Emblem and colours
Originally, the club favoured the name Melbourne Mavericks with a gunslinger logo holding a fistful of aces. The club officials were all set to go with this until News Limited's
Lachlan Murdoch told them to go with something else because the Mavericks sounded too American. So CEO
Chris Johns and
John Ribot decided to go with the themes lightning, power and storm. The club then became known as the Melbourne Storm.

The Storm was always going to go with the colours of their state,
Victoria. These were navy blue with a white 'V'. But club consultant
Peter McWhirter, from JAG fashion house, suggested that they should also have purple and gold to make their merchandise more attractive. [1] Gold still appears on the logo, but has now been removed from the Storm's home guernsey, where the colours now consist of navy blue, purple, silver and white.
