I like it... And I like the idea. I wonder when it'll come to fruition. Although, this means we'll definitely have to have a white clash jumper for Carlton game...

they should bring the collar back.

be the only team in the comp to have it

Wouldn't we just use the white clash guernsey we've got now?

White clash jumper for Blues?

RED! RED! MORE RED!

A bit of red trivia for you - at the 2000 olympics a study was done on the psychological advantage of colours - they examined all the Tae-Kwan-Do bouts for the whole olympics and found that the comptetitors who were given the red sash for their bout won 55% of the bouts, while those given the light/medium blue sash obviously only won 45%. he colours for Tae-Kwan-Do are randomly assigned on a fight by fight basis, so it's actually a pretty rigorous piece of research.

Red is an advantage almost as good as having an extra player out there!

I like the idea of going back to the traditional Red and Navy Blue colours for the Melbourne jumper.

Hopefully we DO have a collar on the jumper.

I would also like to see the red cuffs added to the long-sleeved jumper. Just like the Demons used to have in the 1990s.

This was announced at the Demon Summit last year. Happy with this initiative. At the time Schwab said over the years the jumper has taken on a gradual change, the red had changed when the quality of the jumpers changed - they'll make sure the blood red is blood red . It's time to get it back to what it once was. Blood red, with a sharper/narrower "V", and a dark, dark navy blue.

FFS let's not have the crew neck 't-shirt' style that the Pies have. Looks shouse.

[Sir Why You Little 37,242]

Yes Bring back the original colours with the Collar!!! Yes i like it. Blood Red & DARK BLUE is The DEMON.

The Bulldogs have announced they are now going with a new design - tight fit jumper - much like the NRL players wear. I think it's one of their newly signed sponsors too. Pity Schwab couldn't beat Rose to the punch on this one too.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

I don't know about this "close to black" business though. I want to see the contrast in colours. Not Essendon with different shapes.

The Reebok jumpers are rubbish, baggy loose things with no shape that for one look amateur and would be far easier to tackle and hold on to.

The Adidas jumpers are a bit odd around the neck, but as far as how they fit they are much better and no doubt would give players a bit of an advantage, even if it is just 1%.

EDIT: Great news about the jumper colours too by the way.

"Purchased all 12 of the mini Premiership Cups. I have left room on the shelf for a few more. Might need a bigger shelf "

lol Good one, Cam!

Agreed.

[Whispering_Jack 30,949]

... and while they're at it, is there any possibility of them doing a redesign of the away jumpers so that the Demon on them looks a lot more ferocious, formidable and bloodcurdling?

Perhaps a few drops of blood coming from the sharpened teeth to scare the living suitcases out of the opposition?

[Mousey 47]

Agreed.

Agreed+2

[Guest Watts=Saviour]

I like the colour contrast we have now, I don't want the blue too dark, and I sure as hell don't want a collar on it....

just my opinion though.

[beelzebub 23,388]

those that remember the darker navy with blood red yoke will always consider it the smartest and most decisively "Melbourne" of all jumpers.

Ccolour Telly has a lot to answer for ..

Yes Exactly. I want our modern jumper to be the same hue as it was in the '50's, & if that means a collar aswell.....DO IT.

[She Devil 64 21]

As long as it doesn't have a round neck like Carlton (the worst) & Pies.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

the club is going through a revolution, perfect time for a new jumper

0R the players having blood dripping from a couple of sharpened teeth might work lol

[The Big Ticket 94]

Fantastic. I just love that sharp V, looks much more threatening.

[titan_uranus 25,056]

Don't know about the collar. I can't see any reason why sticking a collar on a jumper would invoke passion amongst the players. They'd probably just feel a little bit stupid.

Let's just concentrate on getting the colours better and the design tighter (if possible).

[praha 11,240]

I think he's referring to the colours. I can't imagine the collar ever coming back.
