The Brisbane Lions logo represents the merger of two former clubs, the Brisbane Bears and the Fitzroy Lions, forming a unified identity within the Australian Football League (AFL). The stylised lion head in the logo symbolises the Fitzroy Lions heritage and reflects strength, courage, leadership, and pride, while also serving as a continuation of Fitzroy's historical identity in Australian rules football. The combined identity of the club is further reinforced through its colour scheme, which incorporates elements from both predecessor clubs to represent continuity and unity. The lion imagery is central to the branding and has become a defining symbol of the club's modern era. Overall, the logo reflects the Brisbane Lions' identity as a merged club with a shared history, strong tradition, and competitive presence in Australian rules football.
