Thank you again for all the positive feedback and encouragement, you honestly don't know how much it means to me!

Even if this doesn't go any further, it's good to know that I managed to hit the target market with the designs, and it might give the club some ideas for future development.

A final bump for now, to let you know that I'll be meeting with the club early next month.

At this stage the meeting appears to be an informal discussion about what the club has planned for the merchandising range (I get the impression they are already in the process of developing something of their own), but I will spend the next couple of weeks fine-tuning and adding to the collection, in case they want to grab some of my ideas.

I will also bring with me the results of the original survey which I conducted on here months ago, because I'm not sure if the club has undertaken any market research and it could prove very useful for them.

If anyone has anymore ideas for products they'd like to see, or further improvements (1858 aside :P), please post or PM me. The ideas and encouragement that I've received so far have been incredibly helpful and much appreciated!

In the meantime, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me, because this is about as perfect a project as I could ever ask to be involved in...

Brilliant Jaded! This must be a real fillip for you. Good on you.

I have to clarify that at this stage it's purely a meet and greet and thank you for your effort meeting.

It could possibly go nowhere, but if I can help the club with some ideas that is my main aim. We have to improve the merchandise and generate some decent money from it, or miss a huge opportunity.

I'm just pumped someone is talking to me about it... that's more than you usually get in the fashion industry! :lol:

actually ...JADED could have a good brand ring to it.

I'd sell the fourth person I ran into for a yankees style navy blue hat with a red MFC logo on the front

That idea was brought up a while ago, and now that I have officially finished studying, I'll have the time to make it happen.

I do have to look into copyrighting issues, but it should be fine.

I'm also gonna add socks, board shorts and a couple more tee designs... and yes, 1859 will be changed to 1858!

I'll attempt to post up the new designs at some point.

This could very well be me wasting my time creating more and more products, when the club has no interest in picking up any of my designs, but I figured if I go into the meeting and blow their tiny minds away they may just be forced to give me a job :o;):lol:

Either way I'll prepare a folder for them with the market research I've done, and large printed formats of the designs.

it really does support my opinion that the club is missing out on a huge market of casual supporter wear

At this stage the meeting appears to be an informal discussion about what the club has planned for the merchandising range (I get the impression they are already in the process of developing something of their own)

I'm pretty sure they know they're missing out and were looking at getting something happening in this space.

I think I already mentioned this, but at the Youth Summit there was a rep from Globe there - in an unofficial capacity, not acting on behalf of Globe - who raised this and also ended up talking to a few supporters about it for a while after the Summit concluded.

Anyway, props again for the effort. Even if it goes nowhere it's nice it is being recognised by the Club :)

actually ...JADED could have a good brand ring to it.

Some might say it's an appropriate brand for Melbourne supporters :P

Its all a worthwhile exercise even if it goes nowhere.

The experience is invaluable and its all material for your folio.

Keep it up

True, now if only someone in industry actually gave a crap about folios and non-paid experience ;):lol:

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
