Just on logos…

There most probably was a designer getting paid nothing at the very end of a long line of bullshit that had to come up with this. That designer then had to some how get approval through that long line of bullshit. But not before having to listen to every single deadshit idea from all “invested stakeholders”… Which includes the delivery dude that just walked into the design studio to drop off Belles ASOS parcel. “Oh the Bulls hey… What about the Cowboys instead? JT is a suckcunt.”
Ps. it’s due tomorrow.

Also, it is 2019. Modern design is derivitive. Everyone needs to get over it.

Really depends on how much traction they get in Liverpool and surrounding areas IMO.

If they’re getting good traction up to Horsley Drive (they succeed in the “South West” side of it) then there’ll be a fair bit in that rivalry, but the risk of the “Macarthur” branding is that they end up as a south-of-Casula team, and in that scenario the reduced geographical overlap might make it a bit more SFC-CCM than SFC-WSW.

agreed with what you say and add that if a Wollongong team gets in at some stage, Macarthur would possibly have a bigger rivalry with them

Milicic locked in.

167

That’s a move that makes sense for everyone.

It’s all confirmed:

Black, white and golden ochre should be a nice colour scheme.

and three stars of the Southern Cross to symbolise football’s links with the grassroots football community, the National Premier League and the A-League

Beautiful. Makes no sense but they made something up anyway.

The logo is shockingly bad.

Pretty sure they designed the logo with stars and then had to try & come up with a way to justify it but our logo was & is guilty of that too.

Oi! Our seven point star is representative of the 7 remaining HAL foundation clubs, 6 of which are eternally beneath us.

The video on their website is actually quite good. Justifies the name and branding well.

The execution on the bull is a little weird though. The poor sod looks crosseyed.

174

Three stars of the southern cross… errr ok sure.

175

Apparently the stars represent the Community, NPL, and A League teams.

176

This could help create some rivalry between WSW fans and the new club. There’s a belief among a lot of WSW fans I know that Milicic was a massive part of their early success, and that after he left they went backwards.

177

the video and inclusion of the local indigenous people is fantastic I must say

178

The video is horrific it features footage of the cove at the nix game as “their” passionate support of football, some story no one has heard as justification of the bulls moniker, every bit of footage of people going about there day is from a 100m stretch of Queen St.

And if they think the can claim king kebabs as theirs they can get to fuck, they can have the far inferior queen st kebabs.

Id be pretty keen for a return of a gold kit from them as an away kit.

For those complaining about logos, colours, stars etc. please get a grip. All original logos in the HAL (or NSL with Perth) have been modified or altered.

We started off with a giant classic football in the with the sails of the opera house which was far more tacky than what we’re seeing lately.

The colours, logo and name are fine with me. Calling it South West Sydney FC would’ve been a cop out and the club will grow with time.

The video on their website says the stadium is to be re-developed. Is there a plan or timeline for that or are they just putting it out there?

There’s a bit of info here about their plans and it seems like there might be some money there for it:
