Doesn't look too bad, but jesus your avatar is gay :lol:

 

[Misty Bee]

No offence, half Man, but that avatar, next to an Eels logo, sort of sacriligeous don't you think?

Look,if you are subtely trying to tell us that you are from a different gender preference to us, hey, I'm happy for ya. But if you want a 'statement', for gods sake use Rob Halford as an avatar!

can't a man be a fan of prince without people raising questions about his sexuality?!?

oh wait, i see your point. i'm changing to something else stat hahaha

 

[bartman]

Thanks Halfie, very crisp logo image.

And don't let the pressure get to you - you pick whatever avatar you want! (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

 

[MR GEORGE]

What is the deal with the green? :?:

The "round eel" (premiership winning) logo had a green stripe down the back of the eel's head. It disappeared in later versions.

 

[DIEHARD]

Thanks alot mate, I didn't even realise. A new bit of trivia for me.

this green is much better than the green we had last season

 

[DIEHARD]

I would have liked to see Parramatta return to an updated circle logo though.

what green you talking about, Halfy?

I'm pretty sure, but not certain though I suppose, that the current logo has no green.

Me and Dust spewed up big time about that when they changed. It was an important but vastly undervalued part of the logo, and personally I have always thought that was should have a very tiny bit of green somewhere on the jersey, even it was pretty obscure.

Jokes aren't that funny if you have to explain them...............

That's quite (too?)clever. I had a good laugh even though it had to be explained! :lol:

The green was only there because Fitzy, typically on the cheap, used a bodgey printer to run up the logo back in '77, and the green was merely where the blue and gold dyes ran!

It has no heritage value whatsoever. Piss it off!

That's also very funny! :lol: I can just imagine that happening...

 

[The Engineers Room]

The green represents the sludge covered eels that still survive in the Parramatta River.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Nope it represents the hallowed grass of the north hill and thus it should always be there.

No matter what people's opinions, it was part of the logo when we started our run to glory in the late 70s and 80s, and thus has a very important, if often overlooked, place on the logo.

The fact that it has returned is also another indication that some tradition is being brought back to the Club. I get the feeling the jersey might be a bit more traditional than the last, and hopefully we can all get that confirmed next Tuesday
