Been trying to find the best and less Stevie G pic for years man
The blocky design is cool as ****, it's a great distribution of the colours (sorry I was born in 96 I like teal) but the design is just so crap.
Why was the team that finished higher wearing white shorts?

The design is objectively better.
It has less “information”. It’s simpler. The colors don’t clash, but cooperate with one another.

It was the opposite in '07.
From memory they tossed a coin during the week to determine the 'home' team. No idea if this is still the case.
Looks
with the long sleeves
just watched a video while scrolling on Insta and it was some bloke going to Alberton to buy the guernsey and gets there at six am to secure a spot and ensure he gets one as there was 1000 ppl for the prison bars and could have missed out.
Six people showed up for this “premiership guernsey.”

Good observation.
The lack of intersecting horizontal line where the shapes reverse in colour is a huge benefit for the away (Wings) guernsey. It's a simpler design and has the balance of colours right.

It's cool because it's crap.
Facebook nuffs with the standard bring this guernsey back full time nonsense. It’s nice to see once a decade but the current guernsey is a lot better.
We really should’ve went a traditional design right from the start. I would’ve done a silver or teal bars on black from the start but i’m in a small minority with that view I believe.

It was a coin toss back then but it shouldn’t have needed that because it’s common sense that the team with white in its colours wear the white shorts.
Brisbane wearing white shorts against Collingwood last year was brain dead.

The silver/battle ship grey wasn't good enough for the AFL which is why teal came into the picture.
Silver bars wouldn't get ticked off now let alone back then.
Original plan was the bars with silver instead of white. AFL (collingwood) said no - go and find another colour and, while you're at it, a funky modern design.
If they'd just gone teal on the bars from the start it would have been accepted by the old schools (maybe reluctantly) and saved so much grief
And actually would’ve looked a lot better than those original guernseys.
And we wouldn’t have needed to change our strip multiple times over and wearing the traditional black and white strip once a year would be more accepted too.
The bars design doesn’t need to be black and white to look good in my opinion.
Missed a trick with that a bit

They look best in black and white - but the continuity in design should have been a non negotiable. It would have prevented a lot of the 'not the real Port Adelaide' bullshit
Ahhhhh I don't know!!!

And why is there half a random teal sash?

No it's not.
If the guernseys and socks don't clash then it's logical the shorts shouldn't either. Why are maroon tops and socks ok with black and white (and teal if you use Port instead) and black socks but for someone reason maroon shorts and black shorts are not allowed?
No team should have needed to wear white shorts more often than it is.
In 2013 Fremantle got told to wear white shorts but they could wear their normal top, they said no, if you want us in white shorts then we will wear the white top with it.

Meh to end all mehs. Glad we saved our pennies for a STEM centre and a pointless extra grandstand instead of using more on sacking hinkley and paying some luxury tax to get some decent ****ing coaches.
Atleast its not a ****ing indigenous hostel this time.
