Our two magpie emblem celebrating 125 years is fantastic...If it did happen and i certainly would have no trouble with it would be thrilled with a permanent emblem featuring two magpies:)

Thoughts ?

As a one-off year like next year I'm happy with it, otherwise I wouldn't want it to be a permanent fixture beyond 2017.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Joffa.

Our current emblem / logo is terrible. Possibly the worst in the league.
A horizontal striped black and white flag? An Australian flag? A weird vertical oval? It's so '90s. This is a good start for a logo change (albeit with just one Magpie). I'm in the process of redesigning our emblem with a designer to get with 'modern' times. Let's face it, our logo looks like crap on apparel. Drop everything but a proud, updated Magpie. More to come...

wow I love our current logo and think its streets ahead of most of the other teams.

whilst I like the new 125 one it does seem to be missing something on the black and white stripes part. seems a bit bare there. prefer the current one.

The only issue I have with the current emblem is the way the black and white flag looks like an extension of the magpie's tail.

I much preferred it when the Australian flag was on the right. It is a shame that design breaches flag bearing protocol or etiquette.

I like our current one. I could do without the Australian flag in there as I don't think it's necessary or adds any value and the little black and white flag has the stripes going the wrong way.

I also like the new one.

If you took the new one, added the oval arch with the Collingwood Football Cub written in it, I reckon you have a keeper to go forward with.

While the stylized cartoonish logos of some other clubs are OK, I like the classic look of ours.

You people are all crazy. Our logo sucks the big one. It should simply be a proud, solo magpie.

My opinion is fact 😉

I used to love the ole logo, the one with the magpie perched on a fence post, reminds me of my two magpies I feed daily up here at Mt evelyn, they perch on our front fence, and I handfeed them, very tame, great part of bird life up here.

I read somewhere that having one magpie is bad luck and that having two or more is actually better. I think we should stick with two and tweak the logo a little.
