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!

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.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
