Please, if you're gonna hate on it, look elsewhere.

Typical social media:

Murmurs of conspiracy theories about how the Magpies were voted number one in Australia

Can anyone shed any light on the following (transplanted from the Logo thread)?

5 from the wing on debut wrote:
Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but why has the wrong bird been used? Why use a northern magpie, with more black, rather than the local magpie, which has more white? The northern magpie has no link to the Club.


The magpies all seem predominantly black in the video in that link.

If you have ever been to football park you would find the analogy spot on.

More scandal afoot for Magpies (being voted number 1 in Australia):

Abbotts Booby was noted nearby amongst other things...

Additional:

Just saw Collingwood Football Club has embraced the Magpie Very Happy

Magpies warble but you can find Collingwood'Football Club's tweet on the twittersphere.
