Millions of dollars down the drain, and now a legal battle for the name, Melbourne Heart? If the a-league wants to become more respected, then at least put some respectable logos and names out there to promote the league. I mean, i thought it couldnt of gotten any worse then NQLD Fury, but come on, a team that is named after an organ? sigh. Please scrap this whole team name and badge.

Something like South Melbourne Strikers, Melbourne City FC, or even the proposed Sporting Melbourne FC name would have been a million times better then Heart, lol. Thank god there isnt a team like that representing my city.

If the Lord Mayor’s challenge is considered, I’m going to be surprised. I don’t think he will stand a chance in terms of copyright infringement.

As a Victory supporter, I love seeing a inter-city derby. Both club logos are fantastic. What would really make things interesting is that Heart’s W-League side is doing better than the Victory and is challenging the Brisbane Roar for supremacy. Hmmm…

The typography is fairly dull, but the negative space in the graphic element works well.

It looks like a company who would build cyborg Robo Cops logo.

Terrible badge, terrible name.

Cleveland Crunch? Seriously? That’s a breakfast cereal, not a football team!

Meanwhile my long range scanners from here in the UK have been watching the developing Melbourne Victory / Sydney FC rivalry develop into something pretty special, it’ll be interesting to see how ‘the Heart’ fit into the mix, especially as both clubs are centrally based rather than say one East Melbourne one West Melbourne etc. It’s just a crying shame that reports from Aussie fans on the UK Ultras site seem to show authorities even more Orwellian than those here in the UK, with 5 year bans being handed out willy nilly and many without any rea evidence and a near impossible appeal procedure.

Laid back Australia seems to be turning too right wing for my liking, they did the same at this years Bathurst motor race, banning spectators and limiting the amount of alcohol you could take on to the site. New South Wales uber alles? Let’s hope not.

When you have teams named “Roar”, “Glory” and…wait for it…”FURY”, then Heart doesn’t sound so bad after all. The logo is easily the best and most unique in the A-League.
