For those with Reach jumpers

Featured Replies

Posted

Just telephoned the Demon Shop re: the EW sponsor and what will be done for supporters. The girl who answered said that they were actually in a meeting discussing it as we spoke. Said there's a few options being looked at, but most likely it'll either be a voucher for the club for a replacement or an iron-on for those who've bought the jumpers - bring the jumper in and they'll go over it with the new BOJ as they have with the current cover-over. She said to call back at the end of the week and they'll know, which I intend on doing.

(I figure this might mean there's a BOJ sponsor sorted this week too)

 

Cheers, keep us updated

Tell the club to keep the vouchers - they need the money!

 

Hmmm, sent an email to the club shop about this very same issue earlier this afternoon. Interesting to note there are a few with the same concerns especially considering the significance of the Reach jumper. I bought 2 for my girls as Easter pressies - but gave them to them a week early for the first game. Then a couple of days later the EW saga started. Their logo tarnishes what is an otherwise perfect jumper.

Thankyou....i have not been able to wear the new Jumper since this Rubbish went down, so i will be stoked if it can be ressurected.


Looks like I'm off to Bunnings to get some green gaffer tape.

I've got black duct tape on mine. Looks shocking, but wearing it Sunday for the #11.

Thanks heaps for the update. Are they suggesting they will swap over the jumper with a new one or just cover up if you already have one

I think she was suggesting they'd swap it in the event of the vouchers, not too sure though.

Hoping they just do a cover-over, it's both cheaper for the club and it means we get to hold onto the Reach jumpers.

Beyond Blue. Members get a club discount.


The Reach logo alone should be on these guernseys along with #11 or #37. I was disappointed when mine arrived with EW logo on the back as I really just wanted the connection to the memory of Jim.

Supporters Should get the option to order guernseys without sponsors logos.

Yes please post updates as you hear them - I have 2 jumpers that need fixing. Jaded suggested I could get an iron-on patch from Spotlight or Lincraft but the jumper label says "100% Polyester - No Iron".

The best solution would be a new BOJ sponsor patch that goes on like the numbers, that they can put on in the shop if you take your jumper in. A replacement jumper is too expensive for the club IMO and I'd rahther live with the pain.

The EW jumpers re collectors items. Must have gone up in value....

People should be able to buy all clothes without logos. I don't want to have to pay to be a walking billboard. It should be the other way around. If I'm advertising Nike clothing, I should get a discount on my merchandise.

Unfortunately its all part of the big bucks sponsors pay .. they pay to have their logo on jumpers supporters buy, as many will only buy a jumper every few years .. still see some Tooheys and LG ones floating around at the G


Can anyone shed light on whether or not it would be possible to get an 'iron-on' Reach Logo for BOJ as well? Legally is it okay to pursue this option yourself and have a local shop make one?

I'm thinking it'd look terrific and would be a good match dimensionally-wise (rectangular) once enlarged to go over the EW logo.

Thoughts, input?

best outcome from my perspective would be an Opel patch that the shop can put on with their number applicataion machine - jumper says "no iron"

went to the shop pre doggies game, girl said they will be allowing us to exchange jumpers when new ones come out, but the only problem is the new ones will have webjet on the front. i bought a reach jumper with No 11 out of respect to jimmy so dont really want to exchange for the new one. a bit annoying, would be good to just get a patch to cover and surely that'll be cheaper on the club??

Can someone update on these jumpers? I have one purely for the reach logo but with the EW disaster no longer want it what are my options don't really want the new jumper with new logos either?

War office called Demon Shop yesterday. They said they'd have replacements in around mid May and that a notice would be posted on the website.

Called them today, waiting for a call back - she said she's still not sure, they were definitely looking at a cover for the Reach ones though because of the special circumstances.

Thanks Striker. I hope the black tape I put on mine won't cause an issue with the cover option!

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
