I presume these are red jumpers with the blue logos?

"The AFL stipulated that the clash guernsey had to be based on a light colour, hence both options being white."

That worries me.

    The AFL in their infinate wisdom stated before the start of this season that we could not have a red jumper. Hence why we had to go with that god - awful silver/grey jumper.

    I think the club is looking at a; White jumper with Red panels down either sides (on the side of the jumper) & the traditional MFC logo (in Blue) on the middle of the jumper. Yes, this was the jumper the H/S had in a couple od weeks ago - but, it looked to me me.

    Why the hell not? Last time I looked we were still the MFC!!

    I get the feeling Big Jim is really going to push the tradtion of the footy club (& I really hope he does!!) We cant be pushed by the AFL around anymore!!

    It's pretty crap that ours (and it's not just ours, it's other clubs as well) has to be white, yet Essendon are allowed to get away with just making their red sash bigger because it's in their constitution.

    Maybe we should update our constitution to stipulate that we must wear red and blue at all times.

    I do not mind having white on the jumper as long as the top looks good, that silver one looked freaking awful.

    I do.

    Melbourne are red and blue.

    VOTE HERE

    Option A looks like the Dogs and Option B looks like Carlton.

    EDIT: One positive is that the Reebok jumper looks quite good. Melbourne were swimming in their jumpers this year (not just Morton).

    Exactly!

    If Essendon don't need a white alternative, neither do we.

    I hate both those jumpers.

    WHITE IS NOT A COLOUR OF THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB.

    The second jumper, Option B, in Red with a blue MFC logo would be far better and would provide a genuine alternative.

    What a load of crap.

    please dont tell me option A is the best choice??

    it is bogan and will date!

    option B is our original symbol and will never age!!

    OPTION B is the only option

    Further to my previous post, any design put to the vote needs to be shown being worn by a few players, wearing it with shorts, socks and boots on a football field. Even the silver one looked OK on the website but looks terrible on the field.

    I have e-mailed the MFC about this.

    wow... am i the only one who dont mind them at all?

    Maybe its because this years ones were so god dam aweful.

    If we need a predominate white jersey i really like them!

    If anything i would of liked a few more logo options on the jersey but i dont mind that logo, but im guessing if we choose option a, our long club logo would be that hey?

    There's plenty of room for the Demon to make it's way back into the Mfc but this jumper should not be an option.

    It is cartoonish and will appeal to very few.

    The old logo will make our opposition and their supporters pause, and possibly remind them of our heritage.

    That we are the oldest club in the competition.

    God I hope we get Option B, please vote.

  • Quote

    well..both are a big improvement on the pajamas !! I prefer the simpler Option B..I agreee the other one ( A) looks a bit dated to start with and will only be more so. The one using the MFC would always stand test of time..Its simple..sometimes simple is best :)

    At least we get 'some' input...though I notice A is winning..lol...c'mon B...go BEES !!

    I would prefer red, but we are in NO position to be arguing with the AFL over this issue.

    Maybe when we are not such a liability, we can push for that.

    EDIT: Just voted: dead heat - 50/50 split in votes. Vote B people!

    Why can't Melbourne be predominantly red?

    Who would that clash with out of Carlton, St Kilda, Fremantle, the Brisbane Lions and Essendon?

    Essendon.

    It's pretty crap that ours (and it's not just ours, it's other clubs as well) has to be white, yet Essendon are allowed to get away with just making their red sash bigger because it's in their constitution.

    Maybe we should update our constitution to stipulate that we must wear red and blue at all times.

    Agree. Update the constitution. This should of been done 6-7 years ago.

    It is an absolute disgrace that anyone can vote. This should be a member only vote. Absolutely pathetic!!

    No. You're pathetic. When do you write anything positive?

  • Quote

    Im Torn.

    Still have not voted.

    I dont mind them both!

    Demon logo on A is growing on me...

    And the old logo on B is good.....

    Hmmmm....

    our traditional jumper clashing with Brisbane rubbish

    Freo should always be made to wear the alternate white strip against us , they wear it @ home alot anyway

    A whole red strip does not clash with essendon, Carltank or St kilda

    AFL is colour blind!!!!!!!!

    hate both jumpers

    No need to call me pathetic. After being a member for nearly 30 years, I am appalled that we find ourselves in this position as a football club - maybe that is why you see me as a nelly naysayer. However, I am quite positive that onfield we are on the right track. I like the route Dean Bailey is taking. I have issues with the off field stuff.

    My point is, that as a member we should be voting for the jumper rather than moronic Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond supporters logging on and choosing our jumper. We also shouldn't allow Melbourne supporters who do not have a membership the right to vote. Buy a membership and then get the 'right' to vote on issues relating to your club.

    As it stands, this idiot (Idiot crys for Eamon and Steph) on the dole who forked out $300 to see two swimmers can have a vote on the MFC Away strip. How does that make you feel as a Melbourne member?

    By the way, option A is horrible.

    • 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.
