Interesting... for some reason I already had the version with the Italian flag as my logo in my little logo database that I never finished..

I don't really see this as being 'the flag' even though it is consistent with it. More like a heritage tri-colour to me.

I think it's a terrific logo to be honest. A lot going on there. Green/white/red: where it began. Black and white stripes: another heritage link. The tradtional ball stitch design - our place in the game's history. The kangaroo - we're Aussie afterall. Zebra... more origin story. Those two distinct animals of different history embracing each other over a football. That very football representing that the coming together is a moment from long ago in history. Then on top of that, stars for championships and year which is what new clubs MAX OUT at in terms of symbolism in their crest.

I don't think modern marketing, focus groups etc really have a handle on how to make something like this anymore.

yes very much agree todays so called brilliant marketing is no where as good as this ol logo/badge.
Don't see it as being the "flag" per say but the flag colours syas it all of the clubs origins and founding DNA mixed with the aussie flavour.
It all blends in perfectly.

The Lowy benelovent order decreed that it was inappropriate for clubs to have national smbols in club crests because it distracted everyone from seeing the Star of David in the Hakoah logo

NCIP was the icing on the "new football" cake but in fairness to Lowy David Hill and the gimps at Soccer Australia were the pioneers of blatant downright un-constitutional racism in the 90s. What happened to migrant founded soccer clubs in this country wouldn't fly in any other western country in the world.... Australia is inherently a conservative racist society we just dont like to openly talk about it because it's not polite.

Great badge I agree... Iconic and well done to them for bringing it back - FORZA JUVE....

I don't know how I feel about South doing something similar though, as much as I don't really like our current crest, we have been using it for 30 years now. A refresh is long overdue and a "nod to the past" would be fantastic... I ve been told it's "on the cards" lets see what they come up with?

Sounds like a remnant of the pathetic NCIP. One of the most racist things I've ever seen yet openly supported by the lapdog football media.

Thats right, most of those clubs had to re-badge in the late 90s and 00s. Going as far back as David Hill era.
