Not trying to be a Provocative anything daisycutter, just a little jibe in the on going saga of white jumpers.

I know you are fiecely anti white and you know I have lost the will for the fight

because I think we are tilting at wind mills!

On reflection you may be right perhaps I am an old PF'er

What good is a windmill if you can't have the odd tilt?

Keep smiling old dee :) from another oldie

There is a reply to that on Nov 28th '09.....

Good pickup!!! Hrmmm odd, but it's def from this year cos the artist makes comment on "bringing the Demon back".

It's just someone having a crack at a design though...

Hi Daisycutter, after seeing todays HUN I need to get a lance!

I am joining all the Don's on Demonland.

If Carlton can have light blue why do we have to have white.

It is time for every Melbourne supporter to write to the AFL.

Deluge them with complaints.

I am angry!

Thats right old dee, welcome aboard - finally some light at the end of the tunnel

All those arm chair experts who said Vlad would never accept a clash jumper that wasn't "predominately" white. Eat your shorts!

So, who's gonna design the first all red/pale blue (no white) demons clash jumper???

C'mon Redleg_24 sharpen that graphics tablet of yours

Pale blue may not be a Rolls Royce, but its still a Statesman compared to Great Wall White!

OK to kick it off here's one suggestion

All pale blue background

Red V stripe (a'la old South Melbourne)

Red piping at neck and sleeves

Red "MFC" gothic letters (as in emblem) under point of vee

Sponsors logo

New emblem over the heart

Pale blueshorts with red piping or strips

All red socks

Edit: maybe add some navy blue highlights too ?

"pale" blue to be as "dark" as Vlad will allow

I like the white jumpers, although not many of the ones posted on here. I even purchased the white guernsey we used this year. A pale blue version of ours would look horrible in my opinion, but I don't think we'll go that way anyway. I'm a fan of using the demon on our clash strip. Like others have said, this won't matter when we're winning.

My two cents.

Personally all bets are off with me if we are forced to wear anything other than navy blue and red.

I hate the light blue and the eighties guernsies are just awful.

I still believe you are introducing a third colour if you are changing the navy blue to a light blue.

Hell, if you were using oil paints...

..you'd be adding white to get that light blue.

As everyone knows - I don't mind the white jumper.

Just threw this together quickly for you. IMO the sky blue looks far worse than the white.

Here is the new carlton "clash blue"

Its not actually that pale!

CFC_New_Clash_Guernsey.jpg

I'd PV if I saw Tom Scully wear that colour.

Is this acceptable to a couple of you because it still 'blue'?

To me, that is absurd.

It's a different colour.

At least white isn't a different colour - it's a non-colour.

Lets see what someone can come up with design wise first before slamming the gate

Depending on what comes up I might end up agreeing with you on pale blue, but lets see

Adding white is the cardinal sin, but adding pale blue is fine? FMD.

Can't wait to hear WYL's thoughts on this.

I put one up at the end of the last page. I'm not a fan.

Thanks

thats a start. I know you just tossed it together but it can be improved on (bigger MFC, thicker red vee, all red sox.....)

re pale blue better than white. Not convinced yet (may change my mind)

at least its still red'n'blue

My real preference is still the reversed home jumper (which we had for a while) but if we have to go lighter there has to be some sort of compromise

If we absolutely have to go white (at least short term) then I want to see coloured shorts (to break up the total white look)

Edit: YSL must have slept in this morning

Cute semantics Nasher

No-one is claiming pale blue is a panacea (or even better than white) just that its worth exploring

Prior to this everyone said that "predominately white" was mandatory and Vlad would never bend, this just opens the kimono a little

For all those KKK lovers I guess its a non-issue

I have checked out the position for all those like myself who are unsure on the position re "Clash Jumpers".

Excuse me those who already know the following.

The AFL decides when a "clash Jumper" will be worn.

The AFL has decreed that all clash jumpers must be predominately white!

All clubs with the exception of Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond have a mainly white jumper.

The other exception is Geelong, who's clash strip has more blue than the home jumper ( go figure).

So what's changed in the last 5 months re Carlton? Why does ~1/3 of the comp play by different rules?

I never thought white was mandatory.

It's just a colour that makes sense since no club has a predominantly white home strip. Although Geelong have the closest thing considering they love their white shorts.

Hence Freo, Hawks, Adel, et al going white.

Hi Trident re above in a seperate comment I said it was a case of power!

Some clubs have a lot e.g. Collingwood and other have little e.g. Melbourne.

I have not fought the mainly white jumper because it appeared to me that it was the decree from the AFl and in the next few years all the obstainers would be into line.

However the game has changed with the new Carlton strip.

If ever a club should have a white clash jumper it is Carton after all their colours are Blue and White.

I heard the Carlton CEO on the radio this morning saying they were a little tired of the white clash jumper

so came up with light blue, this was approved by the AFL because the teams they clash with

are said by the AFL to be Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Melborne ( From Memory )

So a light blue does not clash with those teams.

The main message I got was Carlton only need a clash jumper that was different the the teams they clash with.

On that basis the Dees need to work out who the AFL says we clash with and design a jumper around those teams.

The AFL's decree of Mainly White no longer holds water.

However nothing will change unless we all [censored] a lot.

Write to the AFL and Melbourne, nothing will work better than if both groups have 20,000 pieces of paper in their hands.

My two letters are going off as soon as I work out which are the teams were the AFL thinks there is a clash

but that wouldn't happen :o

They had quite an awful jumper using their colours in the mid 90s.

These jumpers are hard to do, harder to sell, which is why I am malleable on the subject.

    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
