It really is a fantastic Jumper, and obviously us fans really like it too!

I hope the club sees this and can go with it.

(And Titan, i'm glad you were brave enough to take up my suggestion ;) )

This is a cracker! I have preferred the MFC logo than the Demon all along but this version is far more eye catching and a massive improvement from the Shizenhausen Silver Syndicate

has my vote.... NO WHITE !!!!

I'm a graphic designer for Freestyle design. And I have to say, I like the version above.

It meets all the needs the supporters have asked for, but there are two points I would like to share with you.

1. MELBOURNEfc might use this design as guideline, but there is no doubt any submitted design will be that of a professional designer. Who will want to give it a modern touch. Just watch that.

2. This might not be anywhere near matching the AFL's 'sctrict' criteria.

Keep in mind...football... has been around a while...just a tad longer than us apparently *wink*. That which sticks with the hearts of the football follower eminates from his/her understanding and appreciation of this game. Why a "need to go 'modern. I cant recall recall too many designs that have attempted a "popualrist's" inflection that have lasted any distance nor garnered any respect. In reality those (designs ) that stay with the supporters are those built upon the traditions of the respective club. They have credibility.

This is only an observation...not a criticism :)

we ARE the M F C !! ;)

My only criticism of it is that there are a few younger supporters that I've shown the picture to, that don't like it because it "looks too much like Carlton's." Those who know of our history, and also about Fitzroy's jumper, etc. obviously won't think that, but it might be something to consider.

Melbourne kids who only hate Carlton cause their parents do, might also dislike anything that reminds them of that club.

That's a good point Chook, however I do remember reading earlier this year that Carlton was scrapping that jumper anyway, so that problem might fix itself. Well, at least I hope so.

(And Titan, i'm glad you were brave enough to take up my suggestion ;) )

No worries 45. So far it looks like it was a good suggestion too, with 41 out of 42 votes going for it (97.62%). I hope that trend continues.

I do hear your thinkings here. The clash jumper..is a clash jumper..it has a function to fulfill. Whilst an opportunity to put on a slightly different face I think there are still many many areas where the Demon Imagery is better suited. This paraphanalia and product ought to do enough ( if done well) to sate nay yongens heart's desie for all things DEMON :)

Personally I like a footbal jumper to be a footbal jumper..not a calamitous collision of efforts neither accomplsihing as a roving billboard or a contrasting player's apparel.

I think we can do both..promote the MFC and the fact we're Demons...just dont do it with a 'corny' jumper !! Players cant surely fell a lot of pride wearing somethig that looks like Reject Shop's pajamas !!

yep, they will probably completely F$%# it up... ;)

And having taken pure elegant effective simplicity and turned it into a overly convoluted complex ineffective mess...they can become an AFL midfield coach! ;)

even without the blue on the side (if the afl have poles up their *****) this would still be good

question: has any club really ever had an alternate strip the people have liked?

Apparently the Filth quite like theirs !!! :lol::lol::rolleyes:

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
