Somehow I think we better get used to it...Am sure the AwFuL will want us wearing it at every opportunity as summary penance for being so maverick !!

 

At least the song will still make sense now...and we'll be hearing it ALL the time ...surely  !!

I loved it when we reverted to our traditional navy after our 11 year dalliance with royal blue (I remember the advertising slogan 'back in blue' like it was yesterday), and now I love the new clash rig for the nostalgia factor, and the million memories of the late and great Robbie.

Anyway, as all  AFL traditionalists would know, white was always the domain of the maggots.

An international sponsor and now a simple red and blue away jumper. 

Every step taken by the off field management has been a step in the right direction. 

Big one remains elusive.....a home of our own. Time needs to remain our friend and all may fall into place,both in and off the field. 

Good move Dees.

My first reaction was to throw up in my mouth.

My second reaction was ‘huh, AFL must be moving away from white’.

And we are back to it meaning little...

What will it be in 2020? 

Silver again?

Not a huge fan of the Royal Blue. Memories of the late ‘70’s and early 80’s watching the Demons had few highlights, But it is 100 x better than a white Jumper, at least now i know, at first glance I am watching the Demons

well done to those who kept up the views to the AFL. 

Clash Jumpers are purely a marketing tool

SWYL can you tell us what you are a fan of? Why do you really enjoy?

Watching the women's team one thing I really like about their jumper is the fact that the yoke sits a lot lower than the men's jumper:

This means that the sponsor and AFL logos don't interfere with design of the jumper as much.

In 2010 we had something similar, albeit the yoke wasn't as sharp as it could be:

brad-green-aaron-davey-brent-moloney-and

It would be good to go back to something like the women's / 2010 men's jumper for future.

I love the fact our clash one is only our old retro 80’s one. Being an 80’s gal, I grew up with it, so it’s not too hard to watch them in this. Frankly, I’m syrprised the AFL let us get away with it. They never seem happy unless it looks completely different from their normal one (of course Collingbog are extempt to this rule). Of course it’s navy blue all the way for me, but if we had to wear it for the grand final, I wouldn’t be too fussed. I just hope they agree to keep it like this and never change, here’s hoping.

I am a fan of winning GF’s in the Red and Dark Blue. 

The new clash strip is better than any white crap we have had to wear over the years, but i was not a fan of it back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. 

I bought a new footy jumper Round 1 1987  in celebration of leaving the light blue jumper behind. 

Sorry for not liking it. 

But it is an improvement on White

Understand. No offence, but I am assuming you are older than me? I’m an 80’s girl so I was too young to remember the change happening. So, growing up it didn’t bother me. I had the wollen jumper they sell now (over $200!? Get serious) except it had no demon logo and was royal blue. Still take my royal blue VFL scarf to all home games. So it doesn’t bother me, but I can see why others don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, I’d never want to go back to it, navy all the way. My point is if we were forced to wear a clash jumper (heaven forbid) in the grand final, at least it would be a jumper that was once official, not like the travesty’s of St Kilda’s And Richmond’s.

Uhm glad we’re all caught up now, as others have said I could care less if it was a white inverted Schwabby special as long as I get to see a flag in my lifetime. The Tigs didn’t give two hoots in the jumper they wore.

I’m only 40 so there is hope.

Of course. I do care what we wear. I hate the white top too. I can see how those who are apathetic about what we wear as long as we win probably wouldn’t care if we had a hawk on it, if you know what I mean ?

If the merger had gone through, i doubt i would have supported the club if a Hawk was anywhere near the front of the jumper. 

After what we witnessed in 87 & 88 i would never understand an MFC member ever cheering hard for that yellow bird

I mean clash jerseys is a basketball/soccer thing. Everyone was fine for over 100 years, why are they having so much problems now?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
