Tasmania Devils AFL Club Unveils Name, Colours, and Logo at Official Launch Event
The much-anticipated Tasmania Devils AFL club was formally introduced to the public, showcasing its name, colours, and logo at a grand event held simultaneously across various locations in Tasmania.
Named the Tasmania Devils, the club will sport the iconic colours of myrtle green, primrose yellow, and rose red, paying homage to the rich football tradition of the state. The team’s unique guernsey features a map of Tasmania in the center, with a striking red ‘T’ emblem.
This unveiling marks a significant milestone for Tasmania’s football community, as they edge closer to their historic entry into the AFL in 2028. The Tasmania Devils have long been associated with the state’s football heritage, symbolizing resilience and determination.
Chair of the Tasmania Football Club, Grant O’Brien, expressed his delight at the overwhelming community support shown during the launch events, emphasizing the importance of this moment in the state’s football history.
The negotiations with Warner Bros Discovery over the use of the Devils’ name resulted in an amicable agreement, allowing the club to adopt its preferred moniker without hindrance.
The Tasmania Devils logo, featuring a profile of a Tasmanian devil, represents the state’s unwavering spirit and authenticity. Described as ‘The Wild,’ the mascot embodies the fierce and enduring characteristics of Tasmanian football.
As Tasmania prepares for the introduction of the AFL team, plans for a state-of-the-art 23,000-seat roofed stadium at Macquarie Point in Hobart are in motion. The stadium, a crucial part of the team’s entry agreement, holds significant importance for the club’s future.
The Tasmania Devils have already released foundation memberships and are set to begin offering merchandise in the coming months, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Tasmanian football.
