    Very intersting article on the Roosters website well worth a read

    Super article that and speaks directly to why I started supporting this club. Will be interesting to see the emblem vote count after a few more days.

        Good read , the eastern suburbs logo is my favourite too. I know most of us old fellas still think of us as Easts , I wonder what the younger fans refer to our club as.

          The 80s emblem is my favourite, but I did like the centenary one too.

            I still look at the 95-99 emblem with disgust. On the other hand the 78-94 one still makes me warm around my loins.

              the new one's my favourite - we've had a couple of pretty good decades with it but i like how they use the older one as well on stuff

                Rugby League has garnered some of the most unique team mascots, emblems and logos in Australian sport which of course includes the Sydney Roosters.
                ..it’ll be interesting to see

                  I too prefer the 1978 to 1994 version, as this was the one in place when I started supporting the club and team, closely followed by the earlier one and centenary one. I like the fact that the 100th season one has "est. 1908" on it - the only one that does. The Sydney City emblem is the worst IMO, but it is worst only in a relative sense. They are all good.

                  Some people believe supporting the Roosters
                  is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed
                  with that attitude. I can assure you it is
                  much, much more important than that.

                    Agree.

                    I like all of them including the Sydney City one except for the word 'City'. But if I had to choose, it would be the 79 to 94 followed very closely by the current angry Chanticleer.

                    Think the survey reflects similarly.

                      I am liking the use of the 78 to 94 Rooster emblem and the word 'Easts' on a lot of our merchandise, training gear and background sponsorship boards.

                      The Steggles rooster doesn't hurt either.

                        We should still be giving the man of the match a dozen roosters!

                        They can present them on ground following the game.

                          I also vote for the Chookpen to have a subtitle, 'sun-risers'
