Geelong’s WNBL team has had a name change and a new era beckons.
Geelong United will now be known as Geelong Venom with a new logo.
Venom won out over more than 100 names, which were narrowed down to 14 and then two – Venom or Force.
The club then turned to its fans with Venom winning for its edge, its energy, and identity.
Inspired by Australia’s deadliest snakes, this season and beyond the squad will hit the court representing a name born and built to strike. Every movement
embodies precision and power, combining the lethal accuracy of venom with the unstoppable force of nature. This team thrives on sharp instincts and unyielding confidence, moving seamlessly to dominate every play. Venom runs in their veins: lethal, confident, unapologetic.
“This is a really exciting time for both us, and the WNBL,” Geelong United Basketball chief executive Mark Neeld said.
“When creating our new identity, we wanted to make sure we chose something that fans could really get behind as a strong representation of our region.
“The Geelong Venom re-brand not only matches the new direction of the league itself, but will be a driving force in the future of women’s basketball for our city as a brand that young players can aspire to be a part of through our Geelong basketball pathway.”
