Growing up, I cherished the moments watching the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs play, and the 2004 Bulldogs Jersey stands out as a masterpiece from an era where our team not only played outstanding rugby but also carried an emblem that embodied our pride and spirit. This logo is more than just an image; it represents countless memories and the pride of generations of fans.

The logo we have warn since is also a great logo, a modern version of a classic emblem that we proudly wore to many grand finals.

The recently announced 2026 logo, however, feels like a step backwards. For many of us, purchasing and proudly wearing a Bulldogs jersey hinges on carrying the emblem of our beloved team, not just any newly designed logo.

The significance of maintaining our iconic logo extends beyond personal preference. A logo encapsulates the history and future aspirations of the club and its fans. Altering it drastically risks losing this continuity and connection with the grassroots community, potentially affecting merchandise sales and diminishing the emotional bond built over the years.

We propose that the Bulldogs' management reconsider their decision and engage with fans through a survey or fan consultation. This approach will not only demonstrate respect for the loyal fanbase but also ensure any changes reflect the collective vision and sentiment of those who wear these jerseys with pride. Additionally, exploring design alternatives that honour our legacy while embracing modern aesthetics would meet the needs of both the club and its supporters.

Sign this petition to urge the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs to retain our iconic logo, which truly represents the heart and soul of our team. Let us work together to preserve the legacy and ensure our pride and identity remain intact for future generations.
