Clash strip

[Macca 16,173]

I agree Macca. The strongest club in the land does not wish to change its colours because it wishes to remain the strongest club in the land. The MFC wearing white is not a sign of strength and i will never approve.

Yep , every time our team runs out in "that" jumper I utter the same words . "Oh no , not that thing again ! And I've cleaned that last comment up . And ...........................it's been a few years now . Still cheer our team on the same way obviously .

Can we at least get rid of the pink . I'll cop crimson , dark maroon , red , burgundy , even auburn ! But not pink .

Of course , I agree with the use of pink for worthy causes and special days etc .

Cheers

Our white jumper sucks, but is better than what we have had in the past. The Doggies NAB Cup jumper is brilliant I think. Like it a lot as there clash jumper. But the AFL requires white I dont know why? Idiots.

Dee's clash jumper should be red with a 'Demon logo' (a good one) or the 'MFC' emblem!

[Sideshow Bob 2,165]

All you traditionalist out there - IIRC our original nickname was the invincible whites so therefore we should only be wearing the white outfit........

Unfortunately it is a necessary evil, that unfortunately hasn't been administered or policed well. We are stuck with it. I would have no problems if we adopted a home jumper an away jumper (predominantly red) and the clash jumper for when the red one won't work. As far as predominantly white ones go its pretty good. The kids love them as signatures work better on them. It's here to stay

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the new player pictures are up on the MFC website... although a few players on on their last seasons pics. If you open up one of them that still has last years top (Tapscott for example) and compare it to any of the new pics, this years jumper is definitely much much more red than that pinky shade we had last year.

Why wouldn't we keep the layout the same and change the color positions. Navy blue V and red bottom half. Exactly the opposite.

[daisycutter 28,691]

Not to get into the middle of this argument again, but...

I think equating not having a clash jumper and strength is specious.

I could easily argue stubborn over strong, pigheaded over powerful, and arrogant over aardvark.

Couldn't think of an 'A' word.

didn't you know rpfc that we are a specious lot here at Demonland?

not withstanding ad hominem attacks that is

this annoys me so much.

surely we just have to wear the clash when playing away against teams that are also red/blue/black, like essendon.

why can we not follow the EPL model, where they have a home strip, an away strip that is pretty much the opposite, and then a 3rd strip that is worn extremely rarely, and only in cases where both the home and away would clash. its not [censored] rocket science people.

we could have a blue/red one, a red with some blue one and a white one we rarely rarely wear. the red one should be worn against the likes of st kilda.

as for collingwood - they at least look very white when they have the 3 black stripes and white shorts, and very black when its the other way around. they even wore a even blacker version against north last year.

as for essendon - those arrogant [censored] can [censored] off. red shorts? how about no.

[Striker475 696]

I liked the '09 clash strip the best, regretting not getting my paws on one of those.

Have to see what the 2012 one looks like to be honest.

[old dee 22,983]

Slightly off topic, but I found the Bulldogs jumper which they wore against GWS was much harder to distinguish from GWS than their regular jumper would have been.

I agee I thought it was the worst clash in AFL history.

How do those colours fit the AFLpolicy/

Why would i want to buy a Footscray jumper? If you like it fine. I hate it.

Lighten up guys it is 20 th Feb.

Sorry OD but i don't find it funny when certain clubs can do as they wish whilst our jumper is diluted.

I don't like being kicked.

I know you and DC find little humour in the subject and I did try to bypass your comment.

Enough said.

Have a good night mate.

RPFC someone as articulate as your good self couldn't come up with an A word.

You respond extremely well to a few "A..... hole" contributers to these forums.

I will take that as a compliment.

The Dogs' strip in the weekend tri-farce clashed with GW$ far more than their traditional one.

The trouble is, common sense has little or no part in AFL decision making.

My point exactly which is why there are times the club should inform the members that this time we are going to say "no" today we will wear the traditional jumper.

eg. Melbourne & Essendung look great playing against each other in trad jumpers. I never mistake our jumper and am now almost 50. With an HD screen i just do not understand the logic. Except power & merchandise. But i am yet to see a white MFC jumper worn in public yet.
