Malcolm, Please Heed the Call

"Dear Malcolm,You may have recently become aware of a group called ‘The Lions Roar’ which is pushing for a return to the classic, premiership-winning lion logo on the guernsey. I am writing as a premium adult gold member to urge you to listen to their message and change the guernsey back from the paddlepop design to the lion which we all got behind a decade ago.My reasons for wanting this change have been set out in detail in a few previous emails (which I sincerely hope have already been read...

May 27, 2013Malcolm HolmesCEOBrisbane Bears-Fitzroy Football Club LtdDear Malcolm,I am a Melbourne-based member who rarely misses a game (member number xxxxxxx)I am very pleased with the direction of our team, and encouraged by the form and endeavour of our young squad. I want to make my voice heard on two issues here:Please bring back the old jumper (or hold a members’ vote) as soon as is financially viable to do so. There is nothing wrong with admitting to a mistake. Please do something about the lack of games in Melbourne. It’s...

Loyal Lion

I am a 61 year old member and have been a supporter/member of the Lions since 1960. As a Fitzroy member l always loved our proud and ancient Lion, and was very happy to see this Lion on the new Brisbane Lions jumper in 1997.We must create our own history and tradition!! Old AFL clubs like collingwood, essendon, richmond, melbourne and geelong have tradition. The Brisbane Lions with our original jumper had tradition. The tradition of the original Lion, not some lollypop, ridiculous and bad taste lion.Please bring back the...

Listen to the people

To the Board of the BLFC,I am a lifelong supporter of the Fitzroy and Brisbane Lions Football Club. I reside in south west country Victoria and you will not find a more passionate and loyal supporter. In 2009 a decision was made without proper or any consultation to change our gurnsey and emblem to what we see today. From that moment in time numerous other reckless decisions have also had a negative impact on our success both on and off the field. My message to you the board of our...

Let me support the club!

My stepfather and I have been Lions members for 17 years and will always support the club! But changing the guernsey that we had years of success in was disrespectful and a cash grab.I have worn the same guernsey to ever game for the last 10 years. As you can imagine its getting quite old and for the past few years I've wanted to replace it. However I refuse to pay to wear the ridiculous looking thing currently being worn by the players. Change the guernsey back and I will...

29 May 2013The BoardBrisbane Bears and Fitzroy Football ClubPO Box 1535Coorparoo DC QLD 4151To the Board of the Brisbane Bears and Fitzroy Football ClubGUERNSEYI wish to highlight my concerns regarding the current guernsey worn by our great football club. I acknowledge that I have sent previous correspondence of this nature but felt it timely to reiterate these concerns in another desperate plea for action.My feelings towards the guernsey highlight a concern about the cultural thinking (or lack thereof) behind some of our decision making. We had our inaugural hall of...

Offer us our chance to speak

To whom it may concern,As a paid up member of the Brisbane Lions, I believe it is my right to have a say on matters that greatly affect the football club. Especially when decisions are to be made on something so intrinsic to the cultural identity of a football club as the teams playing guernsey.The current Lions guernsey is divisive and has been since it’s inception.I believe it is time for paid up members like myself to be offered the chance to have our say on whether the previous guernsey...

Save the jumper

"This letter was sent to the club 4/3/2010Dear Lions,As a melbourne based member it is extremely sad how things have evolved in the court room between BLFC and Fitzroy. Such quotes from Brisbane's QC stating fitzroy supports have shrunk if not vanished and fitzroy is a club thats gone under is concerning. After all, wasn't this new logo suppose to increase membership rates for its new era. I believe it will do more harm than good. Yes the membership rates are up from last year, clearly because of the recruiting strategy...

About time!

I've come across this site after seeing people talking about it on Twitter. All I can say is about time someone started up something like this! It seems every Lions fan I've spoken to thinks the current guernsey is an embarrassment yet no action has been taken. Thankfully this will hopefully change that. I heard on the club's Fancast last week that apparently there are administrative costs involved with changing the guernsey. Well I'll pitch in $100 to help out with that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.Please,...

To the Brisbane Lions Administration,I have been a member of the Brisbane Lions since 1997. I have sat through probably 200 or more live Brisbane Lions games in this period. I have been there for the massive defeats as well as the amazing victories. I have bought countless items of merchandise, including several guernseys. I have even been involved in the sponsorship of players through the years.In short, my life has revolved and continues to revolve around supporting the Brisbane Lions. It is with this in mind that I write...
