Right

So all off season we have been stoked on seeing these new jumpers, the launch was wonderful, they photographs too..all the marketing stuff over the off season was brilliant. But I have just looked at the HUN photos and some posted by people today and I am sorry, but unless I am going colour blind, those new jumpers are 100% pink or fuscia at best. It's a joke guys! Essendon and Sydney jumper manufacturer's have no problems getting the red right, why us?

If anyone needs to see the photos go here: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/gallery-e6frf9o6-1225999604981?page=16

If that is red then I am Keith Richards. Look forward to opening the paper every weekend to see the team of the PINK AND THE BLUE! At least we can wear these for the cancer clash without having to manufacture something new! JOKE!

The jumpers on display today definitely had a pinkish hue to it.

I even heard a club admin person say the same and that they weren't happy about it.

Having seen the jumper I am not happy about the red colour and from far away it looks like the Swans jumper. The blue on the V should be more prominent to make it stand out more.

Having said that the white jumper is awful and the clash strip should be red.

They do look a little pinkish. Definitely not the colour of their socks but that might have to do with something from the material point of view.

But Cam Schwab did say, bit by bit, inch by inch, regarding the blood red colour. Fwiw, the top I bought (faulty) pre-Christmas is blood red and not "pinkish".

Seriously couldn't agree more. None of this, "oh well they promise to work on the material over the next summer and we will make do with these"

I am sick of these apparel muppets. Seriously, they can't do a bloody thing as directed and love charging fane out the @rse for cheaply manufactured goods. The club should put a rocket up 'em.

Seriously,whoever designed those clash strips didn't bother putting any thought into it either. They stole ideas of posters on this site. Tried to improve it and make it more 'edgy' and as Demonland commented lost it a little.

But, honestly, that is not blood red and someone should have photographed the jumpers on a player in the open daylight before approving them. What the whole things tells me is, whoever controls the MFC merchandising/apparel show is a lazy sod who doesn't think hard enough.

Send em back...i want RED.

Schwabby, if you are reading this, please give us your honest thoughts. We appreciate your hard work and honesty, but something didn't look like what you guys were hoping for.

I would hope the guernseys used today were the 'faulty' ones initially produced by New Balance.

Hopefully it can be rectified before the season starts.

The faults you mention were nothing to do with the red V mickhrocks1. It was about the logo and the stars. Unless there is another issue I don't know about.

I always thought our previous jumpers, even up until last year, looked much more red in person than on the telly.

Especially the Sunday 7 games, they looked very pink. I'm wondering if this is a similar problem? Jaded?

It's possible that the exposure on the Camera was not set up correctly, as RED is always the first colour to Faulter.

I have not seen the new jumpers with my own eyes yet, so i will reserve judgement, but i do hope we have Blood red on our jumpers on Gameday Round 1.

They! You know... People!

Look, red is notorious for being a colour where people get this idea in their head what they think they want, but it is not achievable.

When presented with the options, eventually they all ask where is the darker intense red.

Which doesn't really exist.

At least not in the form they envisage.

Sometimes it's like being asked to design a round square.

It's the material not the colour. The sheen of the fabric makes it look pink. The socks are dark red, it's the same colour just a different fabric. I say get the older members to knit them jumpers. Then we'd get the red we want.

I was at the game and the jumpers look pink, both my wife and I commented the same and I actually thought they were using last years jumpers for the cancer when I first got there until the players ran towards where I was standing...

Not happy with the colour but looks like we are stuck with it

it is easier to get a blood red from Wool than it is synthetic materials, that we have now-a dark blood red is possible, but not easy to achieve.

We still have trouble colour grading reds for TV transmissions today.

But its darker!

Didn't supporters want a darker red?

That's the problem with listening to what people say they want, when they don't really know what they want.

Darker red usually ends up looking more fuchsia or maroon, rather than what people perceive in their mind as being red.

So you want to make it lighter now..?

Essendon, Bulldogs, Sydney, St Kilda, Adelaide don't end up with pink.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
