I wonder then if we should change our jumper as well?

Like Ar$enal and Man U do every other day of the week?

Seems if keeping the same logo because they do is a good enough argument then maybe changing the jumper also carries their infinite pommy wisdom?

settle down darth you're being ridiculous, the club employs people to make strategic decisions that cut across commercial operations and marketing. opening these types of decisions up to the peanut gallery would generally do more harm than good. Honestly what would most supporters know o0f marketing...from the general responses Ive waded through , NOT very much. The case for a NEW image is open and shut, acceptance of a NEW one will always be an arbitrary one...heck 10 people couldnt agree on a fav beer letalone a picture. what we need to lock onto is the catalyst for change and that is a horid period that the club is working hard to emerge from

A catalyst for change would be to make finals - and make them in consecutive years for the 1st time since 74/75.
Hows that for a genuine paradigm shift !

I decided to Gussy up my avatar as the old one was associated with failure, this one is associated with ...well two electoral failures but eventual success in winning the epic Lord Mayoral tussel with John So and although a ceremonial position, the winner hasn't let that deter him from strutting around like a fat, oily, medieval Lord, crushing the insurrection.

it has NOTHING to do with our form onfiled. THINK commercial operations, marketing, sponsorship brand imaging and how the OLD failed Richmond of last three decades is seen in public arena that is ridicule, embarrasment, failure, butt of jokes scorn are just a few words that come to mind and you might begin to understand the catalyst for change :shh

No Bojangles. Darth Tiger is absolutely correct. A new logo will neither provide a catalyst for change, nor alter the way we are perceived by other supporters one iota.

oh yeah, absolutely correct  ::), business is like a puzzle there are a number of pieces required to get it right. New team, new facilities, NEW LOGO are all necessary parts to getting this club back to the BIG 4. But hey I dont mind you asking the kids what they think. Toddlers are crazy in a cool way  in what just pops out :lol

and you accused someone else of clutching at straws?

The only thing that will turn around how the club is perceived is on field success.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

You idiot. The new logo is a big part of turning this around. If we had success with our old logo then people wouldn't accept because it was our logo in a bad time for the club. This is common sense mate :lol

In the order of standings, the black Jumper with Yellow sash is remembered by all well before the logo. Personally I don't blame the logo (or the Jumper) for any of our dark days as their representation of the club has never changed and never should. It didn't kill us at the draft table, It didn't pick Wallace as our coach, it didn't miss goals or tackles or a ton of turnovers when we were flogged by 157 points by Geelong in 2007, It didn't sign Jordan McMahon. It stood there proud as ever as symbol of courage, tenacity and strength. Just because the personnel within the club were not able to achieve these levels of excellence, doesn't mean the the logo should take the fall. I remember individuals for our past failings not the logo.

Ask any Tiger Fan one question. Who or what do you believe accurately represents the failings of this club over the past 30 years? I guarantee you will hear responses such as Frawley, Wallace, Walls, Miller, Beck, Gieschen, Lounder, McMahon, general drafting incompetence etc... etc... The Logo like the Jumper will never rate a mention.

But as I said, The Jumper is a far stronger representation of the club than the logo, so by your rationale, we should be changing our Jumper first. Oh to hell with it, lets change our Colours as well. Lets have bright happy colours that will take us into the future and a new beginning....Gimme a break.
