2013 Jumper

[CBDees 3,167]

I don't care what design our jumper takes with the following riders:

• It is only two colours (Red & Blue)
• the 'away' jumper is identical to the 'home' jumper

Collingwood always gets away with not having an 'away' jumper and there are no other Clubs in the 18-team competition who have the same two (red & blue) colour scheme as ours. Add to the fact that we wear different colour shorts to the opposition and red socks there is no way that we could possibly be mistaken if we took a hard line on this. Under the current situation, when we play St. Kilda or Freo, sometimes it is near impossible to distinguish and our 'away' jumper exacerbates the situation.

Red, R E D. Not pink, not orange, not vermillion. RED.

What colour?

lol

It has been my experience over the last 5 years on Land that 'RED' is in the eye of the beholder...

Well .. what can be said. If you truly believe that the MFC has worn RED in the last five years then there is no helping you.

Well, if that is what you got out of my post then there is no helping you...

Taking a leaf out of the Collingwood book, we can make the gracious concession of describing the away jumper as Blue and Red.

This is what most are ignorant of, yet they continue to complain an argue...

I have a couple of mates who ALSO couldn't "see" the dreaded dark pink 'til we played the largely all-red Suns in round 19 . END OF ARGUMENT !! Edited January 30, 2013 by dee-eee

Why is the word "see" implied?

And are arguments always ended when all caps and two explanation marks come into play?

Did you know that pink is the result of mixing red and white together? Ipso facto dark pink is a modified red.

cant understand why we cant wear the 80's style red and royal blue with white shorts, even go back to the red jumper with blue lining from a few years back, anything is better than watching them get around in all white, barely feels like your watching ur team when in white!!

Especially when St Kilda, Freo etc also start or revert to mostly white. If our shorts get muddy, we become undistinguishable.

Royal blue versions have been banned for all eternity !!

I agree....The jumper was truely awful.....and went away from our true colours....

IMHO it was not as bad as the pink one.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I was thinking of aurora Stadium when we play the Hawks as an away game.

I try not to think about playing the hawks anywhere

actually...and find it tearing to write this.. the filth sort of do have an away. Home is white stripes on black..Away is black stripes on white. It does actually make a bit of difference. I appreciate it just about borders on semantics but they have actually found a way.

Maybe we can simply do similar. Make away jumper to have red back.. follows the back of yoke to hem.

probably far too simple
