So while this is not really as important as winning games etc, it seems we are now magenta and blue and no one has even noticed. Does anyone care that our jumpers look pink? When people I meet find out I'm a Melbourne supporter they ask me about it and I have to agree they look pink AND there is no uproar or discerning comments on here. Its just weird!! Its funny how sometimesthey look red ie on ads after colour correction has been applied but lets be honest here the jumpers are pink, the club said they'd be fixed and they haven't been so i think we need to apply some people power pressure on this site and get us back to the RED and blue. I mean the socks are right. every other team can get their colours right. wtf is happening?!

PS id rather wear pink and win than red and lose but pink + lose = rubbish.

Yes they are definitely pink and I believe we should get back to the fire engine red we used to have. Either that or be the only side that goes back to that synthetic wool look jumper we used to have. I just had a thought did the AFL unconsciously start wearing these soccer type tops because of global warming.

yes they are pink ive said there pink all along, the last comment i made about the color i got shut down on this site by someone who is apparently in the know about colour and fabric and all that, but at the end of the day there pink, i want last years jumpers back over pink there crap that we are getting. At times the the home jumper looks great but then in a different light it goes pink

My one that I bought from the club shop isn't pink. And yes it's 2011 =/

still a bit pink for mine....

not good enough and hopefully we are beratin the supplier to get it right

It's not pink.

Go down to Taubmans and tell us which colour it is.

You will all say different colours.

next you'll tell us that grass isn't green, the sky isn't blue and Bails is doing a great job

They look pink on TV and that's the issue. I don't give a [censored] what they look like in person. We can either get our jumpers done properly, or change the words to our club song to suit our new colours.

To borrow a line from Red Dwarf, sometimes the MFC really comes across as a Mickey Mouse organisation.

....................

Sure they do. There have been topics on this before - Pink Jumpers. Maybe do a search before starting a new topic next time?

Seems the 'colour' depends on whether you are watching live or on TV, whether bright sun or not, whether day or night game.

I stand by that statement.

People will come back with various shades of the pink-red-burnt orange region of colours.

New Balance are doing this for the first time - they will get it right in time for our flag in 2014...

pffft semantics............its "pinkish" and definitely not the promised "deeper/darker red"

Yes they are pink...and they are rubbish. Pleeeease fix them.

They made Essendon's red like fluro...

There's some merit in that...

The one I got for my birthday a couple of weeks ago from the MFC store is red.

Whether or not that is what the players are wearing, I don't know. But when I go to the game or watch it on TV, they look pink.

It pales in comparison to the on-field issues we're going through at the moment, but this is still a fail for me. In 2011 we were supposed to be returning to a deeper red and a deeper blue. I don't like how we've failed to do it.

I don't think we were ever going to have the situation where NB, who were doing this for the first time, were going to get the colours right.

Have you viewed your jumper on tv yet?

they look pinkish on the TV, but i actually think they're almost "burgandy" or "maroon", similar to the colour on the members scarf?

Why not? They are a professional organisation that make shoes and cloths. How about they make a few, test them, if they are not right try again until they are?

I haven't seen the other half dozen clubs that wear red turn up with the wrong colour.

oh this is just rubbish ..fair dinkum.,....its not the first time theyve made sporting apparel..its not not theyve just come onto the market as a company.. Why does everyone want to be an apologist for a company thats just not getting it right.. Strangely appropriate for this team though

Newsflash.. NB havent got it right.. they ought o...theyve @#$!ed up.

I can remeber back to the Summit and Barrass and Schwabby made a very big deal about a jumper they had to hand...and that red is nothing like that which parades the grounds presently.. Ironically its a fushia like tone for a fushia like team

ITS NOT THE RIGHT RED !!

wasn't there a letter from someone at the club which explained the team jumpers were different and made separately. Among the changes IIRC was a different fabric allowing for breathing or something like that. Also the player jumpers would have been made all together in one special batch.

Now I am an apologist for NB?!

ICGAF about NB.

'Apologist' is new buzzword at the minute...

They are making AFL guernseies for the first time, they are having issues. And their Chinese workers aren't helping. Asics had years to get it right, and they steadily got worse.

of crying out...if youre justsaying this to have a black /white effort then do carry on .. This is a global company were talking about here... Not Mrs Nutties Knitwear !!

They make apparel for any number of sporting codes around the world. You name it thy probably make it...and yet for some reason they cant get a Red right ?? Give me a break RPFC

and yes.. anyone whos making any case for why they're failing by definition is an apologist.. get used to it.
