Thanks, It's at least a good start. I think it's better than the white options. Maybe it'll get people's creative juices going in a different direction Let's see where it leads us, can't do any harm experimenting with different approaches I know what I like/dislike but my design skills are !#ss weak

Well, I still think you should add a final option of "none of the above" (please) I do understand what you are trying to do, and I have read all the posts. With respect to the royal blue. Reread my original post. I was NOT necessarily proposing it, just giving an example. I was just suggesting that using different shades of red and/or blue, MIGHT be better than white, and MIGHT be a way of reducing clashes, and MIGHT be a different approach to the problem. Just trying to use a bit of lateral thinking, we're not necessarily on different pages!

So, Its your way, or no-way? And I'm a twit to boot! You have'nt changed. I think there is a lot of people who cringe at the white. I don't accept it's a fait accompli with respect to the AFL. I just beleive that there's got to be a better design option without reverting to white At the end of the day it's just an opinion, but thanks for your advice.

I think you should add "option 5 - None of the above" if you want to get a representative view. Personally, I could never vote for a white-based jumper, they are all just appalling. I know we are being backed into a corner on this. So what, I think we should keep applying pressure for a red and blue variant. One possibility to consider (I'm not necessarily proposing it) is to use different blues and reds (for clash only) e.g. like the old royal blue jumper of the 80's. I know it wasn't the most popular but at least its red and blue and better than white and has at least some connection to history. I'm sure someone could come up with some different shades of red and blue that don't clash with existing clubs and still have the melbourne "look". There is a post a few back that shows the old jumper and you can clearly see the royal blue against the richmond black - quite different compared to navy blue vs black. Anyway, just something different to consider.
