Tassie Devils It Is
Announced today the new Tassie team will be called the Tasmania Devils. Apparently some talk with Warner Bros re: Trafe Mark laws which, I read, was made a lot easier once Warner officials realised that there was actually an animal called the Tasmanian Devil -making Amy claims, I suspect, much more difficult. Also, that there is already a team in Tassie with this name and one previously known as this - hence trademark law also would be difficult to apply in Australia at least, given already used and has local meaning (hence Ugg Boots can be used by anyone in Australia as seen as a colloquial term for any boot made of wool- but no where else on the world).
Anyway - just got to get the stadium built.

Re: Tassie Devils It Is
Love the name, not such a fan of the state guernsey though.
Anyways, the club should be a success, just need the stadium sorted out as the AFL has made it clear… no stadium… no team. Election this weekend will be interesting.
Again though off to a good start.
I like the team logo

Fumble House must have contracted the cosa nostra to extort the money outta the Tasmanian people for this idiocy. You said it beatup........no stadium.......no team. Long way to go with this. No doubt The Big Dill will get Scarface Capone and Big Jim Colosimo in to .....ummmmm.........fix this one.

“Now that Tasmania is joining the AFL there is a lot of discussion about their name and how they cant be called the Tasmanian devils, Tazzy Devils or the Taz Devils without the permission of Warner, because they own the copyright.
This is rubbish, Warner own the copyright to the character, nothing more. Not Tasmania, Tazzy, Taz or devil, they apply to real objects, Warner did not make up any of those words (so they are not their creation) and all have been in common use well before Warner was created.
So if the AFL wanted to use the caricature of Warners “Taz” in a logo there maybe be an issue.
But seeing the Warner cartoon looks nothing like a Tasmanian Devil I doubt that would happen.
But there is No other issue, and the AFL registered the relevant names ages ago.”
I’m not too sure why a roofed stadium is part of the deal, but it certainly appear that it is.
Long term it will be of benefit to Hobart, but is it necessary?
Been cited that weather is a concern but the AFL play games there now without issue and Hobart has an average of 87 rainy days per year, but Melbourne has an average of 139 rainy days, with more games played at the MCG with no roof.
Maybe better to upgrade both Tazzie ovals in the short term.
If the roofed Stadium is an absolute requirement should be a least 30,000.
That being said, it would be a very short term government, that denies Tasmania an AFL team.
The name: expected, nothing much else really considered.
The logo: fine
The Jumper: not surprising but I preferred the original SOO jumper.
Go tassie.
Now for no. 20.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
Rugby league, Australias most popular game in some of North Eastern Australia.

Re: Tassie Devils It Is
Think you may be right here. Can’t see the AFL scrapping the team - and may do up existing stadiums. All depends on the election.azif wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 7:27 amjust like the gabba toss offBeaussie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 6:34 amLove the name, not such a fan of the state guernsey though.

The Big Dill has said, '.....no stadium, no team'. Pretty clear that. I mean surely The AFL wouldn't tell bald face lies lolololololololol!!!!!!! The current government are getting shaky on the deal and Labor has stated if they win the upcoming election they'll scrap the current stadium deal and do another one.
The Big Dill will have the extortion squad down there quick smart if this goes bad for him. I'd be backing the stadium to be built on past performance. I mean Scarface and Lefty can be very persuasive lolololololololol.

Re: Tassie Devils It Is
Depends on the contract I guess - which are binding across governments - I’m sure there a substantial fines if it doesn’t go ahead.

Re: Tassie Devils It Is
Wow, blown away by the interest in the new Tassie team. Good luck any politician saying they are not in favour of the planned stadium. Way to go Tasmania

That wax the read I was getting with them emphasising the “foundation” when taking a out the jumper.
