Toast #BringBackTheBars - Our Heritage, Our History, Our Right! Part 2

[Pt Augusta Power]

Taking the piss they are

 

[Interstater]

There are only two appropriate responses to this:
!. Wear them (b&w) for all home games from now on.
2. Walk away from the AFL

Stop letting yourself be bullied or stop representing the club.

 

[melanChronic]

Just looked at the official club petition. It's over 40,000 now. Club should bring the focus back on that. Is the AFL really going to stare that clear statement of people's will on this issue and back in their boy McGuire? Disgraceful.

LOL HOW THE HELL IS IT THE BLACK AND WHITE PRISON BARS IF IT’S BLACK AND TEAL
KOCHIE NEEDS TO GROW A PAIR . He is apparently fuming because he played nice in negotiations
Laughing stock.


The Herald Sun can reveal the Pies are prepared to make ground to allow Port Adelaide to bring its historical jumper back into the AFL but only with certain concessions.

Port Adelaide’s prison bar jumper has a predominantly black top third and then the black and white prison bar panels on the lower two thirds of the playing strip.

The Pies are not prepared to allow the Power to wear black and white prison bars but believe a compromise is the use of teal instead of white in those panels of the jumper.

They believe it would allow the Power to combine the heritage aspects of a proud club that has won 36 SANFL premierships with the modern teal colour of a side in the AFL since 1997


With both parties now cooling off after that recent spat, it is not known if the Power could accept the Collingwood rapprochement but the offer will be made for 2023 and onwards.

Pies president Jeff Browne declined to comment when approached about the proposal.

But a compromise position would help both clubs as Collingwood would not be seen as mean-spirited and the Power could deliver a win for fans desperate to retain the prison bar tradition.

Collingwood chief executive Mark Anderson said last month the Pies would not allow the prison bar jumper to be worn but said there could be a spirit of compromise

I'm speachless that a club about to play finals has actually spent time coming up with this shit. If they don't win the flag it's 100% because we're in their heads. Our feeble, gutless chairman and board are in their petty little brains.
**** off collingwood

[simba_]

those photoshops of Koch and Boak are a disgrace, a massive slap in the face.

 

[MrMeaner]

I’m not sure what’s worse: that Collingwood came up with that shit and presented it as a compromise; or the journo and their editor fell for that framing.

That no one has stood up to Collingwood for a number of years allows them to do arrogant stuff like this.

 

[StrappingTape]

Collingwood claiming they own the concept of similar black stripes (add teal to it and we’ll let you wear it once!) would be news to North and their use of identical white stripes.

Farcical.

They (Collingwood) have just admitted that their only concern is the colours and not the design because obviously to anyone with a functioning brain it's nothing alike. Nice own goal actually but hey you'd need someone competent to actually press this point home but our dear leaders can't even get what is the easiest argument in football over the line with a lame duck CEO.

 

[El_Scorcho]

If we wanted to wear teal prison bars, we'd have been wearing them for at least a decade. Teal prison bars isn't a Port guernsey.

This is legitimately like us offering the "compromise" that we wear the PBs full time and Collingwood have to change their colours to red and green.

 

[PowerBaz]

Kochie should talk about going to court, he talks a lot about stuff but doesn’t actually do much at all.

 

[Rising Power]

Don't yous know that Norf and Hawfawn have to apply to Collingwood for permission to wear stripes on an annual basis? St Kilda lucky to not have to do the same after they successfully argued that they have 3 panels as opposed to stripes.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Even Andy Maher thinks it's a joke

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Here come the alt-designs again

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Collingwood can eat a d*ck

 

[StrappingTape]

I love the PAFC since 1870 flogs who don't actually understand the point.

 

[Burningleviathan]

I like how they say we could only wear it once a season. As though having black and teal stripes also requires their permission. What a joke.
Just take it to court, challange any copyright and get it over and done with.

 

[Janey]

Collingwood can eat a d*ck

you've put that a lot more politely than I would, but it would just end up a string of **********

 

[GoPorts]

For such a powerful club, Collingwood is very insecure. They obviously very fearful of us and our history

It comes off more as a bully who's just enjoying themselves by pulling down the pants of the class nerd who likes to talk about economics

 

[Alex09]

It comes off more as a bully who's just enjoying themselves by pulling down the pants of the class nerd who likes to talk about economics

exactly that, and the bully only ever stops when the victim stands up for themselves. Port haven't yet

 

[bacharach]

I think this has to be a piss take that got out of hand.
I'm actually confused at how something so stupid and nonsensical is actually genuine.

 

[chiwigi]

What makes you think silver bars would be approved anyway?

It won’t, but it will definitely weaken our argument.

 

[Waspy79]

Can’t wait for the club to accept the offer.

 

[wannabejack]

3. Forfeit the showdown.

If we're going to forfeit a game why not let it be known to the AFL that we will forfeit next year's Collingwood game.

 

[Janey]

Can’t wait for the club to accept the offer.

If they let us run out in any sort of compromised kit, I'm not going. Either we wear the prison bars as they're meant to be or not at all.

 

[MrChow]

If we r compromising it can’t be on Collingwood terms - so stupid.

If we r compromising - I propose we change the black to the darkest digital tone of navy blue - which will look effectively black on a TV screen.

Very dark Blue and white stripes are fine. I’m sure we won’t have to ask Norf
