THE Brisbane Lions are considering wearing the old Fitzroy jumpers for all future AFL away matches in Melbourne.

As part of the heritage round, the Lions wore the famous red, blue and yellow strip for last weekend's shock victory over West Coast at Subiaco.

Many long-time supporters of Fitzroy, which merged with the Brisbane Bears in 1996 to form the Brisbane Lions, would welcome the opportunity to see the club play more regularly in the traditional jumpers.

"I and a lot of other people watching the West Coast game thought the Fitzroy colours looked magnificent out there on Subiaco," Lions chief executive Michael Bowers said.

"So we're having a good think about maybe duplicating that on the MCG or Telstra Dome for our future Melbourne-based fixtures.

"The loyalty of our Victorian members and supporters is one of the club's most prized assets.

"Fitzroy is in their blood and so it's in our blood, and we want to openly celebrate that history.

"Wearing the Fitzroy jersey for our Melbourne away clashes could well be the way to go.

"So we would love to get members' feedback on this idea."

The Lions have already committed to wearing the Fitzroy jumpers in the August 11 clash with Hawthorn at the MCG as part of the celebrations for the Kings of the Pride reunion function.

They will be wearing their predominantly white clash strip for Saturday's match against Melbourne at the Gabba because it is officially a Demons' home game.

The Lions wear the clash strip as the away team against Melbourne, Carlton, Essendon and Adelaide.

In one concession, the players will wear blue socks, rather than the all-white ones which proved unpopular with many fans.
