Essendon Changes Clash Strip - what about us?

Finally I am a contributor to the Demonland.
Long time reader first time poster.


I think we need to talk about the Dons announcement at their AGM of their intent to change there clash strip. 


And the apparent loosening of AFL's laws on the clash strip. Especially since we have our white one and the Bummers are looking to not have the grey or white... but an all red and black clash strip.

I would expect red & blue strip, be gone with white. The club in their wisdom has produced a new red & blue logo... follow suit with the strip.

you think for 2016 season or are we waiting till the 2017 year?
surely we were having the similar sort of talks with the AFL about this matter as essendon were?

Who knows what this may look like, may well be a red sash going the other way, kind of like Collinwood's two jumpers, one white on black and other black on white.

Our clash strip should either be a red jumper with navy MFC logo (the intertwined letters ala MCC/Carlton) or a red jumper with navy yoke. Our school jumper was red with navy yoke and it looked great.

Whoever decided red is a "dark" colour is a nimrod.


I'm most likely on my own here, but I couldn't give a rats what any other club wears.  I'm also disappointed with myself for clicking on the link that took me to the Essendon site.

That said, it is clearly offseason when posters are banging on about our clash strip.  It gets done to death every year.

I know the simple option is not to read a thread that I have no interest in, so I will just do that!

I prefer the white jumper with a red V and a dash of blue than the predominantly red jumper. 

I don't see white as adding a colour to our jumper, I see it as a logical and progressive away jumper left blank as to not clash. 

It might fail spectacularly but I would support trying a baby blue or sky blue jumper.

No way...I still get a bite every time from a Blues mate when I start giving him [censored] about their M&M jumper.

Old dark Navy Blues my arse...

Yes dc sadly  a long time ago.

I fear he may want me back though and I am not going till we win another flag.

So I may yet live forever.

for all those people who used to argue "suck it up" and "you can't beat city hall", maybe they could explain how essendon has convinced the afl to have a clash jumper in just red and black. especially given essendon's current lowly status. i'll be waiting.

Why on earth do you think the EFC have a lowly status at the AFL?

seems to me Gil and company love them.

He has been defending them for the best part of two year.

Add to that Our current jumper alternatives are fine.

So suck it up.


The AFL don't care about us, we have a tiny supporter base, get them shite crowd numbers, bad ratings, etc etc.

FFS, they keep us afloat.

 

spend five years in the top 4, get 60k members and it will be a different story.

oh but they do have a lowly status, od

they have caused the afl great grief and embarrassment. not only that but taking them to court.

you might think they are soft on essendon, but that is just the appearance given because the afl are just protecting their own brand 

you don't really believe essendon are in a great bargaining position with the afl do you?

OMG baby blue - like that pathetic Carltank one?  You must be joking.  I laugh every time I see it, especially if they then sing "We are the navy blues..." More like "We are the powder blues...".

 

The red with blue logo looked pretty good and could never clash with anyone concerned with clashing with our traditional strip.

The bit I find bemusing is that, apparently, Essendon can have a clash jumper with just red & black, whereas Hawthorn, who are also in the news relating to their clash jumper, reckon they have been told theirs must be predominantly white.

Go figure...!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
