Bears CEO Anthony De Ceglie said the logo was the perfect homage to the North Sydney Bears, while giving a nod to their future in Western Australia. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Perth Bears are a new club; but that will never change the fact that the birthplace and spiritual home of the \u2018Bears\u2019 in rugby league will always be North Sydney.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe truly believe it represents something that both North Sydney fans and West Australian fans can truly get behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
The logo was created by diehard North Sydney Bears supporter and graphic designer Dave Carnovale, who wanted to create a responsible evolution using the Bears DNA.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis logo represents the restoration of the Bears\u2019 place in the game they helped create, resulting in a timeless symbol that bridges heritage with future-readiness,\u201d Carnovale said.<\/p>\n

Bears Chairman Ben Morton said the excitement in Western Australia about the new expansion franchise was growing every day. <\/p>\n
