Alternate jumper

I agree 100% if they want to keep ties with old SMFC supporters and bring some back to the fold, why not?

What about the pre-season strip we wore in 97/98 for the then-Ansett cup? Or the original hoops we wore till 1904? Plenty of options on http://footyjumpers.com/

That one is a shocker!

The opera house logo is a bit kitch IMO. It may have been a good idea in the 80s but I would be in favour of dropping it now.

alternate jersey

any ideas as to what, if any, our "alternate" jersey will be?

i assume that we will just wear the south melbourne jersey for the clash but i could be wrong

As our jumper doesn't really clash with any others, it may not be necessary. But if the AFL insist on a "clash" jumper, I would think that the old SMFC jumper would be a good alternative.

Randomly oriented red sash.

Sky blue jumper with royal blue swan and royal blue numbers. Show some pride in being the only NSW club.

Uncanny...I have just painted a garden bench those colours over the course of this week. A sign maybe!!!!!!

Red and White hoops to match the socks.

MBH confirmed in an interview on SEN before the GF last year that a clash jumper would be the all white jumper with the Red V, teamed with white shorts and the candy striped socks.

He also mentioned that we would see this jumper a bit more than just during clashes ie probably at all Melbourne games going forward.

Would be interested to hear from anybody who has contacted the club recently asking when we will get a look at the new strip and under what circumstances it will be worn?

I'd rather just have the one strip and only use the red V when we actually need the clash strip. There was a time when I didn't mind the idea of a tip of the hat to the people in Melbourne by wearing it in games played down there, but of late I have thought "@@@@ them".

Ultimately the AFL don't just want a clash stip for each club but a full change for home and away. So it is inevitable that we will be required at some point to have a predominatelty white away strip for use in all away fixtures.

The clash is just the start.
