    Footscray is back for the week for retro round.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

        Footscray is our identity. We are born out of its soil.
        A Smorgan marketing team sabotaged our true identity and gave us robo dog.
        Our soul is Footscray betrayed by corporate thinking.

            That may be true but without the rebrand our club would not exist in its current form.

                Apart from the different name, I very much doubt that. Smorgo's lot got the gig because the previous board were unable to keep their eyes on the bottom line. Hawthorn , St Kilda, Collingwood have managed to dominate the eastern, southern and northern suburbs without having to adopt a newer id. We'll never know. Current solvency is as a result of good governance, regular finals appearances and the Premiership hasn't hurt. We'll never know, though.

                        Great to have our true name and identity back in the spotlight.

                                        I wanted the old school Bulldogs emblem on it somewhere.
                                        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                                I hope everyone that gets to the game can get a classic "FOOTSCRAY" chant going.

                                                It feels good, rolls off the tongue.

                                                    The ASICS gear has always been a bit meh IMO. Would love a new apparel sponsor.

                                                        Their form rolled over in to their Australian Olympic uniforms imo.

                                                        It feels more like a commemorative jumper than a true retro jumper. If it's for the team of 54 then chuck their names on it somewhere?
