Parra to revert to old emblem

Posted by Dachsy on December 14, 2009 at 7:18pm

Hi guys/gals,I've been an avid visitor/reader of this site for the last 12 months and thought it about time i joined and made a contribution. Last weekend i was informed that the mighty eels are poised to announce that they are officially reverting to their old emblem, that is, the 80's aggressive eel. This person also said that the jersey will also change to an 80's version (i'm not sure which one). Now of course the obvious question is how does the source know this, and how reliable. The answer to the first question is that the source knows the graphic designer who has been commissioned to design the logo and jersey. How reliable, well unfortunately i can't be sure, however i thought someone out there might be able to add to this......1eyed eel perhaps?

yeah i knew about this too.......

and it is for 2011 because the 2010 jersey has already been made( same design with no collar and "pain away" as the new sleeve sponsor).

i personally love our current jersey and would rather just keep this one. i do know that the 80's symbol and jersey is long term because ozzy said that he thought it would be a great traditional thing.

Hi Champ. Well firstly,welcome to 1eyed and I hope your source is correct as I was devastated when our club said goodbye to our 80's emblem back in the good ol days. I hope if we do get it back WE KEEP IT!! Go PARRA in2010 & beyond. Cheers

i think the current style jersey is great, why change it, keep this design, in 30 years time this will be our traditional jersey which we won the 2010 grandfinal in. yeah! Change the logo back though, not a big fan of the current design, needs some aggresion!

  Yeah! Craig...Agreed. Let's keep the jersey the same but get the 80's logo back where it belongs.

I wouldn't mind going back to the jersey we had in 1996 - 2000. That was a pretty good one IMO

they could wear a plain yellow shirt for all i care, eels fan for life nothing will ever change that, i go to watch the pride and passion of the eels not what jersey they have on

Fan of the jersey, not of the logo. I think it would be awesome if we got our old logo back. Going to buy next years jersey, pretty sure we are going to have some happy times in it as parra supporters!
