[Theory about your colours (from a non-Heart supporter, but friend)]

http://www.itsanhono...nal_colours.pdf

I don't believe that Melbourne has any 'offical city colours.' The city flag may feature the red cross on a white background, but I'm struggling to think whether I've ever seen that flag flying anywhere...over the Town Hall perhaps? The last two city logos appear to have no connection whatsoever with red and white. The new one makes me think of Fed. Square, the previous one made me think of Greece (that lovely little grecian column etc.).

I think we chose red and white stripes because we wanted a 'traditional football jersey.'

yep; you're right. official coat of arms colours for melbourne are red & silver; not white. although silver has probably only been used to make it sound more regal as gold does for yellow; but yes they were probably only picked to fit in with the club having a 'traditional football jersey' style feel. not much of a history lesson is needed..... australia hasn't been around long enough.

[Melbourne's New Manager (Aloisi Confirmed Pg 30)]

If Milicic becomes manager I would like to see Aloisi become assistant and Paps brought back in as youth coach (good VPL scout and very good reputation for a young bloke).

Agreed! It'd be nice to keep things going with what we have and strengthening it. Sometimes you just have to give people a chance. All coaches started somewhere and none of them (correct me if I'm wrong though) became miraculously brilliant over night.

[Does anybody want me to make anything for the derby]

not to fuel the fire but im a guy whos been to quite a few sporting events around the world and more color brings more atmosphere to any terrace no matter what the sport. like someone posted a page or two ago color would be welcome and personally if this was me i'd push for my friends to come dressed the same and have a fake mh cheer squad.
