Jumper clash fails

This is correct, and Port should correctly display this as when their club was established.
The Port issue is that they are focussed on slowly re-introducing the Magpies black n white heritage to become their AFL identity.
After 25+ years in the national competition they should have a strong national identity as the Power, but all the living in the past and pining for the magpies bars is not helping
Exactly. And we aren't soccer or basketball either. So I'm happy for clubs to have combinations of "dark" and "light" in their guernseys. The vertical stripe ones look much better with that contrast, after all. And if a side wants a number panel they can probably have that too.
Because we arent those leagues we are able to be more flexible in the approach to home v away v clash.
We dont need clubs to come up with completely random kits like essendon in burnt orange...like in soccer.
NBA teams have 4 - all teams have the traditional white "home" association, and them icon, statement and city.

But we dont need to enforce all teams having a white strip either.
But we should follow policy of all leagues and ensure that you dont have two teams with primarily black jumpers playing against each other.
The home team should pick, and the away team should have to play in an alternate...it really is bloody obvious and simple.
But people keep wanting to cling to stuff from the 1950s ie white shorts, white number panels just because of "tradition" or "heritage".
Back in the 1950s all games were at suburban venues, at 2:10 on Saturday and there was no television...we have moved on from those amateur times, yet havent updated our uniform policy.
It is ridiculous.
Nup.
Richmond have a great alternate in the yellow. Suns going from red to blue also is great. And then you have teams like Freo and Carlton with the white.
What we need to do is actually compare jumpers, two teams should never be able to compete in predominantly black/navy jumpers.
It really isnt hard -
Carlton away to Richmond or Essendon play in white alternate.
Richmond away to Essendon or Adelaide play in yellow alternate.
If we were to budge, maybe let them wear the PB once every 5-6 years, they can celebrate all their other heritage jumpers in between.
You were forced to join the AFL? Wow, that’s a new one…
Why don’t Port just wear the prison bars during Retro Round once per year? I recon a decent lawyer could argue that heritage = retro. I’m sure Freo wear old jumper from the seasons where Port Power occasionally wore the bars.
No, the Prison bar merchandise the club sells is based on the sanfl team.
What's the big deal about merchandise tye club sells to its own supporters? You think Collingwood supporters are buying Port merchandise?
Like I've said many times....AFL clubs like all clubs are not for profit entities. Collingwood could make 100 million profit from merchandise and it wouldn't benefit the football programs because expenditure is capped.
The jumper change also fixed the clash with North and Geelong so was a neutral change for jumper clashes.
We're not allowed to because of Collingwood's protests. It's an Eddie legacy and clearly the shadow of Eddie still looms large over the Collingwood administration.

You didn’t answer any of my questions? I’m curious about the Est. 1870 that the Power are running with on all the merchandise and there logo stating 1870?
The same Port Adelaide football club that was in the SANFL entered the AFL. It looks complicated because of the rules exposed on them like the colours and jumper but also that the SANFL wanted to keep a PA side in the league as well.
But make no mistake the club that is in the AFL is the PAFC est 1870. Pretty common knowledge this.
That is how it slipped in originally.
The first few "heritage" rounds Port trotted out the light blue amd magenta, the actual 1800s heritage jumpers.
But when the "heritage" concept was waning...ie WC, Adelaide, Freo and the Vic clubs had already pulled out some of the random early jumper incarantions they went with a themed 80s heritage round. Port played in the 'bars for that round.
But the rounds are gimmicks, hey put a collar back on and the foxfooty crew bring out skinny ties and big hair.
Port need to look forward.
The showdown push is embarrassing, the showdown gas nothing to do with the Port Magpies heritage.

No common knowledge is that the Port Adelaide Power entered the comp in 1997.
If it were the PAFC est 1870 then the premierships they have won in the SANFL would be recognised in the AFL which they are not.
You dont get what established means
Collingwood were established in 1892
We won a VFA flag in 1896, it isnt recongised in our 15 VFL/AFL premierships, because we only joined that competition in 1897, but it is an important part of the Collingwood history.
Port should celebrate their SANFL origins, but just like they moved on from.magenta, they should embrace the AFL identity now and leave the black n white magpies to the history books..
Hahaha told by Collingwood supporters that we should flush our heritage down the toilet. Meanwhile they get to keep all their VFL heritage in the AFL. Such arrogance and ignorance.
I'm sure sooner or later we'll get to wear our heritage guernsey for one round per season.

The club was established in 1870. What's hard about that to understand?

It's also funny.
They go on about Adelaide having no history.
Yet then say the showdown is to showcase South Australian footballing history.
Which is it?

Let the campaigners wear it full time. End of ****ing story. Noone is getting them confused with Collingwood. Aside from both being a shit club that is the end of the similarities.
Power have wharf pylons and Magpies have prison bars. There is no actually good reason to give a shit about this. You can't own a colour scheme, least of all as one as lifeless as black and white.
Oh and yeah, Collingwood should actually get a real clash jumper for when they play Port away.

They just want the showdown to be all about them.
The faux outrage over not getting to wear a Guernsey their pre-AFL days side wore is simply to big note themselves against a side they hate.

Stupid argument
Do we hear about Geelong's 7, Sydney's 5, Essendon's 4, Carlton's 2, Fitzroy/Brisbane (I'm not getting into that argument now - So if you want to have it, have it without me) 1, Collingwood's 1, Richmond's 2, Western Bulldogs' 9 or North Melbourne's 6 VFA premiership?
No
The only Port Adelaide premierships I will argue not counting are 1998/99 as they were won by the PAMFC, not the PAFC. So I'll say 34 SANFL, 1 AFL, not the 36 SANFL they claim. But even though I don't like the PAFC, and find most of their younger fan base intolerable, I will back up their first 34 SANFL premierships as being just as meaningful as Any VFA/VFL premiership won by the Victorian clubs. But 98/99? they can f*** off.
After all - Was the talent gap massive? Just as an example, North Adelaide knocked off Carlton in the 1972 Championship of Australia and both St Kilda and Collingwood in the 1986 Night series. So was the talent gap big.
Who has said that?
Keep it for Port museums where it belongs.
VFL = AFL
The Port ignorance is mind blowing.
Port wanted to leave the SANFL and join the big league, part of doing that was leaving the magpie and black n white behind.
25 years later, they are still looking backwards to the 1980s...it is ridiculous.
If they want to wear their original heritage magenta nobody is stopping them.
The showdown argument is embarassing.
The showdown has nothing to do with the Prison Bars.
The showdown is the opposite, a showcase of the old SANFL rivalries falling by the wayside.
Norwood v Port Magpies was a heritage rivalry in SA football.
But the AFL came along and the Crows and Power killed off the old suburban Adelaide rivalries.
It was the Crows state tri-colour v the Lightning bolts, Ramsgate hotel, Cornes v Ricciuto etc.
Absolutely nothing to do with the Port Magpies and the 'Bars.
