New leadership, new branding. Leadership 101.
If weâre trying to figure out what weâd be if Bombers was dropped, our mascot is a mosquito. Which by the way, is cleverly an insect capable of great destruction, and a WW2 reconnaissance plane/light bomber, so we could appease those wanting to move away from military aircraft, and those who still want one. And itâs a nod to our history with the mosquito fleet. Itâs also one of, if not my favourite WW2 aircraft.

this should be a poll?

Forget about the brand. Get the club united behind the coach and the players and Essendon in the 2020s may get a taste of the success Sheedy brought us.
The irony of that sentence given the rest of the article.

Should we change or keep our logo related poll?
Or a:
âIs Saucy actually YoungStevoâ type poll?

âEssendon have responded and stated this is merely a research exerciseâ
That logo looks vaguely like a B58 Hustler. IIRC it was the first supersonic bomber.
Am I reading the tone of Lloyd right, is he turning this into a culture war issue? Is logo design now a âwokeâ agenda?
I hate it so so much. Wtf is with the tick thing?

My guess would be someone was doing a focus group of some sort and going through all the aspects of the brand with stuff like âred and black colours align with the Essendon club brand and valuesâ (strongly disagree to strongly agree), âmilitary aircraft imagery aligns with the Essendon club brand and valuesâ (strongly disagree to strongly agree), ââThe Donsâ nickname aligns with the Essendon club brand and valuesâ (strongly disagree to strongly agree).
They went through the whole process at port a few years ago and the lightning bolt went away because port fans didnât care about the lightning bolt. Not because fossil fuels are bad for the environment or some â â â â .
Some graphic design company or whatever will do their research and find out Essendon fans care about being the Bombers and thatâll be that. Maybe there will be a plane in the logo, maybe weâll join the boring as â â â â shield and monogram group, but if we do it will be because clubs chase trends. Thereâs no woke conspiracy about â â â â â â â jet logos.
