Interesting. Is this the first time New Balance would have done AFL apparel? Hopefully a step-up from Reebok!

    Do we still have Reebok or has New Balance taken their spot?

    They will take their spot.

    I really hope their jumpers are good, Melbourne's first two years with Reebok were dreadful, baggy, loose fitting jumpers that looked amateur. This year they were much better so I hope New Balance is another step forward.

    Is there a link to this news?

    No link but I was made aware of the deal by MFC customer relations person Maddie Stewart.

    Interesting move given Cameron Schwab's comments about the challenges of re-instating the darker traditional jumper colours due to limitations of our current jumper maker.

    It's an issue in general.

    Reds just never look quite like people expect them to.

    I seemed to think this year that the red was really close to being a pink, rather than a true red. I never noticed that in any other year. I have no idea if anything changed or if I'm just losing it, but I hope next year if we do have a change of apparel sponsor that maybe the colour can change.

    and whites never look good with the red and the blue (Unless you're a scragger of course) ;)

    definately when watching on TV it came across like that, but i did not notice it as much when sitting at the ground

    Yeah, I've been to every game in Melbourne this season so I haven't watched one on TV...it's definitely red. :)

    except that Breast Cancer one in Pink

    actually I thought it was going to look quite odd, but after a couple of minutes I found it quite acceptable

    Colour actually looked like Magenta, and guess what magenta is also called - yes - FUSCHIA

    PINK/FUSCHIA//MAGENTA

    Was this our original heritage colour??? ;)

    Can't say the same about the umpires...*shudder*

    Umpires NEVER look acceptable, thats why they are umpires

    Umpires should be heard but not seen

    Anyone know what other clubs use New Balance?

    No AFL clubs at present. Not sure if they do any other spoting clubs or other football codes. None that I am familiar with. They make great running gear thou. I hope they get it right!!

    RBK were sick IMO. They were a step up from ASIC and FILA which where average at best.

    New Balance are not known for top flight sporting apparel. RBK hold some of the bigger apparel making contracts throughout the world (ie exclusive NFL game day apparel)

    Good Luck to NB, lets hope they can make a bumper crop of guernseys.

    Probably a little early but does anyone know when the new jumpers might be on sale ?

    Hey Steamin demon - the new jumpers will probably not be available until next year before the season starts. They will also have to sell heaps of stock of the old jumpers. Alot of the new stuff will take a while as we have changed logo and also changed supplier. I know a merchandising manager from another club and understands how the system works

    Hope this helps!!

    Thanks dees1858, I appreciate it. I have a footy theme party coming up I would've liked to wear the new jumper but my old one will have to do.

    Thanks again.

    I doubt they'd be released before the official release of the new emblem and the new demon.

    Obviously the emblem has been unveiled, but as far as I know, it is yet to be actually used by the club.

    Thats the colour they should go for then for the Pink lady/ Breastcancer game, as it also carries a heritage angle as well.

    Or better still, why not use it as our regular CLASH JUMPER

    After all, it only clashes with umpires, and that is easily fixed

    This could be THE solution ;)

    if they can't get the darker red, at least get the red V sharper with new balance.

    True. How do we actually know that the new EMBLEM will be used on our jumper???

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
