscle man... class character that one!

those logos were great

WEG???? also did some great cartoons of clubs for the Footyfacts book in 1987

wvere got to get those logos back

I'd take the Norwood 'running man' over the limp effort we've got now.

Got that book too. Cannot be arsed scanning the cartoons in though.

Agree James and Interceptor, all these are far better than the ones the clubs have changed to over the last few years, though for the official club emblem I'd still prefer the more serious, traditional ones.

Are Port, Glenelf & Sturt the only clubs that hanvent tinkered with their logos that much?

I really hated the West Torrens/Woodville West Torrens old 'E' logo - bring back the flying eagle. I can stomach the new Eagles logo as its not as bad as the old one.

Central, South, Norwood & West's logos - well the less said the better.

The great thing about the old logos was it made the clubs look like real footy clubs - not 'AFL corporate wanna bes'

Glenelg and port only ones left.

Each club Logo defines the strength of a club

Look at Souths pansy Panther

Just about sums up their strength

Could be worse, you could have a cock.

Reakon North should go for something like this...

It looks too erect for North.

Maybe it was because as a kid the realistic logos the teams had in place in 1980 were the first i ever knew im not sure, but i think they are the benchmark for logos. I don't think the modern style ones pale in comparison.

Glenelg still have their leaping tiger but I think they are the only team still using the logo from that era I grew up with and all credit to them for that.

As an example, i think the roaring Panther head from back then is far better than what South have now.

Sorry for going off topic. If someone could reproduce the logos I am talking about, maybe in a different thread, I'd love to see them all in one image again.

Anyone else remember the little stickers you would put over the winning team on a big poster that had the full schedule on it. The top half of the poster had a picture containing one player from each team kneeling on one knee. The one I recall from 1980 had Lindsay Heaven, Colin Casey, Rodney Robran, Bucky Cunningham, Ray Hayes, Dean Mobbs, Geoff Baynes ... not sure on the others. Was it all the team's captains? Anyone still got those posters? How long did the produce them for?

they are gold. would love to see them back!
