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...

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
