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

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

And who has been specifically seconded by the AFL to re-invent Etihad as fan friendly: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-trying-to-reinvent-etihad-stadium-as-a-fanfriendly-venue-20161028-gsdaeh.html

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?

Fing energy watch... Otherwise brilliant.

the inverse ones from a thread a few years ago were great. Red with blue.

ps the one from the op is putrid!

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?

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 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'.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
