Alternative Strip - Scorpion jumper or other Alternatives?

Noted some discussion about still working on an acceptable alternative strip.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use the Scorpion jumper or a derivative of it. If we cannot use our traditional jumper better to use one we can at least relate to.

    I like the alternate thinking, but no.

    It really worries me that everyday punters on internet forums (Demonland, Demonology and BigFooty) can create very good alternative jumpers very quickly, yet for some reason just weeks out from the NAB Cup the MFC are still to finalise a design.

    No. Does not have enough silver/grey in it with a ridiculous design to totally pi$$ dedicated MFC supporters off.

    Not a bad idea, given the colour match.

    But which one, they seem to have 2:

    Pics are from Scorpio web site.

    Presumably the red one is the go? With Demon image instead of Scorpion.

    I quite like the idea of both clubs having mutual alternative strips if this can be done to both their satisfaction. Both have predominantly red and blue and in fact, the old Springvale jumper was very close to ours except that it had the white logo and the red collar was smaller. It shouldn't be too hard for something to be worked out between the clubs.

    Your kidding! You guys who like this idea really want to be a VFL side. Should'nt even be thinking down that line.

    We are not the Scorpions but the Demons!

    I cannot see why we have not decided on the red strip with the blue MFC logo on it. No clashes there! And a very distinctive jumper it would be for the club.

    I Follow the Demons not Springvale. This alliance is not my idea But i have to live with it. I would Prefer a reserve Side wearing a MFC Jumper. Don't Rub it in any further by putting the Senior Team in the Springvale Jumper Please!!

    I have to agree here. We don't need to lower ourselves further to the point of 'borrowing' another clubs' jumper design because we couldn't design our own. If there's going to be a similarity in the jumpers, it should be a MFC jumper design.

    Agree with that.

    Does for me raise an intersting notion. How do many see a relationship with the Scorps ?

    Are we not embarking upon a new era. A rebirth of sorts; a long term arrangement with Casey ? How better could we do it bt to really immerse ourselves at that level than to have some commonality in apearance as well as fervour and desire ?

    I could see nothing wrong with similar away jumpers.. differing only in scorpion and demon. I like the idea. It has merit. Arguably all will not see it. That too is fine.. its about opinions after all.

    I am not sure if this is the official jumper or not but it is on the MFC website so I think that it is fairly likely that this will be our new clash jumper/NAB cup jumper.

    It displays the unnofficially new demon logo (that isn't allowed to come into place until 2010 under AFL rules).

    I believe Russell Howcraft is responsible for the organisation of this logo.

    The jumper is the same as it was in 2007 design wise, but the logo is obviously what separates them.

    Even though, I don't like this new demon that much, I stll think that it is better to use the demon on the jumper than the old-fashioned "MFC" logo because we want to attract kids more than anything atm.

    Not sure if it's just the photo, but the blue seems darker than normal, so maybe Cameran Schwab is bringing back the darker blue (also for the main jumper) like he said he would to match the jumper desing used in the Golden Era of the Demons.

    What do people think?

    PS, I know there are several other threads on this, but they all seem to have their own little discussions (ie, whether we should wear the Scorpians jumper), so I thought this warrented a new thread.

    the colours (whether clash or otherwise) should be dark blue and blood red.

    and i'd even like to see our normal strip return to the smaller red yolk (with more red on the back) rather than the current large 'v'. obviously that would be tough against carlton, but we have to wear the clash against carlton anyway. and more blue on the front and red on the back would limit the clash with essendon, st kilda and freo to some extent.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
