West End Flag comp

[-]

Is the bloke who won it a poster on this site?

[MightyEagles]

Can't be me, has to be a westies fan.

[Rushby Hinds]

The designer of the Bays flag is one of the more attractive Snouts, and does indeed post on here. "Thumby" the Tiger is also on the flag apparently.

I attended the ceremony and had a chat to the winner. I don't know if he posts on here, but he does on the Westies forum regularly.

Top bloke.

We won something at last

[RoosterMarty]

First time I'd heard about the idea.. good innovation though, great to see something like this done for SANFL footy.

An attractive Snout? Does such a mythical creature exist? Maybe we should have 'em stuffed...

hee hee... i created the glenelg flag! unfortuantly, they took of the snouts louts logo and put a west end draught logo in its place! boo them!

[Wedgie]

I think they were all pretty ordinary, perhaps if they offered a decent prize they might have got some quality.

West: emblem doesn't look a thing like a blood hound, stupid.
Bulldogs: just their emblem stuck on a blue background, boring.
Glenelg: lots of triangles for no reason with normal emblem, yuk.
North: not even the same Vee they wear on their guernsey, stupid and boring.
Norwood: not even their up to date emblem, stupid.
Port: emblem on guernsey, boring.
South: When the hell did they get a 3rd colour? Besides that oversight just the old emblem with SA on god knows what background, stupid and boring.
Sturt: boring emblem on boring background with AFL posts added, WTF and boring.
Eagles: WWTFC more prominent than an eagle on a badge, boring but ironically one which is a bit 'different' and came last!!

At least the Westies design was original which is why Im assuming it won, well done to the lad that one it, showed a bit of imagination at least.

That explains why most of them are boring, it sounds like they might have been butchered by West End/SANFL to suit their own purposes, certainly puts a bit of perspective on them, my criticism then is to West End/SANFL.

[bay_girl23]

mine was actually changed a bit... the eagles supporter also told me that his was changed quite a bit too. i was very disappointed that they took the snouts logo off... but what can you do?

Yeah exactly bay_girl, but at least you helped in a bit of promotion for the Bays and the SANFL, disappointing they were changed, I'd prefer to see the originals.

I'm assuming they may have not wanted anything too extreme or different which is a shame, I could base one or 2 on Tshirts I've made over the years and even better a Grog Squad flag with a drunken Rooster holding a can of West End would be great!

Should be the Vee we wear though.

Yeah, maybe, I wouldn't have an issue if we did but the flag should match the guernsey.
Personally I'd prefer one of the pre Patterson Vees but do like that one too.

[spell_check]

I don't think those guernseys were in 1st to last order - just that the winner was on top and the rest were in alphabetical order. Having said that, there were a mixture of good and not so good designs, but if they were modified, what's the point of deciding if they were worthy of being there or not?

I think you'll actually find wedgie they placed the winner up top and all others underneath in alphabetical order. Have another look at today's paper and correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise Eagles wouldn't be last although not one of the best I thought it was at least a little creative. This is not me with just another ridiculously biased comment it's what I truly believe.

[redandblack]

Good to see such a positive post from you about this, Wedgie

Can you tell me why Westies flag should have a bloodhound on it?

The flags are in alphabetical order, except for the winner.

Congratulations to all the club winners for a great effort.

[Wedgie]

ehl, I agree the Eagles one was one of the more imaginitive.
r&b, I would have thought Westies emblem was a blood(hound)?
Although different, I'm not sure what that animal on the winning flag was.

PS Guys, thanks for clearing up re the alphabetical order.
IMHO(in no particular order) the better ones were Port, West, Glenelg, North and Eagles but as I said I think West End's efforts were all pretty ordinary.

Just as an eg I like something different like the 2 Tshirts I've put out for rocketrooster.com over the years:





Or perhaps something different again with:



The Grog Squad T-shirts are better again and better still, most of them promote the Japanese beer made at Hindmarsh!

Mind you, if you have to buy a carton of Japanese beer to enter I'd be in trouble there and then.

[Wedgie]

Here's one I'd like for the Tigers, simple, different but cool:
