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.

You've already done bloody well and deserve to go much further. You should be very proud

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:

Congrats mate great to hear very good collection very happy to hear the club is at least thinking about it. Best of luck

The 1858/1859 tee is class, I'll be buying one of those.

Champions '64 is also a pretty sure thing for me if they get printed.

You'll have to have "JADED" printed on the tags somewhere though :D

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

All the best with this Jaded.

I really hope this becomes a success for you and the club. It's a subjective opinion but when it comes to the litmus test of "Would you buy it?" then my answer is an unequivocal YES

Posted

one last idea?? someone eles suggested this somewhere. A new your yankee style hat with the MFC on the fron. dark blue with red logo, would be popular


Posted

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.

I don't know what I was on last night but I apologize for any posts I have yet to remov.

Except that one (in general) above.

Bloody amazing work

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:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
