Do you like the new FAI logo?

I think it's mouldy.

**Fr. Murphy** · 26/08/2004, 12:41 PM

Totally agree. is it supposed to represent a futuristic football or golf ball or what

**tiktok** · 26/08/2004, 12:48 PM

I voted No, but I think a third option....

Not really, but it's better than the last effort

might have been closer to the truth

**inexile** · 26/08/2004, 2:02 PM

i think its alright looks like they finally want to bring football into the 21st century now with a bit of luck they might look for a new type of organisation and mentality and the country will really take off

I thinks it is horrible, I think something more traditional looking may have been have been a better idea. Maybe something featuring the irish harp?

at a swish Dblin Hotel yesterday its ****e and the comments by Rooney this morning are sheer bluff about Future Revenue Streams for their new line of Leisurewear.Anyone checked out the new website the eircom League has dissappeared!

**A face** · 26/08/2004, 2:36 PM

The Logo !!

and here is the Website !!

I dont think it is that bad to be honest !!
Guess we'll get used to it, if anything ... i wish that it hadn't changed.

**pete** · 26/08/2004, 2:48 PM

the contempt that the FAI show towards the EL is unreal - if nothing else, the old site had fixtures list & some news, new site is a glorified online sports shop.

While i'm at it Rooney also congradualted Shels (Cork City) on progress in Europe saying "..we have made a goal of getting eL side to group stages of CL & were only 45mins away from it.." I'm not sure who the "we" were or what they did to contribute towards shels relative success...

Come on, give the boys a chance and see what happens. Its a step in the right direction

Anyone remember the website pre WC2002? Mother of God.

I remember writing to Milo Corcoran complaining and he wrote back asking if i would do one myself. I sh$t you not. Ill try dig out the email later.

Ok the logo.... i can kinda see the shamrock symbol in there. Like the Celtic typeface. Its in a football design, yeah grand so far. But WHAT the hell are the bits above it though! What are the sharp objects sticking out of the football? That'd would probably kill you if you tried to head that thing. Thumbs down, but it might grow on me.

**dufcweb** · 26/08/2004, 4:12 PM

i think the website's poor and a major disappointment considering the 90k investment in rebranding. it hardly fires the imagination does it? and you have to go down a level before finding a link to the eircom league section - only to find a blank page. its pathetic really. see the major league's site at www.mlsnet.com for a first class football association site that heavily promotes the national league and clubs.

**eL Bettor** · 26/08/2004, 4:22 PM

Re the new site; the layout is poor enough, I preferred the old website although it would have too sink pretty low to be as dire as the official Waterford United site.

I never knew we won the Fist Division!
We must have started out as a boxing club or something.

**Neish** · 26/08/2004, 5:55 PM

I think its awful but the new jersy is nice

**De Town** · 26/08/2004, 6:02 PM

I cant believe that out of the 39 people who have voted on this poll, that 14 people actually like the crest!!! i think its disgusting! i wasnt very fond of the old 1 but this is 100 times worse!

**ccfcgirl** · 26/08/2004, 6:31 PM

i voted yes

**Eric** · 26/08/2004, 7:11 PM

The 3 stars at the top of the crest are meant to symbolise all the stars of the game in Ireland, from our current senior squad all the way down to the youngest schoolboys!!

Looks crap if you ask me.

Predominantly green and white, not a whole lot of orange in there?????

Also the majority of the merchandise is very rugby based. The polo shirts look like stuff they just robbed off the IRFU and stuck the crest on it. Must say I do like the new jersey though, eircom logo ruins it a small bit but it's a nice jersey.

During Fran Rooneys speech yesterday he said ' we're delighted to be here to intriduce to you our new bland'

Slip of the tongue by Mr Rooney but it could turn out to be the truth!!!!

**yur man** · 26/08/2004, 11:20 PM

if your gonna re-do a crest it shud be clear at first glance what it is

my first thought was 'wtf is that meant to be'

My first thought was ..... it looks like something that the IRFU designed !!
I think we'll get used to it ...... would like to know why it is now a sheild, why that design, etc ..... what was the idea behind each part ?

The site has to improve though .... i meant ... it cant just go backwards !!
