Here is the statement. AFL doesn't say its banned forever.

Statement: Port Adelaide request to wear black and white striped guernsey

The AFL confirms it has not approved the request for Port Adelaide to wear a black and white striped 'prison bars' guernsey for the Round 8 match vs Adelaide Crows

www.afl.com.au

The AFL confirms it has not approved the request for Port Adelaide to wear a black and white striped 'prison bars' guernsey for the Round 8 match vs Adelaide Crows next week.

After reviewing the request from the Port Adelaide Football Club, the AFL determined the existing signed agreements between the Port Adelaide Football Club, Collingwood and the AFL on the use of the "prison bar" guernsey would remain in place.

In 2019, the AFL, Port Adelaide and Collingwood came to an agreement that allowed one-off approval for the 'prison bar' guernsey to be worn in Port Adelaide's home match against the Adelaide Crows to celebrate the Club's 150th anniversary.

That agreement, signed by all parties, stipulated the guernsey was specifically approved for Port Adelaide's use only for that single match in 2020 and Collingwood's approval did not bind it with respect to any other future proposals by the Port Adelaide Football Club in respect of the guernsey.

Collingwood Football Club has made it clear that, at this time, it does not agree to further use of the guernsey by PAFC including in 'Showdown' matches against Adelaide Crows.

On that basis, and consistent with the arrangements that have applied to all previous instances of use of the "prison bar" guernsey by Port Adelaide since the Club joined the AFL (i.e. with the approval of the AFL and Collingwood) the AFL does not grant permission for the guernsey to be worn in Round 8.

The AFL will continue to work with both clubs going forward on any potential future use of the guernsey.

 

[Cuzz09]

Port asked to wear it for every showdown

The afls response was they're not allowing it for round 8. That's all they said, nothing about the later showdown.

We didn't ask to wear it just in round 8

Strange.

This

Can you just try and wear it v random teams whenever?

That's rich. In what capacity has the AFL worked with us on ****ing anything since 1997?

 

[OneGreatClub]

Looking for the official AFL statement, can't find it, but Derwayne read it out again, or at least the second half bit and only Rd 8 is off the table.

The AFL is going to keep talking to Port and Collingwood about it.

 

[Ports1870]

We should make a formal request to the AFL to where it every week until they eventually say yes.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

The AFL will continue to work with both clubs going forward on any potential future use of the guernsey.

We need to be saying again and again and again that Collingwood should have zero say in this. It is a discussion between the AFL and Port Adelaide with zero impact on Collingwood.

 

[GremioPower]

So, basically Collingwood, the second most insecure club in the entire AFL, dictates what we wear.

Brilliant...

 

[Astronema]

I think we should call their bluff. Wearing the bars is not a huge issue for me personally, but it’s clear it means vastly more to the supporters and club than anyone else. To others its simply marketing and perhaps an extremely small amount of lost profit for Collingwood. If we copped the four/eight points and absolutely destroyed Adelaide in both games then went on to win the flag it would be truly amazing.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I know, but where have you been the last month?? One topic (more than the PBs) gets discussed in 4 or 5 threads these days.

Geez even you participated in it.

Yet I was singled out. As I said easy pickings. No consistency.

 

[Rendaw]

So we will lose premiership points if we just wear it anyway.

"PORT Adelaide will not be allowed to wear its 'prison bars' guernsey for next week's Showdown against Adelaide, after the AFL threatened to dock the club premiership points should it have gone ahead with its plan."

The AFL says it's not banned forever but they will continue to be dictated to by Collingwood at least until the AFL gets a CEO with a spine.

That last statement saying they’ll continue to work with us and Collingwood is 100% just to placate us, the fans.

lol, you're just taking the piss.

 

[Rendaw]

So what I can gather is once we are a bad team and not going to make finals then we can wear it every game and get pick 1 each year until they stop docking us points.

 

[Steve Dore]

Not really as Collingwood should have no say in the matter. What the AFL is saying is that it will continue to be Collingwood's decision.

 

[Byrons Firen]

The AFL is obviously terrified of Eddie.

It's why the PB decision has taken so long. The AFL know in their heart of hearts it's a no brainer but they've been wedged by a blowhard racist bigot.

 

[dropbear101]

Hey someone from the freo board came up with a good idea.

You should wear the bars on grand final day. Whats the afl gonna do about it.

They will start docking us draft picks as well.

probably force a last minute guernsey change and if they cant/dont award the opposition a forfeited flag
