Alternative Strip Suggestions

Let's be proactive...let's get as many suggestions up on this board as possible that we can send to the club. They are not going to ask us for our opinion. Let's tell them what we want

I've posted it a lot but here is my suggestion...make more

Inverted Red and Blue

if or when we get a good number of designs i will email the club

 

The inverted red and blue is exactly what it should be. We are the team we love, the team of the RED and the BLUE! Not bloody grey/white/silver.

If its okay for the Pies to just switch their colours around, it should be okay for us. But gee, knowing the AFL, it sure wont be.

Soooo much better than any clash jumper we've ever worn. Simplicity often is everything.

Well done.

 

This is exactly what I would like to see.

Different enough to clash with no other jumper, BUT still the Melbourne Football Club: RED & BLUE!

next best thing to the wobblies changing the colours of their stripes !! ;)


Just in the spirit i thought i'd have a go

Not great at designy stuff though

I know some people bagged it but I always liked

Red provides a different distinction from our clash rivals, and if not that then I'm not adverse to wearing the light blue 70s/80s heritage jumper as a clash strip.

At least those jumpers scream Melbourne, not like the current garbage.

I would be happy with the above with blue numbers, with either blue or red shorts and either blue or red socks depending on who we play.

Can anyone mock up these chnages for me.

We need to keep it as much red and blue as possible and cut out as much white and grey rubbish.

We sould be sending theese designs into the footy show for this Thursday.

I tried finding the pic of the dandenong jumper they wore for 2 years which is a white jumper with a reb and blue yoke, can't quite remember if it looked good, but I think it would still be better than that crappy thing we wore.


Bring back the red job from a couple of years ago. It looked good, it didn't clash.

And we won some games in it. :rolleyes:

Problem with the red one is that it has a demon on it.

And according to the marketing gurus who run our club we are no longer the Mighty Demons!

We are the Mighty fc!

I always thought marketing was a complete [censored], now I'm sure.

I prefer the new logo.

As for jumpers, I like the idea of inversed colours or at worst the royal blue. There's enough white in the white shorts, keep the jumper red and blue.


I would love the club to sell a portion of our away jumpers to sponsors.

Like what the Saints (Pura Light), Blues (M&M's) and Kangaroos (Orange) did.

I know it may make some of you mad, but believe me it is certainly better than relocating, merging or just going into extinction.

The money that could be raised by selling the jumper could be huge. I think that if we develop a strong culture at the club then the profiteering of selling the jumper will be ineffectual. The argument of playing for the jumper certainly went out the window when they adopted the silver jumper.

I can't imagine any company coming up with a design worse than the silver jumper.

For an example, maybe we can start with sporting a green jumper (light green V and dark green underneath) and collect some $$ from Green Energy.

I see where you're coming from, but the examples you've provided are also examples of failed designs. Members of each of those clubs hated those jumpers. I for one would detest seeing the Melbourne football club run out in bright green. We need to remain true to our colours, especially in a year that recognises our history more than any other. Red and blue: that's it.

Haha, come on FC!

It's scary that someone ok'd the decision to remove the Demon and use this white jumper.

Probably just as scary that more than one person thought it was a good idea and that the supporters would accept it. Shows a shocking misjudgement. Just like the removal of the scarf as a gift with the membership.

White jumper, no scarf, no Demon, no promotion in the public, 1 win, injuries, what a shocking 150th year.

I certainly am not suggesting it for this year. It is something I would like to see next year. If, for example, we played an away match on a Friday night we could potentially command huge money to play in a sponsor jumper. The cost of one national ad in that time-slot is huge. Imagine what we could command for 3 hours. I would suggest the club should seriously look at it. I am certain for 500K-750K you would be prepared to watch us play in another jumper. It alone, would wipe out huge potions of our debt.

There are plenty of other clubs out there who have plenty of money without having to have sold sponsorship rights to their jumper. We should be looking at long-term ways of securing finances so that we don't need to wear bright green. Don't know that I'd want our club to sacrifice its identity for money, if only for one or two matches.

Where can i buy one Demon4life. You've made the marketing design team that came up with that silver abomination look like fools. I liked the inverse strip but I love this one.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
