Not sure how it would ever be incorporated unless it was as a pre-match warm-up jersey or training jersey but I would love to see the Sharks revisit the design sported during the run to the final of the 2015 edition of the Auckland Nines. I’ve never really been a fan of ‘busy’ jersey designs but this is a guilty pleasure.View attachment 33877

100% agree. Excellent design with enough white space for the sponsor integration without the need for a box. Should bring it back.

I much preferred this one.

This was fun. I've gone with a modern take on the 80s logo. View attachment 33838

Pretty sure I posted this in here a while ago, but I reckon a modernised version of the circle would be sweet. Something like this. Got the tradition of the circle but still the modern fierce shark

I might be in the minority here, but I like the colour of the shorts. I would like to see a total blue strip for next season.

Does anyone have pics of the blue playing strip in the '80s?

Wouldn’t mind for a one off, or with the indigenous kit or something, but now I think it’d look to much like the Titans. And black justlooks too good with light blue

I love nostalgia and hate change as much as the next guy, but the new logo is infinitely better. If you’d never seen either logo before there’s no way you’d say the old one was better

You could probably say that about a lot of things, though. There's something to be said about a bit of heritage imo.

Yeah of course, but we also can’t just stay in the past. Don’t get me wrong, I love the classic Bulldog, but without the nostalgia effect, it really is a goofy looking dog. And yeah, the new one is very clean and modern, and probably a little bit too minimalistic, but in a year or so it’ll become familiar, and in 20 years when they release another new logo everyone will be begging for them not to change it

Yeah I disagree, when I think of iconic sporting brands plenty of them haven't changed their logo for a very long time. Prefer keeping logo as is and home jersey relatively unchanged. Go nuts with away strips.

I have mixed thoughts on a new logo. I’d rather keep the current one unless I saw something I think I better. Youll never please everyone.

But I do think you can revamp the logo without losing/diminishing your history

A few years ago I was all in on wanting a new logo. But now I’m probably more on the keep it as side. I’m yet to see any suggestion or concept that would actually be an upgrade.

A few tweaks to the current one could be good though, maybe a new font…

Yeah I like the current crest and font, but never been a huge fan of the current Shark. But you look at say Shutterstock for Sharks logos, and there is nothing better. You either need a genius designer or switch to something totally different like a Shark fin design.

If we were tweaking the logo, I would consider a grey shark rather than a blue shark. And incorporating 1967 somewhere. And maybe changing the text to incorporate it more into the crest, to make it easier for the logo to be used.

Not sure it looks as good on the jersey though:
