These are pictures and the colors will be somewhat different when the jumper is in the hands. I think the red will be darker as will the blue, which I do like.

Love the emblem being there. Never mind moving it up or down, it would look better without the Hankook logo's but of course these have to be there.

Compare the colours. Top is from the jumper (obviously)

    OK, so I decided to email the club to enquire about our jumper, whether the colours were changing, the possibility of white stars on it etc. To my delight I received a reply within hours:

    Hello Lewis,

    Thanks for your email and support of the Club. The jumper design for 2011 does have some subtle changes. When the jumper is released we will explain the changes in a similar way to the way we launched the new emblem.

    The changes that have been made are largely based on member feedback and are designed to pay tribute to the heritage of our jumper and Club. There are also some performance aspects that have been adjusted for the comfort of the players and as you note, the change to New Balance also plays a part as we move to their designs and fabric. The changes do include a tribute to our 12 premierships but there aren’t any white stars on the collar.

    Cam has worked closely with the team at New Balance and at R-Co (the company the designed the emblem) over many months to get the jumper right. Even though the changes are subtle, I’ve no doubt there will be some mixed views as there always is with change. Hopefully the general feel is that we have evolved it in the right direction.

    Thanks again for taking the time to write.

    Kind Regards, Jennifer

    So sorry monde, there are no stars on the collar. But there is 'a tribute to our 12 premierships'. Interesting.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Certainly adds to the intrigue.

    Emblems, Demons, Jumper changes, all very positive so far IMO.

    I don't think the club rep would necessarily be 'playing semantics' by saying there are no white stars on the collar if this is indeed the case. Wouldn't it actually be even better if the stars were blue??

    Bingo.

    Is it 1 October or 1st November that the new emblem officially takes over?

    I would have thought October 1st as it is when the AFL season (usually) ends. Anyone know when the new jumper is expected to be released?

    Geez. We've got the southern cross on our emblem and now stars on our jumper.

    Are we trying to make a constellation or something

    To answer my own question, I remembered about the game in China so I would assume Melbourne would still be with Reebok until then.

    Why ? If no longer the official sponsor/supplier

  • Quote

    As much as it's possible to tell, the fabric, hems look pretty similar to reebok, but I assume if this was just a reebok jumper it would just be the 2010 one with a patch.

    Sharp V obvious

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
