Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread Dont know if you realized but they decided the name ages ago, im just saying that Melbourne Heart is a bad name.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread I thought they may have, but I wasn't too sure. That'll teach me for being too lazy to check.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread send it in to them then, I dont think Heart is like final yet, they have no colours or anything.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread I believe Heart's pretty official. In fact I'd go further and say that they never would really consider any other name even though you could smear shit on the wall and find a better thing to call a Football team.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread It is official, We already new that, i was just saying that it is a terrible name and that it could be alot better.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread That looks like a logo for a Japanese superhero. 'Heart' is a pretty poor name when you consider that the majority of any team's future supporters are going to be young teenage boys who are probably already derided for liking 'grass ballet' by their rugby- and footy-playing peers.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread Eh, it's the best of a bad bunch. Once they ********ed up by not going with 'United' or 'City' or 'Real Club Deportivo' they were opening the doorway to a galaxy of shit names and we can at least be thankful that it's a dual abstract/concrete noun.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread I dont that logo will really go down to well in boggerball loving melbourne, that H in the logo looks way too much like a set of rugby league or union posts
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread It's more than meets the eye. One could say that the Heart team will have a lot in disguise.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread I cant see this flying for long, its just too simple and garish, in your face, it is obviously some faggy designers wet dream, it has no real substance to it. it is quirky, and it doesnt really say much. People are looking at tradition more these days, and the Heart have gone completely the wrong way with this.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread What the hell? Are they going to play their home games in that new stadium under constuction with GREEN seats? LOL what a mess.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread What a terrible logo. They are targetting viduka and have skoko as a back up option. The best thing they could have done was be based out of the northen suburbs and re did epping stadium into a 20,000 seater and they would have had a decent following. Carn't see people jumping ship now. I'll be staying a victory man.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread you have an epping in Melbourne too? So do we, funily enough also in our northern suburbs. And yes the heart should move out of the cbd of melbourne, and spread the football around somewhere else, you have everything in the cbd.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread Apparantly on the world game on sbs, josip skoko has or will join Melbourne heart
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread vs. Melbourne Heart FC vs. Melbourne Victory FC. The Swan Street Showdown. Coming Soon.
Re: Melbourne 2 Suggested nicknames: Heart The Sashes (if they adapt a variation of River Plate's home uniform) The Sleeves/The Red Sleeves (if they use red raglan sleeves [with an optional red sash] as part of their home uniform) The Bots The Autobots (can also be a supporters group name) The Farts Rats Coronary FC Transformers
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread Are there any Heart supporters yet? I cant see them really getting above 9,000 if their lucky for all their home games, except for when they play Victory, which will then probably be the largest attended game of the ALeague, as it will be just in reality another home game for the victory fans, lets see 8,000 heart supporters plus 22,000 Victory supporters, so around 30,000 for that one. Early days but, the Heart will probably attract more supporters,they will probably end up with about 12-15,000 heart supporters, and 20-25,000 for the victory, for the next ten years anyway. But their off to a shocking start with the name and logo, talk about crueling their chances. I think they went too silly with the marketing, they should have just kept it nice and simple, kept the colours and just called themselves Melbourne City.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread Ah viduka is washed up anyway, let him retire in peace, he has nothing to offer now, thanks for the memorys big fella, you were always exciting to watch.
Re: The Melbourne 2 Thread I actually thought they should have been based in the Western suburbs and tried to lure more fans from Geelong. I am torn....I am new to Melbourne so don't really have strong ties to the Victory but I just don't see the new franchise lasting long being so close to the Victory.
