Alternative strip for 2015?

[binman 44,174]

My guess is the new clash will have the monogram on it.

Which is what i reckon we should go with. The training top with the monogram seems to be universally liked (at least on DL). Perhaps the dark blue is a problem, but the red monagram on a white background (perhaps with dark blue around collar, yolk and shoulders) would work

Hawthorn has that awful white number with the Hawk head on the left hip.

If you don't get that red right, it is akin to the white in my opinion. I don't think 'our' red is a very light one. So if it a lighter colour we need, it might no be the answer.

Decent suggestions though.

what gets me about all of this is the hypocrisy of clashing in the first place and then the dubious and different treatment some teams get.

below are actual 'clash " strips from 2014 :

not a whole lot of WHITE happening there !!!

Still the last one , the Doggies , is interesting to me. A team who is predominantly Blue with some red is now predominantly red with some blue...and both a dash of white.

if thats the case why cant we change from mainly blue to mainly red as follows ( have posted before )

Also in the ridiculous hyprocisy of all this the Hawks wear their alternative guernsey against Richmond

This sees the Hawks going from a jumper with a yellow (light colour) back and brown number against a predominantly black (dark colour) guernsey to

a Brown (dark colour) guernsey with a yellow number against the Tigers black (dark)

Meth Coast wore light blue against us at the G last season but we have to wear white against them at Subi, I understand their home guernsey is predominantly navy blue but don't see any issue with a red alternative against them

_{a predominantly red jumper clashes with no team that our traditional jumper does. The current white version creates more of a clash with the Saints than the traditional.}

To be fair, North Melbourne's home jumper is predominantly white, so of course their alternative is going to be predominantly not white. Hawthorn, West Coast and the Bulldogs all have white jumpers in addition to the coloured jumpers you've provided here, whilst Essendon has their grey jumper (did they even wear that wider-red-sash one this year?).

Richmond is the only real exception - an issue which came to a farcical head in the finals.

However, a fair point rests with the Dogs - if they are able to wear a red jumper where their blue is a clash but there is no need to avoid red, I don't see why we couldn't do the same. Use the red alternate jumper where possible and only wear white if red has to be avoided in addition to blue.

Forgive my quick editing in photoshop, but just wanted to highlight my point of just reversing all teams colours. There'd be no issue with the clash of any strips then. Throw an MFC monogram on this or make the shorts white etc, just think it's pretty simple and keeps our traditional design.

So when we play Collingwood, does Dane Swan or Nathan Jones have to do something to stop their tattoos from clashing?

In regard to the Dogs we wore our traditional jumper against their traditional jumper in our game at Etihad last year and in the earlier game in the year we wore our Womens Breast Cancer round jumper.

Against Meth Coast in round 2 we wore our traditional jumper whilst they wore their royal blue alternative.

The AFL make rules on the run re this clash strip as shown in the Elimination Final Richmond vs Port debacle

Long sleeve jumpers?

[I named my bull Jack Viney 3]

Hi all, long time reader new poster. I e-mailed the club about this topic today and they replied with,

"Our 2015 jumpers will be released within the next week so keep an eye out on our website for the images. I think that our members and supporters will be pretty happy with them for next season".

so yay! not long to wait to see them. I spoke about the MFC monogram and not wearing a white jumper because we are the red and the blue in the e-mail, so hopefully the bolded bit is alluding to this.

I actually really like this one, I've wanted a simple reverse of the colours for a long time

That's not our red though. Our red isn't a light red. I will keep an open mind but I am not hopeful.

lol - neither is the red on your avatar

Obviously it would be our red on the actual jumper. I'm sure the guy did his best with Photoshop to get it close.

[DistrACTION Jackson 9,564]

I prefer the white one with the V's similar to Port's.

The reverse colours really doesn't do it for me.

yeah was just a quick edit to get my point across, sorry

agree, the only jumper we could win a game in this year. I came to really like it

[rpfc 28,832]

Yeah, I just meant that if we see the finished product I doubt it will meet the AFL's 'light alternative' guideline.

love this!! Would not clash with anyone between this and our traditional jumper u can work around any clash, throw in some white shorts here and there if needed but it should fine?Been wanting this for years! Edited November 14, 2014 by DemonDing
