That's what I always thought with the devils. Surely melbourne wouldn't be ok with it. Would we be OK if they called themselves the houndogs? Or even the poodles?

That all depends on where they're based doesn't it? Given they'd want to cover the whole state, I'm sure they'll be called Tasmania.

Well you see devils and demons are actually quite distinct. While both originate from the lower evil planes the Devils are lawful while demons are chaotic. Demons don't discriminate with who they attack and why thus they constantly invade the 9 Hells through the river Styx. The devils are the first line of defense against Demons and thus many see them as a necessary evil including the Celestial forces.
Nothing like the similarities between breeds of dogs.

Stuff Warner. If concerns about buy-in given the north / south divide are real, 'Islanders' could be a unifying cry.
Lean into those 'us against those uppity mainlanders' vibes.

Why would they deliberately reduce the size of their overall market (which is not huge to begin with) and also reinforce the north-south divide which has thwarted their previous bids? This is a whole of Tasmania team and the bid has been prepared and promoted accordingly - if it wasn't they would not be granted a license.

Eagles, Hawks, Magpies and Swans
Lions and Tigers
I think that precedent has already been set.

The entire net worth of City Hall would be a rounding error on Warner Bros books.
Ironically, this is an area that KW-W would absolutely excel in and I would trust her 100% to get the best possible result. Not so much Polo Gil.
It'll be as effective as the hill folk protesting the McDonald's being built in Tecoma by going to McD's head office in the US.

Tasmanian Devils - just has to be. I don?t think there will be any confusion with Melbourne Dees as long as logo and mascot are based more so on the native animal.
Something like the looney tunes Taz, without breaching copyright there either!!

I say their colours be black and red like the animal. Maybe they could have a black jumper and a red sash.

I think you'll find I'm actually so pro-union that I hate big unions in the proud tradition of leftist infighting.
