Re: MCFC buy Melbourne Heart FC (merged)

I agree about a unified branding seems inevitable. It just doesn't work with them playing in red and white does it ? I know they probably won't like that but I don't see how they can stay in red and white and be under Mcfc ownership

If we combine these and sell the sponsorship as a job lot it could make the biggest sponsorship deal in football history

been over in their forum, general consensus is that they've no problem with being Melbourne City but the red and white is non negotiable, at the end of the day it should be up to their fans, I'm sure they could have a blue away kit.

I read the majority of the takeover thread on their forum and got a general impression of their fans. One thing that struck me was that they were pretty much all in agreement about changing the name, but not the colours. It seemed a bit strange that they're all so happy to just bin the name but feel so passionately about the kit. If any Heart fans can shed any light on here it would be nice.

I always believed that clubs should offer 100% exchanges on any and all purchased goods if they were to rebrand.

Light blue is associated with State teams from New South Wales, so a change light blue probably wouldn't sit well with Melbourne-based fans.

I believe the colours of the City of Melbourne are red and white.

Melbourne is a great sporting city - the Australian Open, F1 grand prix, MCG, Melbourne Storm RL and several AFL teams who can pull in some big attendances. The city is sports mad.

Most of us were in favour of a name change to a more traditional football club name. However, our fans love the red and white stripes and we'd hate to share a similar colour to Melbourne Victory and the same colour as Sydney FC. Probably also the mindset from growing up with Aussie Rules, where great pride is shown in the club colours. Also, back in the 90's when my AFL team, the Western Bulldogs rebranded from the previous name Footscray, we kept our club colours Red, White and Blue.

Also try to imagine the situation where your new owners came to your club and attempted to change your kits to red albeit a slightly different shade to Manchester United, I dare say many of you guys would be in favour of that.
