The Clash Jumper farce

I know that many think this topic has been flogged to death..but this clash Jumper situation needs to be fixed. On Saturday we wore a predominantly white jumper. A jumper that looked more like st kilda ..we incorporated a colour that clashed more. I then sit down Sunday to watch the Eagles v Dogs and see that they are wearing all red. The same all red the AFL supposedly banned us from wearing as they deemed it a dark colour. I realise nothing can be done about it this season but we need to get firm on this issue. We are the team of the red and blue..i dont care if its red with blue yoke or blue with red..we are not white and never had been..well apparently once in 1858 according to schwabb ..i want the footy club for once to stand up. A red jumper would eliminate all clashes. Richmond, Footscray, Collingwood, Essendon have all held firm..we should not compromise our brand. Fix it please !

Yes it has.

Lets move on and concentrate on winning games.

Do that and the clash jumper will look great.

I don't really mind the white jumper but how stupid was it to have a clash jumper that clashed? Why wouldn't common sense prevail and we wear our standard jumper which doesn't clash with the saints. Or have two clash jumpers? Id on't mind the red idea but what about our current training jumper which looks great and would have been perfect against the saints. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't EPL teams have more than 1 clash strip?

It shouldn't be too difficult to just reverse our jumper so it is red with navy blue yoke. Would eliminate clashes and preserves our jumper to the greatest extent possible considering a change must be made. The thing that gets me is it's all well and good to not care during the H&A season but if we ever make another GF I want it to be in our traditional navy blue and red yoke not whatever white design they come up with that year.

Thanks for bringing this worthwhile subject up.

That mostly white Clash jumper is an abomination & belongs with the horrid Grey one we produced. The Bin.

It really.... Really Irks me..

Are we Sydney or are we Melbourne?????? Looks alot like a some other team.

Get rid of it ASAP Melbourne Footy Club!!! I cant believe its still used.

The training top would be much more ideal...states MFC on the front and has red & blue....NOT WHITE!

We are not the dogs....we are not Sydney....clean it up MFC for Demons sake!

Peter Jackson...Glenn Bartlett...If your reading please look into this and replace it!

 

I love clash jumper topics, some usually gets banned for a week.

I love fresh popcorn

Toumpas kick to Saints player in the open was enough for me..wearing that clash jumper against St Kilda. Why add white to our jumper making us red, navy and white against red, black and white?

I like the reverse idea I think


agree. only saw the last 10 mins but I definitely saw a couple of occasions players kick or handball to a saint - or go to and realise it was a saint not a dee. a mostly red jumper would have solved that.

or, gee, just the one that worked for the last 150 years?

Don't the Western Bulldogs have two strips? Pretty sure they have a red jumper with a blue and white hoop and also a white one with blue and bed hoops

Yup the have the three..


Don't get me started.

Please hold fire wyl.

For your blood pressures sake go and make a cuppa

Yeah I've always the thought the white clash jumper was the key reason why we're so crap....

Oh thank you BBP


Yeah I meant to say 2 clash strips and obviously the home jumper

Ta, Then why don't we have 2 (or even 3) clash strips? As i said everyone seems to love the new training jumper so why not that one? It is blue with the red MFC insignia. To avoid a clash with say Carlton you could have a second clash strip with red and a blue MFC insignia. Eveyone happy and the club getting some more money from merch. Simples.

actually the only problem with ours (apart from the white) is the big blue patches under the arms. get rid of these and they would really be different.

Actually chap the training jumper is outselling both other jumpers at the moment, considering one myself

We also need a new logo

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
