They've all got that annoying square MFC logo.

I won't buy any merchandise until it's flicked and replaced by a demon or MFC or something.

Tend to agree i prefer the demon logo afterall that is our nickname

I think Jimmy wants the Demon back. May still happen.

Number 3 gets my vote. Number 2 is almost exactly what you can buy at the merchandise stands around the G and 1 is just horrid.

Maybe we could come up with a new piece of clothing/symbol of recognition instead of the scarf. Whilst I like it, I have that many at home I simply don't know what to do with them. Would it be worthwhile to somehow add the level of membership (Bronze, Silver, Gold etc.) to the scarf to recognise and distinguish longer-term members?

What's wrong with a members cap, beany or something else for a change? :angry:

How many bloody scarves does the club think we need?

Surely if the club are going to give members free merchandise it is logical to give them something different every year especially so that those who don't/won't or can't afford to buy it are fully decked out.

End Rant.

Oh yeah. Option 2

That sounds like a good idea, but it's too costly since it would change regularly and you would be making smaller, more specified production runs, which would be both a logistical and financial nightmare.

Besides, since I assume we don't have a large number of gold members, you'd be hard pressed to find overseas factories that will be willing to manufacture such a small quantity (minimum order is probably around 10,000 units since the product itself is highly specified anyway) without charging you ridiculous amounts of money for it.

We need to remember that since the club makes no money on these scarves, they have to keep the costs down to a minimum.

From that perspective, design 2 would be the cheapest to knit because of its repeat bulk pattern, whereas design 3 would be the most expensive. I still like 3 though :D

Surely if the club are going to give members free merchandise it is logical to give them something different every year especially so that those who don't/won't or can't afford to buy it are fully decked out.

Again, the scarf would be the cheapest thing to get made.

Beanies need to be knitted on a circular tube, and caps require a minimum of 3 pattern pieces as well as additional details such as those plastic tabs at the back. That all adds significant costs.

Just be happy that we get something for free given our financial position.

Sorry to sound like a cheapskate, but I know how much other clubs spend on crap membership merchandise each year, and I'd hate to think we spend as much.

Yeah you're right, although I reckon we would have a few Gold Members (myself included I am quite proud to say ;). I know this is a little OT, but is there a level above Gold? I can't find any references to the levels on the club's website.

I am all for a return to a "demonic" logo. I think end of next year would be a perfect time to reintroduce it as we start our ascent of the ladder and other teams start fearing us. This is, of course, on the proviso that it is a fierce, fearsome demon and not some cartoon character.

There are some highly strung people on this site...

All three look good, the first one is intriguing because it the famous MFC sticker, 24 of them, stuck together.

Second one is your classic two-tone, and the third one has a demon.

But I'm going with '24 stickers.' That's number 1.

Whose with me?

I hope I am right in picking up the sarcasm in that comment, but please don't go giving them any ideas!!!! The day the MFC put Demon Snuggies on sale is the day I dump a tonne of cow manure in front of the rectangular stadium/Casey/MCG offices.

I admit that I'm a bit insane when it comes to our apparel/merchandise, because that's what I study/do for a living.

Also because merchandise is a major revenue source for many AFL clubs, and while I don't know the specifics, I am pretty certain that we don't make a killing in this department.

There is a lot of potential to expand on the merchandise we currently have. I'd also love to know whether Reebok is responsible for the bulk of the design, or whether we have a designer working at the club or whether we employ freelancers.

I keep telling myself that I'll get onto the club and try and offer my help, but I haven't got the time and I'm pretty sure my employer would be pretty [censored] if I did that. One day...

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
