A much simpler, more traditional look for Melbourne this season. Gone is the off-centre ‘M’ logo – which looked ridiculous in the absence of a player number, in its place it a fairly basic arched block script and number. Two issues here, the team name in white is unnecessarily outlined in grey, and the number is just an outline. It’s the opposite of the problem the Hawks jersey has.

This year’s Soda Stream sponsorship is better integrated, and improvement over last year’s white block. And the OKC-esque gradient stripes that made uptimes the back of last year’s jersey have been replace with a minimalist dotty/half-tone pattern on the side panels.
