What really irritates me about these crap jumpers apart from representing the shade of Surrender is the simple fact that offten i have to double check to see if it is MY TEAM playing. 

It dilutes the connection between the member and club even if only slightly. I find it offensive. 

Would my family EVER think of altering the Family Tartan?

No.

As usual     It's all about money with the AFL and clubs

Most clubs bring out a clash jumper every year so supporters will buy the new design.    The AFL think that anything that bring money in is a good thing.

The only jumper I ever had was the one my mum knitted me back in the sixties which I wore with pride

I find the money grab insulting every year.   How much are supporters slugged for to buy jumpers?

As for the "clash" jumper..   What a load of crap by the AFL.....As I've said before I could tell the difference between teams on a bloody black and white TV. 

i'd be surprised if the mfc made more than tuppence 'appeny profit on their clash jumpers. in fact their whole merchandise setup doesn't seem very professional tucked away in the almost inaccesible bowels of the mcg.

there is no reason they couldn't make better profits from multiple fashionable customised versions of the traditional jumpers or just straight out new original designs. they don't necessarily have to be ones worn on match days. in fact the whole merchandising approach needs a refreshing complete overhaul

Stewart_Fashion_Blue_Modern_Colours_Pure My family (fashion) tartan could be used as a clash jumper.

Incorrect.

Has no white.

 

Now if you were an ESSENDON supporter, it'd be fine.

Might have been an issue at the beginning of 2016 when Channel 7 didn't broadcast the footy in HD (for some mind boggling reason).

But they miraculously flipped the switch half way through the year. I really don't see TV viewers' confusion as a valid reason any more.

Just having a slight issue getting all the first names and a phone number, will report back when I can, will have to ensure I phrase my question correctly...make sure I include 'hate' for the sheer emotional impact

You have never heard or participated in a survey before Satyr?

What a strange comment even from you. I mean really.

I would think the large majority would hate that white guernsey.

I understand that we need a white guernsey as per the rules and it's fine I can live with that. What I can't live with is some absolutely disgraceful effort to design a clash guernsey. It is honestly laughable and whoever approved it should have a hard look at themselves.

What/who the 121?

No, that you somehow think liking or not a clash jumoer somehow dictates a persons inclination to sign. 

They're mutually independent ideals.

Of those MFC mebers I know who are not on this forum/thread, 2 out of 2 = 100% hate white clash jumpers.

It really should be very easy. For clubs that don't clash witht he predominantly blue jumper of our traditional strip then we should be wearing that. That would be most clubs I would think. For clubs that do clash with the traditional strip (Blues, Dogs, Maybe Adelaide and West Coast) then we wear our alternate strip. The alternate strip could be as simple as reversing the blue and red, surely if you clash with Dark Blue then you don't with red!

Even more easy is for supporters to send that message to the club,AFL, and New Balance by not buying their white jerseys in any form and wearing predominately blue and red when home and predominately red and blue when clashing likely.

a blue hat and a red hat can make that much difference on the TV screen.

The jumper looks exactly like something I imagine Oliver would come up with if he were made to design our new clash as punishment.

I like the front cover background of the latest Heartbeat mag.  Flecks of red through that would look good on a jumper.

That will put the wind up them.

Stick it to the man!

Mess with dlanders and risk wardrobe war.

I have spent years emailing the club in this issue and countless hours emailing them my designs, like the one I put up earlier. Cam Schwabb took one of the jumpers I designed ando posted here and made it a reality but didn't add the right width of blue outline around the red V. I really dunno why they don't get people to submit designs, make a shortlist and then vote. I have suggested this too.

You mean getting people to submit designs and vote like the Dorks did:

lol - i think they thought they were voting for their home guernsey......poor buggers

Yes, most things would look better than poo brown and yellow.

Though I might add that their clash jumper for 2017 looks very much like our 2016 one.

Ironically if you change the colours to red and blue, and obviously make it the MFC letters, the runner up would be something I would really like for Melbourne. 

And at the very least with a fan designed, and voted guernsey at least your giving your supporters a chance to make a choice for something they like. 

I would say take note MFC, but how the club can miss something this obvious staggers me.

The Dorks have colours of wees and poos! No wonder they want to add "white"!

  • 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.
