Alternative Strip Suggestions

[Yencks 8]

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.

[Dee Dee 1,060]

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!

[beelzebub 22,707]

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

[45HG 1,539]

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

Not great at designy stuff though

or...

haha

[Spaghetti 264]

lol, love the neita one!

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.

[Tim 3,000]

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.

[CarnTheDees 52]

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.

SOmething like this?

[Gouga 528]

Either the inverted strip or royal blue strip. Make it happen!

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.

Superb effort Demon4Life, retro cool and oozes tradition

[furious d 447]

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.

[CarnTheDees 52]

Um, am I missing something?
