Melbourne's NAB Cup Jumper

How did the AFL let them get away with wearing this against Geelong?

Melbourne are wearing a predominantly white (silver) jumper with navy blue numbers. It is VERY difficult to tell the teams apart on the TV.

One wonders what the Football Director at the AFL does with his day!

I'm sure they'll sell millions of them in China.

Isn't that their proclaimed focus? Becoming a 'houshold name' in China. I seem to recall tehy are even contempating changing their nickname from 'Demons' to 'Dragons' for their huge Chinese fan base.

Pretty stupid but I really liked the jumper itself...

how can you have a clash jumper that clashes more than your normal jumper?

You would have thought they would have learnt after last year with Geelong V Collingwood both in white shorts or St.Kilda V Essendon earlier in the year both wearing equal black and red

They will use it as a clashie for Essendon and Richmond games, that will work well.

However, silver Vs white = brainless. Would have been worse if the silver shorts were available!

I struggled to distinguish the difference at times.
This racket of clash gear has gone to a second stage of craziness. The bottom line is the Mighty $$$$.
Glad to see our boys traditional strip.

i thought the jumper matched the team.. disgraceful

it looked like something that had gone in the colour wash at home and got slightly stained

I will never understand why people are so strongly opposed to clash jumpers...

Clash jumpers are fine - but so far 90% of the designs come up with are rubbish.

Best efforts our candy stripe and Carltons reversed colours, while Esendons fat sash and Richmonds yellow sides are just lazy, and others have gone too far out with the designs and ended up looking like something Pro Hart designed.

Why not just:

Have the predominantly dark coloured jumper teams have thier logo on a white jumper and the reverse to the light guernseyed teams. Problem solved.

If it were that simple all the clubs would be blowing a huge oppurtunity to make some money...

Who says the jumpers won't still be marketed?

Plain white jumpers with the club's logo on the front will never sell well, especially with little kids, the only reason why Carlton's is so good is because we're used to seeing the CFC logo on their jumpers...
