I like the way FarkCarlton is honouring their tradition of fat forwards.
Whitnall McClure Fevola etc etc.

Many Essendon sports teams also use the current logo such as the Essendon Hockey Club, Essendon Rowing Club etc.
I like that I have Nino on ignore and therefore canāt see his suggestion but based on his hysterical posting Iām happy about that

I have a problem that the F-16XL lost a competition to the Strike Eagle

Itās the stupid swing wing thing, and thatās the stylised intakes, but all those types have some sort of leading edge extension to smooth that transition.
Still, swing wings are so 70s.
I initially thought the swing wings were an F-111 thing, but on further reflection itās obviously a B1B
Iām not sure Iād really want to go to a B2, a Beaufort would be hard to put in a modern logo, and the RAAF doesnāt actually have a ābomberā in its current fleet.

Agree that the intakes are supposed to be there but thereās nowhere for the air to go in!
I feel like itās a bit of a mash up of the F111 and the B2.
Not that I want to get too into it but Iāve been looking at this crappy logo for 20+ years waiting for it to change. How did they they make the B2 look uncool?
Anyway Ninoās right (at least partially).

Not sure if itās technically a bomber but the A10 Thunderbolt has always been the most intimidating looking bomber type plane for mine.
Just looks type a fkg tank. The type of plane that you see coming a mile away and just know itās going to tear ā ā ā ā apart.

Strike aircraft, so not a bomber, but that gun in brutalā¦

Itās not diving. We are looking at it from above and in front. Itās all a matter of perspective!

Perspective eh?
To me, the nose is pointed downā¦thereās no other element within the logo to suggest otherwise.
But Iām happy to agree to disagree 
yeh I have no knowledge of bomber planes whatsoever

I get what youāre saying, but Iām just saying what itās supposed to represent.
Anyway, we might as well wait until the PC police make us change our nickname before we change the logoā¦

Ha, I think you found the exact image the graphic designers started from!! If you trace that image the weird intake/pivot sections are pretty much exactly the same.

Always thought the B1 was a slightly odd choice, since itās only used by US Airforce,
F/A 18F Super Hornet has a pretty silhouette:
But please letās not use F35 (itās got Essington written all over it)

It is also ugly as sin.
However for everyone suggesting F-15s, F-16s, F/A-18s etc, these are fighter aircraft with secondary strike capability, not bombers.
It would be like the Hawks using an Eagle in their logo - close, but incorrect.
Letās go old school and use the most visually pleasing of all ww2 bombers, the mosquito.

I think our logo is now the oldest in the league by some margin (possibly along with St.Kildaās).
Obviously it shouldnāt be americanised like the OP suggests but I think we should definitely replace it ASAP.
Be careful what you wish for, as some of the other clubsā logos are abominations, e.g. Adelaide and Melbourne. (and some of the other short-lived sheisse that clubs have gone with since weāve had our current logo.)
