Essendon have announced the launch of their new logo for the 2022 season, which will commemorate the Bombers' 150 years as a football club.

โ€œWhat weโ€™re going to be celebrating in our 150thย year is weโ€™re going to be celebrating the 1200 players who have played in the red and black.

โ€œWe also want to celebrate the millions of supporters whose lives have revolved around the Essendon Football Club.โ€

The Bombers have also announced the incoming eight-part documentary titled The Bombers: Stories of a Great Club,ย which will include a plethora of past and present players, coaches and staff.
