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!

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..

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
