Whats the one thing about the footy club that you love that you would never even contemplate changing. AND ONE THING ONLY!!!

Is it the colors? Being based at Princess Park? Being based in Melbourne? Our theme song? Being called "Carlton"?

For instance, what if we'd make $10 million dollars if we changed our name to the "Carlton Falcons", but our colours etc stayed the same????

Ie, if we were forced to merge for some horrible reason, what would you definitely vote to keep?

Whats the one thing you'd keep?

For me it would be the colours. I don't mind the idea of an away strip thats different, but the Navy Blue and White monogram are sacred. Even if we relocated to Cairns for some stupid reason, if the main strip was the same, I could tolerate it.

I would HATE it if we had to relocate. That would suck the big one.

The one thing I would never change is the logo.
And yet they persist in changing our identity every moon cycle.

My mind cannot prioritise between the colours and the theme song.

No Navy Blue? Can't comprehend that.

No Bup-Bedup-Beduh? Can't comprehend that either.

The PRIDE we have in our great club. Well....most of us... :wink:

So, we're shit. But we're still f*cking proud of our boys. Well, I know I am.

Other than that, would have to be the colours (well...colour singular) and logo, which they are runing as we speak.

That's what it's coming down to for me as well. Probably the colours...no, wait, the song...but the colours are so iconic...da da da da dah...I DON'T KNOW, DAMMIT! :cry:

The CFC. There's nothing better than seeing someone streaming down the wing with the big CFC...



If we relocated to Carins I would be wrapped. I'd more there in a hearbeat. And I daresay fullmont may follow.

Our history. Makes it much easier to put other people in their place with a history like ours.

Lucky you can't change history. Unless we get conquered by the Indonesians or the North Koreans and have to rewrite our anglo-saxon links (for those of us anglo-saxon) as contracts with the Evil Capitalist Oppressors.
