old dee 24,084 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 This thread proves beyond any doubt that there is bugger all to talk about at present
daisycutter 30,022 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 It's the 'red and the blue' - I don't like the all red thing we had a few years ago - it's not our jumper. If it's all red, it may as well be white. i don't think most are suggesting all red just predominately red with some navy blue elements at least that's what i'm talking about
rpfc 29,030 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 i don't think most are suggesting all red just predominately red with some navy blue elements at least that's what i'm talking about I know what you mean, I just see less MFC in that Red with the M one, or the 'Cartoon Demon in the middle' one, than I do in the White Imitation (yoke on yoke thingy) we have now.

Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 New Balance partners for three more years I like the MCC logo on the jumper (I'm not an MCC member, I just like the connection between the two clubs) and the cut of the jumper is much better. By the way James Frawley is the biggest Melbourne players since Phil Read. EDIT: Interesting that Garland mentions the players wanted a flat neckline, the collar wasn't all that popular with the players?
old dee 24,084 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Hurrah it is Red and Dark Blue. No pink or Maroon in sight.
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Hurrah it is Red and Dark Blue. No pink or Maroon in sight. It's been like that for over 12 months now.
old dee 24,084 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 It's been like that for over 12 months now. I know CB I am just happy they are continuing the one year tradition.
DeeSpencer 26,708 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 - Ok I'm on my own but I liked the collar, gave us an air of class - Still think the red isn't perfect. I know Schwab's experiment with the red was a stuff up but this is still too tomato coloured and not a deep rich red. However it might fade a little and be the right colour on TV. Last years jumper was right on TV, this one just looks a little too bright in that video. - Don't like having the MFC logo as well as the sponsor and AFL. Makes it cluttered and asymetric
rpfc 29,030 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Good on Colin and James for doing that. Let's hope it looks red when we get out there playing... And the MCC logo... I think it's fitting for a club that came out of a ground and a cricket club than a suburb but I can understand people not agreeing with that...
monoccular 17,761 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 It looks great and hopefully Col isn't just toeing the party line (though I am sure he wouldn't be out there saying he hated it even if he did)! Only one concern - "On top of its new deal, New Balance has also redeveloped Melbourne’s guernsey to a lightweight performance with patented New Balance dry moisture wicking technology for players’ jumpers and shorts." Haven't we had far too much "lightweight performance" in recent years? ;-)
Sir Why You Little 37,478 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Looks Great....Good to see the MCC is represented on the back.. It is our home.
Bring-Back-Powell 15,576 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Any news on the clash jumper? Any amendments? I actually quite like our clash jumper of 2011-2013, best we've had so far. More than happy to wear it next year against St Kilda, Carlton, Adelaide, Essendon, Bulldogs, Port and West Coast.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I like the new jumper, I reckon I'll buy one this year.

Judging by the AHG press conference it's the same and I agree, it's not too bad considering the parameters the club has to work within.
alias275 259 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Don't know about anyone else here, but that video they have for the new jumper was awesome. The media team at the MFC are doing such a great job with all their videos now (even if this recent one was actually done by an external company)
rpfc 29,030 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Looks Great....Good to see the MCC is represented on the back.. It is our home. Perhaps our away strip should pay homage to our home?
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 According to the MFC Twitter account the MCC logo will only be on the player jumpers, not retail ones.
rpfc 29,030 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 According to the MFC Twitter account the MCC logo will only be on the player jumpers, not retail ones. Is it the same material then?
Sir Why You Little 37,478 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Perhaps our away strip should pay homage to our home?Is the MCC logo also to appear on that abomination. I would expect so. We are forced to wear it on the 'G quite often...

Sir Why You Little 37,478 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I meant that we could wear a strip that has the MCC colours.Oh yes that white thing that you so adore.
rpfc 29,030 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Oh yes that white thing that you so adore. I knew you would get there eventually... It was like herding a cat.
old dee 24,084 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I knew you would get there eventually... It was like herding a cat. Like button pushed.
daisycutter 30,022 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 heads up - right red and navy (with just a touch of white for rpfc) on special at catch of the day
