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

[Mr39]

Should be our full time Guernsey.

Amen.

Probably murkeys the water too much but Id like them to wear the 1914 PBs next year as a 110 anniversary of champions of Australia

They are my favourite PB’s.
I have the ones from 2014, with the flags badge on, beautiful.

Sort of sounds like he's given up. And we know it's about the piers not prison bars, but they are still black and white.

Concur. It does sound like he’s decided there’s more to life than this puerile issue.

An ideal parting shot for him, in my world, would be his public sacking of his own CEO.

 

[Lockhart Road]

In a final dig, McGuire urged the Power to “drop the Prison Bars reference”.

“I think it‘s a really bad reference in the current lifestyle that we’re all in,” he said.

“I just don’t think it’s good for the demographic that we’re all involved in and go back to what originally was – and that was the ‘piers’ of Port Adelaide. It had nothing to do with prison bars.”

This ensures that they are the Bars forever. Full name: The Prison Bars.

Go and get educated, Eddie.

Any nickname that is bestowed upon us by our arch enemy - Norwood - in the mighty 1950s is a nickname we are obliged by our rebellious DNA to keep.

Lol, I think we broke the AFL for the day.

That doesn’t even make sense.

The Sydney one looks good.. don't at me

 

[Jonts]

Yeah that looks slick

Carlton one looks good but needs to be a bit more black

 

[Fizzler]

The Sydney one looks good.. don't at me

Funny you mention that, this was in the Football Life magazine in 1968. The design itself is painted by one person based on a description from another person so it likely would have been closer to the prison bar jumper. It's obviously a great design, so it could look good in any colour scheme. But we all know black and white is best.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Invert the colours and it looks better.

Same as the Brisbane one, Royal Blue on Maroon far better!

 

[Grave Danger]

The Sydney one looks good.. don't at me

I quite like the Essedon one - the team I used to pay for wore red and black, and as a Port supporter it would've been cool if that was our jumper design.

 

[edgie]

That design doesn't work with black + anything not white.

The Sydney one looks best because it's white and red. I think a QLD state team used to maroon and white and it didn't look bad.

If it isn't black and white, it's best to use a light colour and white. It just doesn't work another way.

Average facebook dog brained sense of humour. Throw something out that sort of resembles a joke. 1000 responses:

There's an adage in branding that goes "you don't own your brand, your market does".

The market decided long ago that they are the Prison Bars and it is nigh on impossible to put that genie back in the bottle.

Not that you'd want to either, the mythos surrounding the guernsey is phenomenally enhanced with such a great nickname. The added story about the origin of the nickname says so much about Port Adelaide the club, and the Port Adelaide people.

You can't manufacture something like this. It's pure gold.

Eddie going faux woke on PBs

"This is an important step to hopefully wear the Prison Bars once a year in our home Showdown. We think this is the perfect nod to our rich heritage, whilst we remain firmly focused on the future which has always been the Port Adelaide way. "

jesus could you aim any lower. How about it's an important step in being able to wear this guernsey when we feel it's appropriate each season.

 

[Willsy10]

it was always all showdowns and all of sudden i keep hearing home showdowns only, now we've heard it straight from the CEO. I think the difference between twice a year and once is quite significant and needs further explanation.

Our AFLW side should also get to wear it. Also wouldn't mind the 1914 version of the Prison Bars being worn for ANZAC round.

the 1914 version is nice, i got one of them back in 2014.
I'm not really that bothered if the AFLW team can wear it or not to be honest.

The 1914 thinner bars guernsey commemorates, of course, the start of the Great War alias World War I.

It is not the nicest event to commemorate, but it‘s there to stay. Like a tumour too close to the brain to be operated on and removed, or zapped with chemo or cosmic rays, it is there to stay.

Therefore we can wear the 1914 Bars at any time. We can wear the Invincibles Bars at any time, the Indestructibles Bars at any time.

If we want to make an anniversary out of it, we can wear the 1914 Bars next season - 2024 - the tenth anniversary of the year in which the AFL and Eddie refused us permission to wear the 1914 Bars on their proper centenary of that particular Champions of Australia achievement.

I have a framed 1914 Bars guernsey on the wall in our spare room, printed in subtle style with the names of all the Club’s Fallen - the names to which we are beholden, and forever grateful, and which we will never forget.

Peter Chant’s name is at the top of the first column. Pete thus comes first in the Roll of Honour on my wall.

Crows one looks like Essendon's.
They need to have yellow stripes and red piping

 

[glitch01]

Here’s Tredrea’s podcast for today about the Prison Bars.
Interesting that he’s also on the once a year bandwagon.
Somewhere along the way the supporters expectations have been been severely watered down.

If McGuire is saying this, why would we be saying its Home Showdown only.

It has to be ANZAC day also.
Personally I don't care if they are both in the first half of the season.
