I see the Pies are making a song and dance about adding their logo to their jumper next year - link (https://www.clubsonline.com.au/shop/index.cfm?fuseaction=display_main&orgid=1714#).
Does anyone know if we are going back to the 1995-2007 logo or are we keeping a modified version of this year's centenary logo minus the word centenary? I hope it's the latter.
I liked the look of the club logo on the jumper too. I hope we keep that too.
-
I also prefer the centenary logo but without the centenary bit. And agree it looked good on the jumper.
What is more important at this point though is what is the back of the jumper going to look like...let's hope it's not blank :help
-
How about something like this?

I just love that logo and i think it should be a keeper. :gotigers
-
Yeah, MT that's a winner. Let's hope we go that way. I don't mind the previous logo (it's better than the side profile tiger head through the 90s) but it's time to move forward to another and the one you have prepared would be perfecto! :clapping
-
if they do that, i hope the logo is under the major sponsor!
Collingwood's looks weird!
St Kilda, Geelong have the better idea!
Hawthorn used to have it!
-
With due respect MT, that would look like a patchup job.
Would prefer a complete overhaul of the existing design leading into a new period.
-
I hope we dont style our jumper like theirs, it looks like it has a bib on it :chuck

It was a patchup job in Paint :D.
Seriously the problem with coming up a completely new logo design now is it'll only be for 2009. 2010 is the club's 125th anniversary (Feb 10, 2010) so we'll probably come up with a new special logo design for that. By 2011 we could have a scenario where we had 4 different logos within 4 years which is a bit overkill IMO.

125th Anniversary?
Haven't we just had our Centenary? If anything seems overkill..
I still would like to see something new & sexy.
We have had that Tiger head for 14 years now and whilst it's not terrible, I reckon the ol' beast is due for a facelift.

I guess a 125th Anniversary 1885-2010 would equal more special merchandise, books and dinners to flog lol.
As for something new do you mean something like this Magic?

Mightytiges I have to say I like it.
And I thought that the 100 year logo wouldn't be able to be beaten.
It hasn't beaten it but it comes close. :gotigers

Sorry, don't like it MT. Reminds me too much of the disaster logo from the 90s with the side-on tiger head. :-\ :-\
-
This might come under the heading of, You can please some of the people some of the times, but you can't please all the people all the time.

No need to apologise for not liking it as it isn't mine. It's the logo of US College Missouri's football (gridiron) side - the Tigers. I just put it up as something different to consider as a Tigers logo as Magic suggested. I prefer myself the altered centenary logo.

Geez could you choose a worse example MT? ;D

A couple more diverse ones that are okay-ish (most are pretty bad) logos from Tiger sports teams.

I say keep this one till our 125th year it has it all that we know about and I think its the best one out of all the examples shown by far.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a design with a bit of a shredded carcass in the Tigers claws ;D

Here's a few I kind of like. Some of them don't have a Tiger so you have to use your imagination a little.
I particularly like the BYU Cougar & the Drury Cougar too. Yes I know they are not Tigers. ;D
Its mainly the layout that I like. I would love to see an angry Tiger astride the word Richmond with football club as a sub header.
I also like the whole Tiger being in the image with an emphasis on the claws.
Anyway, further food for though.
-
I really like this one that has been used as an avatar on PRE and maybe Y&B too
No idea what it's origins are though

Looks like the Wests Tigers logo.

Thats what I was thinking to. But I wasn't gunna be the first to say it. :gotigers

Looking at the new membership gear we're sticking with the old faithful.
-
That fine by me also. I have to say it is far better than the other teams out there. But I'm bias as well.

Pre-Season Jumper?

I liked last years one better but I spos it will be something we get ude to over time.
-
In the membership brochure they are just using the usual tiger head alone as a logo but it isn't on the next year's jumper. They also have a new idiot smith sponsor badge as well.

Looks like the Wests Tigers logo.
Ahh it is too, an edited version of it
I'd looked at a lot of sporting sites but clearly didn't look close enough and ignored it due to the two claws
-
Pre-Season Jumper?
Really?
I liked last years too but that is pretty cool.

I think its a great design as well. The way the idiot Smith logos is on and everything looks really well put together.

Pre-Season Jumper?
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s20/tiger_man_nemesis/Tiger.jpg)
Absolutely love this. Best I've ever seen as a pre-season. Probably not enough yellow to be a clash jumper though.
-
Have to say the more I see it the more I'm liking it. At first I wasn't a fan of it but I coming around to it.

Have to Say that the more yellow one is my prefered choice.

Are you making these yourself Wayne or getting them from somewhere? They are very good. :thumbsup
-
Making them.
The tiger stripes I pinched from the tiger in the Tiger beer logo.
I got the jumper template from Mero who does the footy jumper website.
-
All the same very clever. :clapping

Is it the original illustrator file?
I'd love to get a hold of it, how do I get it?

Like this one even better. Nice job wayne :thumbsup.
I know I'm in the minority but with revenues falling in the current climate I could easily accept us running out in an alternative strip as well as score more merchandise revenue to boot. It would only be for 1-2 games per year anyway such as playing away to Essendon. Guernseys #9, #3 and #12 would sell like hotcakes.

#3 might have wait for the #17 given #1 with be free ;).
Seriously I think the club needs to bite the bullet especially in the current economic climate and get ahead of the pack and come up with a proper alternative jumper like wayne's designs. We're fortunate we have such popular and great colours to be creative with. Everyone loves tigers :thumbsup. You could use wayne's black version during preseason and the yellow one against Essendon away.
-
The 2 jumpers he has come up with are the 2 best alternative jumpers ive seen put forward. The club should seriously look at them as alternatives.
-
Just on our logo, going by the updated RFC site, it looks like we're going back to the old one with Est. 1885 underneath it.

Agree Ramps. You should contact the club wayne :thumbsup.
-
i like them both. the yellow seems orange though. what is with the "idiot smith" logo with a right high tick ??? looks silly!
but those designs are brilliant! Sony - looks good as a sponsor! would be good if we do get Sony! AIG - would of been better :)
-

It's not a tick. The whole logo is the letter "d" in the new font of idiot smith's.

Getting back to the original link to the collingwood website. Anyone see the banner?? It says "Collingwogd" if you use the traditional letter number substitution :rollin Whoever the mental giant was that came up with that one I'd love to see his licence plate! ::)

ADH - 001 ;). Nah I think that 'g' is meant to be a '9'.
We should've done something similar to Essendon and mocked the bluebaggers latest slogan:

I think the club should seriously consider these jumpers that have been put forward, and I would actually go further that you MT,I would wear the black version in the night series and I would wear the yellow version of this jumper in the actual season not only against Essendon, but against Interstate Clubs as well when we are the away team, I dont recall how many games that would be - maybe about 4 ... but if we could package up the new jumper with a naming sponsorship deal for the back of the jumper then I think the club should look at it. The publicity generated and the merchandise sales would make it worthwhile.
I just checked we have 4 interstate trips as the away team, 1 game on the Gold coast as the home team, and 1 jumper clash v Essendon as the away team. You could wear the jumper on 6 games and really make an impact in terms of sponsorship and merchandise, but the supporters who hate change would probably be against it, the thing is though if you can get the sponsorship deal then that fixes the black hole in the finances, I think its a fair compromise.

I wouldn't have a problem using it in more away games (like your suggestion btw Ramps) but most Tiger supporters are anti any alternative jumper. So initially I would go for just 1 or 2 games to show what they look like to our own supporters and the club should emphasise it is the RFC's initiative to help the club; not the AFL dictating to us. If they become popular/likeable enough with the majority of supporters (winning in them would help big time of course) then the club would find it easier the following year or two to extend their use to interstate away games as well as you've suggested Ramps. The centenary game might have been a flop on field but I was amazed how many U25 Tiger fans were wearing the centenary jumper at the game. That's the supporter demographic you're targeting.

Updated sponsor... :pray
