QLD Origin and All Stars jerseys

I really don’t understand why our men’s and women’s teams can’t wear the same maroon jersey

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Cause men and women are different

looks good IMO.

I really like it. Bear looks aggressive as well, not shocked, like so many of the previous Bears logos.

Logo looks mint. Youd have to be a prick to complain about it

CEO on SEN said their colours are red & black & home jersey will be the horizontal hoops jersey released mid-year

I like that it's more "traditional" than the modern logos, and still retains a fair bit of detail.

Recently clubs seem to be going really minimalist.

The only thing I would suggest in the future is some sort of nod to WA or Perth to be "hidden" in the logo, like the Thwannies do.

Since I first saw the logo earlier this morning, I've been waiting for a certain somebody to complain about it - which I am sure they will...

The designer has angled the top of the eyelids on a downward cant, giving the bear hunter eyes rather than stunned with a taser eyes. Smart move...

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Very simple but very good. Well done bears

Should’ve had a Black Swan dangling from its mouth.

 

[sempmrh]

Nailed it.

The other two wordmarks they’ve used are better, though.

The logo just immediately makes sense. This could've ended up being a lot of things, but they were able to make it look both instantly recognisable and familar as the North Sydney Bears logo, but also fresh and modern enough that it looks new.

If it stuck exactly to the old Bear it wouldn't have worked, both for alienating Perth fans and also for not being simple enough for digital use cases. If it veered too much into a new direction it would've alienated North Sydney fans by not being their mascot.

 

[Foreign Legion]

If only all the NRL logos was designed like the Bears...

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Glad the went with Perth instead of just The Bears.

Thanks @Red&BlackBear for the heads-up last week about this.

I think most designers who know the situation of who this club is and the backgrounds coming together to form this club would come up with something similar in design and concept for a logo. I think I posted up my ideas last year sometime, and they're not too far removed from this final one here. Others, I'm sure, would/could have come up with their own variations as well.

Interesting to note that this is the 3rd different version of wordmark, and more closely resembles the initial one released at the Origin game here last year than it does the one it changed to a few months ago. I'm guessing, given how recently that one was released, that perhaps that one will remain as a secondary logo, but it would make more sense to tie in the wordmark logo with the primary logo.

Either way, it looks good, and I think it's the right choice given some of the other versions that were presented over the last 6 months or so.
