Just watching the replay. Our socks are blood red, but the yoke on the jumper is decidedly pink, not blood red.

Most disappointing.

I agree they do look pink but only on TV. In trying to achieve blood red they've achieved pink on TV which means they should go back to the bright red next year. Another thing i'd like to know about the jumper is, which genius made the red cuffs disappear ?

Funny cos I was at the match and watched half the replay, and at no stage did it occur to me that the jumpers looked pink.

Some people's perceptions of what looks pink are obviously different.

Some people might be a bit confused because the colour looks closer to pink than it did previously.

Some people just like having something to complain about.

Live out on the ground they were Red, on the M.C.G. Scoreboard screen they were Red, on the Sharp TVs near where I was sitting they were pinkish.

Even on the screens at the ground the jumpers were different

I was sitting level 3 of the MCC and on the big screens at the end of the ground the jumper was looking their correct red

on the internal tv above my seats they looked pink

it must come down to darkness - the darker the picture the pinker the image...

Watching on the TV , when the players ran out I thought "Awesome , they've got the red right , looks good ."

Then the camera went to a different angle , and the red went pink . :blink:

the jumpers are shiny that's the problem. On tv both the blue and the red are very reflective. The blue shines while the red goes pinkish on tv. Maybe they need to go for a matte finish for the day games and something shinier for under lights.

it's the cameras on a bright sunny day. Red is the most volitile to broadcast.

It is the most suseptable to light changes. And as football is always moving the camera chips are forever correcting.

Where the ground is shaded a truer reproduction will occur.

The looked great from Level 2 MCC reserve, it was a very bright sun yesterday, don't forget.

Wait for a sunny game at Etihad, you will notice it even more if the sun is shining on a clear day.

Unless, otherwise, maybe, perhaps - widespread retina failure has occurred - the jumpers were decidedly *pink* on my telly too.

And without any possibility of a notion against the absolute, the question of jumper colour has much todo with the reflective material being chosen. Not necessarily just a camera on a bright sunny day, even though Red as correctly put forward, is volatile to broadcast. However, it's not that volatile as when have you ever seen St Kilda or Swans jumper looking a tad pink in the reds? Probably never.

Maybe it was a choice in relation to a Cancer foundation Pink Lady day?

However, as Mono put it it's 'most disappointing'. And not a 'whinge' to want your team's colours to be true to their origins and consistent.

Kind Regards

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
