Still not happy with the Red yolk on our jumpers.

Looks more Pinkish maroon, rather than the real blood red it should be.

Posted

Watched the first game(s) up on the Gold Coast and thought they looked perfect in the wet. Then when they ran out against Collingwood last week I thought they looked very pink, but then never noticed it again all night. Last season I noticed the pink the majority of the time. It is a mystery to me what's going on.

I think they look perfect. No more tomato-sauce red, no more Freo purple. Navy blue and blood red all the way, and I think they've pretty much nailed the jumper.

mmmmmmm i must be colour blind

Yep, they definately had a pinkish hue against the pies last weekend, as they did last year.. it p!sses me off actually.

I have a theory on this -

I reckon the AFL wants that shade for us, because real blood doesnt show up on blood red or navy blue.. and the blood rule (and the chance of a contagious disease being spread) would be hard to control.

This would give us an advantage if the umps missed sending off our players, via the blood rule, that anyone else would get sent off for.

Probably Essendon and GCS in the same boat.. although, havent seen or heard them complaining about it. (Ess, not as much red as us?? Gcs, red is lighter in colour??)

I reckon the "pink" issue is to do with the contrast used on the TV cameras

I agree that of late our jumpers look a little maroon rather tomato sauce red, but i'm happy with it

When you see the jumpers up close and personal they are fantastic, my theory last year was under lights they turn pinkish, looked similar against the pies last week. I think they seem quite reflective under lights this then makes them look pink on tv especially on night games

Every time I see a photo of the guernsey without a sponsor on it, my blood starts to boil.

It has definitely changed to a more red than pink colour.

Bloody hell! Tappy looks completely different in this years jumper.

Probably the lights?

I was trying to stay off this thread but cannot help myself.

I do not think Essendon have changed there red in my memory.

Why is it that that Sydney and Essendon have reds that do look pink under lights / Tv

and yet our reds do have pink tinges and have for some years.

Why cannot we get the red right?

We are accused of playing bruise free football so I guess the pink suits

But it really gets up my nose.

My father told me a long time ago " son at least look the part"

Why the hell do we constantly have jumpers that look pink and scarves that look Maroon.

Jeeberz you really hated that scarf from last year didn't ya....i don't blame you mate, but it comes out so often

Should we burn & Bury one to eleviate your burden O.D.??

Yes wyl I really hate it and from what I have seen i don't think the 2012 version is much better.

I sent it back as you probably know.

Where should we hold the ritual cremation mate?

Outside gate 2 or would the dome be more appropriate we have been burned there fairly often.

Having incinerated it we could spread the ashes through Yarra park.

I am open to suggestions what do you think?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
