Looks like Brisbane are getting a predominantly Red clash jumper. That red is the regurgitated Fitzroy 1970's color tele version.

Fitzroy's original colors are Blue and Maroon, as is Brisbane Lions home strip. FFC played against the MFC for over 100 years with no confusion that I know of.

The $AFL$ will agree to Brisbane having the regurgitated predominantly red clash jumper, because Brisbane have the $$$ and are an expansion team.

On the other hand the original, and oldest football team in the world, the MFC, cannot have it's original Red because it might clash with "ring-in" expansion clubs.

I know there will be no clash when Melbourne host Brisbane at the G. But that does not excuse the $AFL$ from not allowing a predominant Red clash jumper for the MFC to go with the Red-legs and tradition.

I'll spew if Brissy get Red and we have to have White!!!

Brisbane's change to the Fitzroy jumper should mean there's one less team that our home jumper clashes with. As you said Dees Dayz, the two clubs played for decades with no problem of a clash (mind you so did every other combination of teams).

As its a related thing.. and as some have already mooted ...If any of us get the gong to attend this summit we must emphasise til blue in the face that part of Melbournes image problem is that many see us as not standing for anything..or more importantly..not STANDING UP for anything. Collingwood and Essendon fans love it ( and rightly so ) when they tell the AFL where to get off reagarding jumpers. It shows they have spirit..have backbone and care enough to fight..In stark constrast we wear Pajamas !!

No one will jump on board if we are nothing but Marshmallows coverd in Blacmange !!

As to anyone confusing our logo with any other club..well tough..WE WERE HERE FIRST !!

Melbourne needs to climb down off of the lofty Members stand and get a little Mongrel in it. If kids are confused...educate them.. its not hard ffs !!

We are me1bourne ... first club of the AFL !!

For some reason I can't put pictures up here anymore, my poor avatar has vanished for instance, but I was flicking through the MFC shop website when I found the "new arrivals" section.

Now, am i digging, or does this look suspiciously like a certain clash jumper we are so desperate for the club to adopt? (The "away polo")

Maybe 45hotgod, a sign of things to come for the onfield apparel??? Jim did state that they didn't want the white, silver for the clash guernsey on Sunday.

You mean this?

I guess there's some similarity there. We can only hope.
