God i hate scarves....between the 3 melbourne supporters in our house we have 30 scarves...no joke...a free one every year for the last 10 years.

I wish they would offer an alternative such as a tie or a flag.

I wouldn't mind a beanee... an el cheapo wrist watch (Dees logo on face, blue and red band) or some such thing in the kids' member pack wouldn't be bad either - as long as it's analog and not digital..

You had the option last year of refusing the scarf and either getting a Demons Shop voucher or giving the extra money to the club.

I've got almost as many beanies as I do scarfs - they are really good, but I end up only wearing them when I go camping or to the country. They aren't too flattering... not that I'm vain or anything

I want them to bring back the bandana.

MFC retro headband modelled by Jack V I reckon.

Beeing based in WA i never really saw the point of them, but I flew over to watch the Dee's / Hawks game last year and sitting in the olympic stand with the wind howling and a massive chill factor i found a new respect for the humble scarf.

I hand out the scarves and each year the Membership Team research what to give out the following year and each year it comes back that the scarf is the most 'popular choice', femaies don't want any sort of hat, tie, who wears a tie to the footy?....etc etc..so yes the Club does listen, it is interesting that the scarf is so 'unpopular' yet at every first game of the season we run out as Members collect theirs

I think that's more a case of people claiming what they're entitled to as it is of people loving the scarf.

I often opt out of receiving anything, but the club still usually sends me the scarf; not quite sure what the deal is there.

I would hate to disagree, but we also have a bin full of the packaging removed from the scarf, as they put them on........

I have no doubt that people wear them when they first get them (if they purchase their membership before a game), but I'd be interested to know how many people ever wear the scarf more than that first time. It's easier to wear it than to carry it around with you.

My bet is that the majority of membership scarves end up in the back of wardrobes.

The MFC should create an initiative to recycle old scarves and give them to new immigrants and young people. This would prevent the scarves from wasting away, and would help (hopefully) to grow the supporter base.

I think they are just sending them out now, i am direct debit so i imagine they just started sending them

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Jt what colour red is it?

Not Maroon like the last two years I hope

I think your going to be disappointed, not much improvement in the red (if any)

sorry OD

I like the scarf. It lets everyone know who is a member and who is not and I find that guilt works to get new members (especially in the MCC).

[daisycutter 29,616]

I would hate to disagree, but we also have a bin full of the packaging removed from the scarf, as they put them on........

part of the reason is that the members scarf has the membership year on it, so most members don't want to appear to not be current members by wearing last year's scarf (quite obvious)

remove the membership year embroidery and the scarf option will be less desirous

I don't mind the scarf but sometimes I'd like an alternative like say a cap

[beelzebub 23,376]

some days a re just a tad warm for scarves !!

For pet memberships a handkerchief scarf (just a square) for dogs to wear. My Lab would proudly wear his.

Love the viney bandana given that I can see cult hero worship emerging amongst all teenage boy members.

I love my scarf because it shows that I support the Club not only as a fan (not the "fan") but also financially.

I suggested a couple of years ago a long weatherproof navy coat with red inside. I have one that I bought from a hockey shop which was not expensive. A little bit of demon embroidery would make it ours. I am happy to show anyone from the Club if they are interested. Maybe they can make contact with the manufacturers. I often get comments when I am at the football as to where I got it and many presume it is a MFC endorsed product..

If you have a lot of scarves you can sew them together and make a rug. Looks great. Get you wife onto it.

I ended up getting some wool and making a scarf blanket for my daughter. She loves it!
