Advisory panel #3 (alternative strip?)

[DemonTux 97]

i like...

is it me or is the newer image of the mfc looking more mature?

is that a good thing or a bad thing?

that being said the rest of the advisory panel thing was a bit of a non event.

Meh. How come we have to change our jumper so much when collingwood and essendon change barely anything?

[IWAP 170]

I actually think it looks ok

But i'm a bit confused as to why we need another alternate strip

What's wrong with the pre-dominantly red one that we used a few times this year?

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

Are you saying that this is our new clash jumper?

that is horrible! worst jumper ever!

[Scoop Junior 3,513]

I don't mind it. The key to a good clash jumper is that the primary colour must be different from the main home jumper colours. The red one clashed with Essendon still and also was not a great contrast against Adelaide. By having silver as the primary colour, it will now stand out clearly from these two clubs, as well as other clashes with Freo, Carlton and the Bulldogs.

I also like how there's still some red and blue in it to keep it Melbourne-specific. The design is a little odd and the red line/sash reminds me a bit of Essendon which I don't really like (sorry Ash). But on the whole I think it does the job well.

I'm with you, condemned 84.......it's horrible ...I hate it. Why do we need another clash jumper !!!! :angry: :angry:

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

If kath and kim had a football team they would wear that jumper, it is the worst piece of [censored] i have ever seen, this is worse than the lions white jumper and any other crappy one any other club has worn, we will be the laughing stock of the AFL. I hope we get flogged in every match we wear that atrocious crap.

Who freakin designs this? Really they need a reality check.

I repeat

WORST! JUMPER! EVER!

[Dee Dee 1,116]

Sorry...I think it's bluddy awful!

Our colours are Red and Blue not Silver, Red and Blue.

We should come up with a variation on our normal jumper and not shell out to some graphic designer wanting to add to her/his portfolio (conjecture yes - but I wonder) <_<

new logo and a new sponser....so 1, we wouldnt be allowed to wear an assics design, and 2, it is out dated because of our new logo

i dont mind this jumper....its not as good as i was hoping but i think it pooos on this years one....i was hoping it would have something to do with the 150 thing, or be a bit more traditional....carltons clash jumper is still by far the best, dare i say it

The jumper is actually not bad, and the block use of a neutral silver colour, is good.

The thing that bothers me is that the design is not balanced. Garments that are flattering, work on an equal top to bottom ratio. The fact that the bottom part of the jumper is so busy, will IMO be very distracting. But I understand that they wanted to still incorporate our usual jumper into it, so from that point of view they did well.

I wonder if they hired a design company to come up with this jumper. Anyone know?

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

Is this really the official jumper? Can we confirm this. I think I'm about to kill some one.

[deanox 9,986]

i still cant work out why we need a clash jumper. for the 2 or 3 games a year we need to wear a clash we should be selling our jumper design to some company that wants advertising (like the carlton blue smarty). make money out of that instead of selling home games, we dont lose tradition that way...

[beelzebub 23,382]

maybe it could look like this ??

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

maybe it could look like this ??

And maybe it could look like [censored]!

Oh wait, it already does.

[JCash 0]

Really does it matter what we think? As far as i can work out the advisory thing is a load of crap! The way every Melbourne supporter that I know votes they go the opposite way so do you think they will care what we think? The Melbourne Football club has a list as long as my arm of putting members/supporters second and I as much as I wish believe it won't change anytime soon...

Oh yeah I hate the jumper to.

[Yencks 8]

i dont think you understand the concept of a clash jumper...as much as we might not like it, the AFL insists all clubs have one and the little clubs like us cant fight back...the idea is that it doesnt clash with other teams jumpers, even if you want to for the 2-3 real clashes in the year, sell out to sponsors and let them design it, it can only really be done for one offs because jumpers need to be done in the masses and the AFL has to approve them blah blah blah...also, the changes in alternative jumper allows more revenue because hopefully nore young fans will buy the jumper now...

and maybe the design isnt that great but its not as bad as your making it out to be...it fits in with the new logo, the home jumper and wont clash...that is the idea last time i heard

[Hannabal 4]

I'm not wedded to it but I'm surprised by some of the schoolboy angst over it.

One of the worst clash jumpers I've seen is our current one.

[beelzebub 23,382]

I dont mind it..

It only bemuses me that with the opportunity to crow about our anniversary that it doesnt prominantly display the 150. Surely that needs to be everything Melbourne this ( I mean next ) year

I've just chundered all over my keyboard.

[beelzebub 23,382]

Come on all you knockers...whats so bloody terrible about it, given its function ?

The way some are carrying on your think it was black and white !!

[Kiss of Death 755]

This only brings one image to mind.

Pass for me.

[beelzebub 23,382]

this is an era of recycling !!!! pmsl

[Hards 2]

Yeah not a fan, it's horrible.

Just dead, lifeless.

[beelzebub 23,382]

I just know i will regret uttering these words..( as many just wont get the context..*sigh* )

but in reality what is lively and happening about our home guernsey ?? its just a jumper we all love.. but theres not a lot happening on it either !!

The reality is they could come up with a dozen jumpers and there will always be those that Ok it..and those that nay-say it.

Im more concerned with whose wearing them to be honest

...having said that i still reckon the 150 ought to be featured.. but its not.. such if life.. we move on
