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

    I'm all for achieving the milky way... :)

    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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
