I hate our current away strip.

I think the Vee is Melbourne, since the Swans took the Opera House bite out of their's we're the only ones with it. It's prominent in the new logo and it's being emphasised in the "M". I think the clash strip should be based on the Vee - just reverse the colours and play with red shorts, you can even go navy blue socks if you like - that wont clash with Essendon or Carlton.

Did South Melbourne have a filled in V? I seem to remember them with a white jumper with a red V not filled in as ours is.

I hate the royal blue,

A friend of mine still wears her royal blue scarf and i told her this year its bad luck and has to go!

South use to have a red V not a yoke as we do, that changed to a yoke with opera house missing from it when they became sydney.

Correct. Sydney filled it in and took the opera house bite out.

Royal blue NEVER Again

An alternative strip was suggested with this design discussed late last year to this year in feb

not too bad as an alternative

I guess now with the new logo this one is being phased out? So maybe not this strip.

Royal blue epitomises what is crap about this club. I think we need to move forward i.e. get a new design altogether not go back to a time long gone now.

Horrible luck?

Superstitious. Stupid to go by that.

The royal blue looks ok.

There are a few things we could do.

Baby Blue

Mainly Red

Current jumper (switched colours)

current alternative but pink (for the whole breast cancer thing.)

etc etc etc. In all seriousness. It doesn't matter!!!!!

Put the boys in green, yeelow or orange for all I care. Just win.

I'm with you - don't really care all that much. Just stop changing as every change cost $$$$$?

I like the idea of something like this:

Emphasise the "M" for "Melbourne" as well as providing an alternative that keeps the traditional idea concept of the jumper.

Excuse crap Paint skills.

i think that is a good idea if it was designed well and the yolk was brought further down to make the jumper predominantly red

Our alternate strip is fine

It means nothing, so long as we wear it when there's a clash, and as long as we keep playing footy and winning, rather than worrying about what we look like.

And there is no demon on the current Alternate strip. its the wavy M thats on top ofour current logo

as an away strip i have no problems with becoming more imaginative. Our home team strip is sacrosanct.. but the away /clash can offer up opportunities. Not advocating selling out to M and M lol.. Other codes embrace this ...we are very stuck in the mud at times.

yeah but tom, we are getting rid of the demon logo so we will also get rid of the "m" on the alternative strip. the club are looking at having a new design for next year and it would be better if it was a good design...i like the pennant hills one without the demon in the middle. that would be great!

Do some of these still clash? Hard to say w/o seeing them live.

I had a bit of time to waste...

the white one is similar to (if i remember correctly, which i prob don't) what dandenong wore, a white jumper with a red and blue V, i dont mind that except for the stripes that come down of it.

I wouldnt mind something about 150th year being there maybe a nice cursive 150 under the M we already have that would work well. Nobody will probably think of what im thinking of but trust me it looks good in my mind

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
