This is going to sound a bit off but so be it.
We can change jumpers at the drop of a hat for retro round, pride round, Anzac Day and we can wear the indigenous jumper for a month however we can’t wear our most historically significant jumper without kowtowing to a rival club and the AFL administration.
Basically it seems as though we’re headed the way of the premier league and jumpers are just another income stream and not a reflection of our heritage.
I honestly think we should have 3 jumpers, home , away and PBs. I’m pretty much over the AFL being the self appointed social and political governors for the football world who seem to want to jump on any current social trend.

No it was also our away guernsey in 2003.
I’ve always liked the design but until the PBs are sorted wheeling it out is just an unnecessary distraction.
Or maybe this is part of a deal we’ve made? PBs once a year IF you get some more Port Power in ya life.
Yep. It should be a simple club statement repeated ad nauseum.
We applied to wear x version of the prison bars for retro round and were denied by the AFL. As a result we will take no part in retro round this year.

Chokito put the movement back another 5 years
I must've blocked it from my memory.
TBH I don't mind it
Pretty sure we lost to Collingwood in a final wearing it at the G.
I associate this guernsey with choppy and Nick Stevens.

Yep, the 2003 PF
So what people are saying is we can't have any heritage or nothing can be counted as heritage unless it's black and white?
We have been around in the AFL for long enough now to be creating modern heritage

I don't think anyone's said that at all.

Like the idea.
Like the guernsey.
Hate the timing.
Really hate the timing.
Until we have secured some sort of autonomy in wearing the PBs against more than just the bloody crows, we should not be diluting the image with other guernseys.

we don't need to artificially create modern heritage, we have the best heritage in the league, we're just managed by soft losers. they're murking and distorting our history worse than the Port Power est. 1997 phase, in fact.

This is one of the arguments that Collingwood would be making when we ask to wear the Prison Bars for heritage purposes. We’re playing into their hands here.
Also it’s about priorities. The 120 year old Prison Bars should obviously be our first priority. Once they’re sorted as a regular fixture then sure, wheel out designs we wore for 5 minutes til your heart’s content.
While I agree, you can't just blank out everything in our AFL time and not call it our history.
Mark down our black and white against crows once a year but also celebrate our modern history to

PBs aside, this is our best guernsey.

it is to our current management because they want Port Power, Teal, Lightning Bolts, 90s, Charlotte Hornets, How-Cool-Were-The-90s to be our heritage and all SANFL stuff to be relegated to "stop living in the past bro lightning era cooking"
