New balance apparel sponsorship renewed?


Delusional demon 82

Recommended Posts

I get annoyed  when I visit the two large NB shops in Melbourne, Chadstone and DFO South WHarf, and find that there is not one piece of MFC apparel on display or being sold anywhere in the shop. They have to do better than that. There is Liverpool stuff everywhere and it sells. The fact is, the should be contributing to our marketing, they're not

Do we reciprocate too and try to advertise and sell NB gear in our Demon store or online? If we don't maybe we can start to and ask them to do what you say (great idea by the way)! All about exposure :)

I think we do, quite a bit actually. We even sell their shoes in our online store

We give them heaps of exposure. We have a whole section dedicated to NB gear on the Demon Shop page

And don't forget this DL forum page. FWIW, I believe they ran out of Melbourne Gear last year just before the 70% sale, or am I being naive?

New Balance is harris scarfe brand, bargain basement sportswear. Hoping we get a decent brand to put our gear together eventually. Have bought 4 hats in 5 years and they're all garbage.

Agree 

hope we can get a real sports wear company on board  in future

NB is basically lower end 

old farts gear 

my style really but would love Canterbury or Nike

You do realise that NB is one of the most popular brand of shoes amongst young people?

I personally think they are a great brand to be associated with and have the potential to be one of the biggest in world sport.

Wait. If their quality is so fantastic why would you need a new pair a short time after buying the last?

My feet aren't going to change size so no issues there. Current pair is nowhere near worn out. Asics Kayano are the only better ones I have had.

Thanks New Balance for sponsoring the MFC. 

I reckon their stuff is ok. Like a lot of brands.

I have bought one pair of trail runners using the great discount and they have been as good if not better than any others I've had .

but I've found it really hard to find anything else worth buying ,apart from a tennis top for my Lady 

I'm  glad others have enjoyed their discounts 

we all have different tastes and needs

I can appreciate everyone has different tastes.

I think long term it could be a great partnership.

No its not, its awesome.   Winners, winners, winners.  

I will exclusively buy New Balance gear from now.

He'll be the biggest loser 6 months into his term, and by the way if you think winning by demonising minorities, racism and blatant hate speech is a good thing then there's no hope for you dude

May not be allowed to in anti compete clauses with the AFL stores.

New Balance sucks, the CEO and board are big Trump supporters

Ahhhhh, you may want to fact check that and look at what they actually said. I will paraphrase for you. They were asked what they thought of Trumps ideas around trade agreements and putting in place more protection for US workers, they said they backed Trump on this point. That is all, no more no less. So unless you are someone who thinks you have to agree with everything a politician says or none of it, and that there is no grey, there is no nuance, then I would say they don't back Trump, they support one of his policies which is directly related to the running of the business. Even Pauline Hanson occasionally comes out with the good idea or two, I may agree with those points but I will not back her as a whole in any way shape or form. 

By the way, Sanders and Clinton both held the same view on this as Trump and NB.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
