Collingwood certainly seem to have issues telling vertical and horizontal apart.

Also what part of ‘not trying to be the magpies in the afl’ do people not understand."Get over it, you're not the Magpies in the AFL, stop trying to steal another clubs history. This is punishment for 1990"

Southport have worn a jumper featuring black and white stripes in the VFL this season. Didn't hear a peep from Collingwood about it.

Collingwoods black and white kit is just ****ing boring shit. Copy ****ing hawthorn and Norf why don’t ya.
The Port Adelaide B&W kit - now that’s the way you do a guernsey.

This is the uniform of the Southport Sharks FC: Black and white stripes, you say??
Come on man I'm telling you exactly what happened. All you had to do was check.
Your own club don't support the stance you've taken here, this is a ruling they only apply to Port.
One off heritage round..
Didn't you guys get to wear a heritage jumper as a one off dispensation in the AFL heritage rounds?
Give a club an inch, and straight away they think they are a ruler.......

You're asking a Collingwood fan to think critically and fact check. All they do is parrot what Eddie sprouts as if it's gospel.

Southport Heritage Round | Southport Sharks
This Saturday, the Southport Sharks will celebrate their inaugural Heritage Round at Fankhauser Reserve against Sandringham.
southportsharks.com.au
I think the words inaugural and once-off have different meanings...unless of course you plan to screw them over as well.
And if VFL and AFL are different, will you stop referring to your premierships by the term VFL/AFL and just count the AFL ones?

If this isn't the biggest pot calling the kettle black statement of all time.
We dont answer to Collingwood or any other club, we answer to the AFL. This issue has zero to do with Collingwood, and the fact there is fear fans could get 'confused' that a Port jumper is a Collingwood one should be taken as both patronising and insulting by your mob.
Of course you don't answer to Collingwood. You are part of the AFL, and are governed by their rules. Same as Collingwood.
But unfortunately for you, the issue has everything to do with Collingwood. The design of a Black&White vertical stripes guernsey is a design that the AFL has to protect. CFC has that design in the AFL.
They also have to protect your guernsey design, so when the Tasmania enters the competition, they won't be allowed to copy your current design and have that as their uniform.
Time for Koch to start using the word "corruption".

Why is this? What good reason is there why Port Adelaide and Collingwood can't wear a similar guernsey design? Do you really think people are going to get the two teams mixed up?
Oh, and this argument applies to us being allowed to wear it every week. The idea that there is any reasonable justification for us not being able to wear it twice a year is patently absurd and is clearly at best a massive power play and at worst the most insecure small dick energy of all time.

Port guernsey design is different to collingwoods - collingwoods design is the same as hawthorn and Norf.
Ports is a better design that all three Victorian vertical strypes.
That’s what really irks collongwoods - Port have a better guernsey sitting in mothballs than the shit collongwood wear every week.
At a risk of starting a sh1t fight (which I am not looking for) I do have a question.
Is it the bars (wharf) that Port supporters have a soft spot for?
Is it the black and white colours?
Or is it both?
For instance would consideration be given to a grey top with the wharf logo in a different colour (black, white or teal)
Have the bars but not the colours.
Again, excuse the intrusion but I am genuinely curious.

At no point has a compromised strip been considered or accepted.
Only both reflects and respects our history.
It's both or nothing.
No one asks Collingwood this question when they refuse to wear a proper clash guernsey.
If I open my other eye, I can respect and relate to this answer. Thank you
As for clash guernsey we have our black with white stripes and our white with black stripes
And yes, even I can admit we are surely taking the p155 with this clash strip.
I think if we could wear the og prison bars whenever we liked i think the club would have a few different colour variations but until then you don't ****ing touch it
The reason is conceptually, the AFL need people to be able to distinguish between teams easily. Their colours and design of the jumpers are paramount in this. This applies more to people who the AFL want to attract. Both new sponsors and new supporters.
It would be poor of the AFL to have 2, 3, 4, or all teams to have similar jumpers in the competition. Let's all have red jumpers, one with stripes, one with stars, one with spots....
Also, it makes the function of watching AFL a lot easier if the teams have significantly different jumpers on the field. I was around where the VFL grounds were poor, and when it rained, the grounds were MUD!. It was almost impossible to distinguish between Collingwood, Hawthorn and Nth Melb in the mud. Unfortunately, all those teams were allowed in the competition with those colours and designs, and the AFL could not force a change. They did, however, demand a clash/away guernsey.
Nobody is that gullible to believe that the push by port to wear the wharf pylons will stop at "just the showdowns". Don't think everyone is stupid and that only Port supporters/officials can brew their plan without anyone cottoning on.. We are not stupid.
1) Showdowns only.. What difference does it make to CFC
2) Port home games, except CFC (a concession to get this through)
3) All Port games except against CFC.
4) All games except CFC away, and CFC to find an alternative to a B&W vertical stripe jumper for its away game against Port.
5) All games, and CFC and Port to "raffle" who will wear B&W stripes.
Let me ask a simple question... Why didn't Port enter the AFL using the wharf jumper? If you think it doesn't matter to anyone, why didn't they start off with it? Is it because they know it is a problem, and they would never have been allowed to enter?
(Port people: - Lets just enter the competition now, and then when we get established, we will then change and wear the wharf jumper..)
This can go 2 ways... Port keep asking, and keeps getting denied. In 50 years time, everybody will have forgotton what the Wharf jumper is, and life goes on.
Or, Port get the first concession, and it ends up as i have stepped above.
