Exclusive members polo top

Now I know there is a bit of negativity out there re our lack of sponsorship, debt etc but my friends we have just hit a new low! Has anyone else received an email flogging these Polo tops yet? You`d have thought that our merchandise department would have done a little more research than pick up a David Jones catalogue from 1975 and decide to go with this! Now I am no fashionado, I love my shorts, thongs and singlet, but this is just awful! :wub:

Agree 100%. When I got the e-mail I was really shocked at how awful it is.

Hopefully some will like it or the MFC shop will have more stock to write-down!

Yep, I agree to - it's a disgrace.

There is no way I would buy one of these shirts.

Whoever chose this, obviously chose last years clash jumper as well - they should get their eyes checked and maybe stop looking for the 'latest' fashions in 'Op Shops'.

I am baffled AD. I would gladly spend $60 bucks on a good quality simple blue polo with our logo on it but do they honestly think this poor excuse for a table cloth is gonna sell?? We desperately need more supporters wearing Dees merchandise and putting more money in the coffers but I doubt we will see too many of these on show at the G this year unless the poor players have to wear them for media gigs and functions.

Agreed totally!

As soon as i received the email i thought ooohh here's a good idea, then once the email was opened and the picture was seen i nearly lost my lunch, absolute total turn off!

:wacko:

would love to see the polo lol.

Oh no, I really don't think you would.

Frankly, I can't even see much that makes it look like Demon's merchandise, as opposed to random red, grey and blue horizontal stripes...

Reminds me a little of the horrible rugby union polo tops you see sometimes.

I'll just be buying the simple dark blue witha bit of red ones, thanks.

Hahaha, i think uve given me the picture, it should be on merchandise on the melbourne site so ill chek it out there.

I disagree. As my monica suggests, I'm long past being young and fashionable, and the new top will suit me just fine ..... as well as showing my allegiance to the footy club and putting a few $s into their coffers.

Posted

Yeah gotta agree with the consensus on this one, it is a shocker. Perhaps Im in the wrong demographic.

Posted

I don't see anything wrong with it. By nature sporting club fashion is generally fairly average.

This is no worse than many others. Its main function is to display the club's colours & it does that.

Seriously, sometimes I think the majority of our supporters are addicted to a bit of self-flagellation.

I reckon it would go alright with one of those lovely bomber jackets you see some people wearing. Particularly one of those special ones that has the big leather patches on the back that have 'Outer Wear' stitched into them. I have always wished I could get my hands on one of those. They are exclusive 'Outer Wear' editions after all, not just for anyone.

loved the members rugby jumper as you can wear it all season, a polo can only be seen when it is warm. Bring back the rugby jumper for mine!

We have several people bagging it, yet none of you can actually post the image in here?

I am a Melbourne supporter, and I love my club. As such, I wear all our schonky members gear with pride. Maybe pride is the wrong word...

I was born in 1981... I'm still waiting for something above mediocrity. Until tha happens, and hopefully with J Watts and co it's in the next 5 - 10 years, I am happy for any practical excuse to donate to the MFC without drawing too much grief from the GF

For everyone else slightly more trendy than I... Everyone needs something to wear to bed

Absolute bloody awful.....

Who is making these decisions on merchandise? There is alot in this department to be answered for. I wonder why the club arnt making any money. We are actually losing it through stupid decisions like this. Merchandise should be very profitable avenue for the club. It is clearly not and needs a serious over haul immediately.....

I am not sure if it is an individual or group decision on merchandising decisions? But you all should be shot on-site..... Fair dinkum! I feel sick....

:lol:

Sorry to those that have asked for a link but I cant figure out how to do it from a personal email address and it is nowhere to be seen on the MFC website (curiously) Just be grateful you cant see it , or if you are really desperate, i suggest you become a member and you will certainly be offered the said exclusive polo!

In all seriousness, in reference to what DT just said previously, i think the merchandise team could have done far better by perhaps coming up with a few designs and ask the Melbourne supporters what their preferred designs would be, so we might actually sell more than half a dozen!

Posted

Yep. A ordinary table cloth at best. I'll go somthing more bettera. (Correct english plz.) :)

Great idea - perhaps it can be marketed as the "MFC Pyjama top".

Posted

That polo is hardly the height of design or innovation, but I can understand why the club feels it has more important things to spend money on, than product developers (who are very expensive).

Having said that, merchandise can and does generate a hell of a lot of money for many AFL clubs, and the same can be true for us if we put some effort into it.

I'm waiting to get the OK from my employer and then I'll contact the club regarding this issue. I'm more than happy to offer my time and knowledge in the area of product development if it means helping the club generate more revenue through better merchandise.

Posted

Received mine in the post the other day and have worn it a couple of times. I really didn't think much of it when I first saw it, but was pleasantly surprised, very good quality and easy to spot in the crowd. ;) . Of course I also think most of the in-vogue fashion now reminds me of the seventies... so what would I know.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
