I like it.
1.Believe- self explanatory and comes from a grass roots movement.
2.Be seen- get your arse to the game, buy mech and wear it with pride.
3.Become- If you do 1 & 2 you will become a Shark.

The first thing I thought was that it was in line with believe campaign. A united club embracing the members and fans, can only be a good thing. Very positive in my eyes.

I reckon it's fantastic. It shows that an initiative started by the fans can become something much bigger.
It shows that we can all make a difference if we BELIEVE!:borat

That's funny. There's no time like the present? (and a good thing too in some ways). There's no point crying over spilled milk??Seriously though, I like it and think slide has nailed the significance.

i like this slogan good work fellas,
Believe might have been an idea created by the good peeps on this forum and too sum it might seem like a small difference made, but sometimes the smallest detail sometimes make the biggest difference and without belief we might not be around for much longer, believe might be a small fish in a big pond, but we need that small fish in that bigpond with the help of our supporters to help it turn into a monster shark to bite those who dont have belief in our club right on the arse, tk comes to mind first he needs to be eaten alive.... onwards and upwards UP UP CRONULLA........

At first glance of this comment i laughed and probably agreed. But now I think about it, the future did start last year. This is part of the new sharks. Its not a slogan that has been thought of blindly, away from the fans, ignoring past mistakes, the present and the community. The slogan is as a result of the hard work many people have put in over the last 12 months.
It shows a connection and coming together of sharks supporters, and shows alot of potential for the club in those three words.
I like it.

I suspect you would not have pointed that out, fitz, if you did not feel it was important to clarify?
To clarify:
My problem with it is that aurally, it is clumsy- i.e., when you hear it (or for that matter read it and hear it in your mind) it doesn't flow. Its not catchy. It may express the right sentiments, but maybe we should have chosen one or two, rather than three.
I wasn't pleased to see 'believe' involved, though its easily the strongest term of the three. The best way to negate the positive, organic flow of a grassroots movement is surely to tie it to the establishment. And let's be honest- the club does not have a great record of getting its message across.
I don't mean to have a go at anyone or at the club, that's just my opinion.

How does it not 'flow'? It flows perfectly imo

AB, I think I know where you are coming from, however I do disagree with your reasoning.
I think it flows rhythmically, be it written, aurally, or in the minds 'ear', and it does so by using alliteration and rhyme.
Conversely, an extra 'and (&)' could make it flow even better imo.
Test:
BELIEVE, BE SEEN & BECOME
BELIEVE & BE SEEN & BECOME
Clap your hands three times whilst (separately) saying the two phrases above aloud. Make sure each clap corresponds to the blue consonants.
You can notice in the above demonstration that the rhyme comes from the 'e' sound being attached to each of the three beats (hand claps).
Adding the extra '&', would further the rhythmic alliteration and rhyme imo.
Also, by concluding the phrase with 'become', leaves it open ended.
Become...?
At a later date the campaign can add more clarity (or definitions) to 'become'.
As a side note, BUZPosts are far easier to understand aurally, rather than written
