Magpies told to do the right thing on club logo
By Patrick Bartley
September 16, 2003
| Quote: | Some Collingwood symbols are not sacred after all. Months after vowing never to surrender its black-and-white guernsey, the club has bowed to pressure to change another potent Magpie symbol: the club logo.
As Collingwood prepared yesterday for Saturday's preliminary final, it confirmed that the Federal Government had asked it to redesign the logo because it breached protocol on the positioning of the Australian flag. |

Yeah the journos are desperate to get into us about anything. The logo has undergone changes over time and the change is simply to have the Aussie flag moved from one side to the other. OMG !! P. Bartley needs to get some "Real Footy" into his reporting. No conspiracy theories needed here.

FFS at least we have the flag in our logo.
It is ok for people to burn it but golly gosh imagine if the positioning is wrong.
What a crock.

| Whoever it was he wrote to their MP about this issue is in the same league as that twat from England writing to the UN human rights division (not an exaggeration) complaining of being called a "Pom". |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we already change it? Didn't it have the Australian flag on the left, hence it was "backwards", somebody complained and we put it on the right to correct it.
Now, some busybody wants to change it again. The flag will end up backwards, then we'll have to change it again. Then another complaint, change it again.
And so on.
And so on.

For probably the first time since 1996, I agree with the Federal Government.
I say, remove the Australian flag from the Club logo altogether.
What has that poxy piece of dishrag got to do with Collingwood anyway?
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
F**K AUSTRALIA ... come on COLLINGWOOD |

Move?
Where?
To Collingwood?
Can't afford the rents in Collingwood. North Fitzroy is the best I can do ... but it's pretty close.
Not bitter ... just poor  |

Spotted a great window sticker today , has the Aussie flag in the corner followed by " If you don't love it , LEAVE "....beautiful  |
Yeah, but was the flag flying forwards or backwards ?
If it was backwards it means "Stay, even if you think our flag is a dishrag." |
