Mate why even put up anything that  has Red background. You know that  it has to be a white back ground.

 

But it doesnt have to.

Red doesnt clash with port or carlton ffs

Get it?

Apparently many think they know more about this than Jennifer Watt - General Manager Marketing and Communications

Who recently won the Graeme Samuel Scholarship: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-05/jennifer-watt-wins-graeme-samuel-scholarship

We Demonlanders are a masochistic bunch, aren't we?  Keep banging our heads against a brick wall and wailing against this same injustice every year!  Do we really think anyone in power actually gives a rats about what we think...??

They should listen as we are the ones who buy merchandise and also keep the club afloat!

here are some alternatives i have saved over the years from places like here and big footy.

no reason we couldnt be in any of these - or even have 3 (blue/red/white)

i feel sick

this has actually turned me off the AFL in a big way

ffs

158 years and we have to wear THAT next year? jfc

If these were our clash Guernsey's I'd be fairly happy with that. I'd probably remove the little emblem on the original but other than that I can't see much better of an outcome than what you've put together here.

Can we honestly put this forward along with a signed petition? Would anyone else be keen to try do that?

But the dogs essendon roos and crows amongst others wear alternate that isnt white.

Making us wear white when not necessary is illogical and stupid.

This is the AFL it does not have to be logical.

Horrible. Thought the logo would grow on me, it hasn't. Looks even more [censored] on that jumper. Melbourne Acorns or Bellends it is.

I do not understand why we dont just have an inverted clash strip, predominantly red with the blue V?

I do not hate the new one but I do not love it either, was the same feeling with all out clash jumpers.

You mean like the one Richmond were allowed to wear in 2016?

No poxy white on this.

I'd be happier with the below version and only in games where there is a genuine clash (not just every away game).

And yes I'd be happy to sign a petition for almost any variation that didn't include ghastly white domince.  I hate the white with a passion and there are few things more sacred to a footy club than it's colours.  I feel violated every time I see us in a poxy white piece of crap jumper.

The Brisbane Lion supporters lobbied hard and won their battle against the Paddle Pop Lion jumper - time Demons fans took up arms to fight for our own jumper.  The AFL has clearly set numerous precedents allowing other clubs away jumpers much closer to their regular home and away jumper, so the MFC should have reasonable grounds, particularly as we are the oldest club in the comp.

Is there someone here on Demonland that can set-up such a petition?

Spot on and the answer is No.

will we all return our memberships? No

will we stop going to games? No

Will we do anything that effects the MFC? No

AFL you win.

How would returning memberships or stop going to games help the situation other than hurting the MFC.  

There are better ways to push this with the AFL than the above - how about burning a white crap jumper on the doorstep of AFL house, or something along those lines that expresses our extreme dissatisfaction with the situation without hurting the MFC?

A jumper is jumper it doesn't matter what the changes are,thank goodness it is not a gold power ranger look.

If this is the new clash jumper its a shocker. By why should we be surprised.

Business and the market place prevails. The trump stone.

Merchandising and branding wins every time over good design and good taste.

I have to say that I have disliked the new logo from day one. Okay as a logo on a mug, glass or coffee cup but no much else. 

Yes Ernest, agree, the new logo reminds me of the old Warner Brothers emblem that they used to show prior to countless old TV series. Don't like it, yes on club coffee mug but certainly not on a pure white shirt. 

One thing i really wish they'd bring in is the names on the jumper mini me ( my son ) is always having to look in the book to work out who players are by their number. 

the clash jumper is close to the worst i've seen and a 16 year old in an arts class could design better in my opinion, some of the suggestions on here are much better.

Phew!  So, it's not just me?!!  Thanks, Daisy!  When I see it, I see squirrels!

I liked the old logo too, but c'est la vie ... As for the clash jumper, I prefer last year's, and hate the white in any of them. Logically there is no reason why we can't have a blue vee on an otherwise red jumper (see Essendon "clash strip", and the Bulldogs have a red variety), but expecting sense, consistency and reason from the AFL is a pipe dream ...

I know I'm getting old, but reading this thread is giving me flashbacks to this time 12 months ago, and the year before. and ........................

I emailed the club to tell them it's horrific and they're better off keeping this year's. They replied with a copy-paste response saying white clash guernseys are necessary and there are ongoing discussions about them with the AFL. Actually annoyed me more than if they didn't respond at all. Just condescending.

Think most people were pretty comfortable with this year's. Especially the red one that never got rolled out.

I notice that the Demon Shop link is now inactive. 
Regardless I've written to the club this evening outlining my displeasure with the new uniform. I said that t
he club only needs to look at social media posts and club forums to gauge instant feedback.  I've pointed them to Demonland's poll whereby nearly 80 per cent of respondents claim to 'hate it'.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
