Maybe it’s time to sue Port for breaching the agreement and selling black and white jumpers. They can go back to the jumper they started with in the SANFL. Pink and black was it? Or Teal and white? Hard to keep up with all the jumpers they’ve had... “tradition” hey...

It’s a great strip, no doubt.
But it’s a SANFL strip, not an AFL strip.
How awesome it looks, nor how rock hard Cometti got when he saw it doesn’t change that.

I still don't see what the issue is if they wear the guernsey.
All this confirms for me is what utter dicks the AFL are.

Why don’t u want it? It’s just a colour; who cares? Good luck to the yellow and black dockers.

Irrelevant.
If they were trying to wear a navy blue jumper with a white port logo on it you’d be squealing like a pig

That could be the reason, sure....
Another possible reason why no port fan lawyer have risked their legal reputation on this is that it’s un-winnable, and they know it.
Pro Bono does mean free, yes, but lawyers have their reasons for doing pro Bono work, usually to boost their experience credibility and /or reputations.
This wouldn’t be that case, and they know it.

Not exactly rolling in $pondoola ... I'd donate to their costs if they gave that Melbourne based hierarchy a rocket.
Where are the Commission when the admin are so inadequate?

In my experience, NO matter is "un-winnable". The club would obviously need to engage someone to go down that path. It has chosen not to at this point, because they are aware that most sporting organisations take a dim view of their member clubs going outside of its internal procedures to get the Courts involved with their internal decisions. It may get to the point though where the continual disrespect of our club and its heritage simply becomes more intolerable than it already is and they choose to go down this path.

Ahhh... but according to the bloke I was responding to.. it wouldnt cost them anything really.. its all free!..
Likewise. Couldn't give a toss if another club adopted the hooped guernsey for 2 or 3 games per year just as long as they were not identical. In Port Adelaide's case, the guernsey's are fairly different.
I think a bigger concern is the Magpie emblem. That links the two together.
Port simply want to have their history respected and be able to honour that by wearing the jumper we’ve worn since 1902 and won a record number of premierships in.
The AFL knew exactly what our jumper was and what our history was when we were invited to join the national competition.
Its funny how quickly Collingwood have forgotten what their then president said. “If Port Adelaide finish about Collingwood for 3 consecutive years we will remove our objection to them wearing the prison bars”
FYI - Port did that in 3 years, on this basis Collingwood should have no objection to ok this any longer.... It’s funny how quickly Eddie picks when comments matter.

What continual disrespect has there been ffs?.. Youre just making that up..
all you have been told is that you cannot wear the port adelaide sanfl jumper. How is that disrespectful?.
the port adelaide power when they entered the comp signed up to an agreement stating that they wouldnt wear or sell the PB’s jumper because it was deemed to be too close to collingwoods jumper.. thats what your club agreed to.
If anything.. the only ones being disrespectful here are port adelaide by trying to reneg on the agreements they themselves signed up to..
Only going off Wiki, where are the correct details?
Didn't Port change their Premiership guernsey on a whim because a kid designed a new one as part of a marketing ploy?
Seems like guernseys are only meaningful when it suits.

This is the Port Store tonight.
Because of the AFL and Collingwood's intransigence we are forced to sell PB jumpers with the Magpie logo on it. We can do that because that logo is not licenced to the AFL. I suspect that the AFL might not make any money out of the sale of these particular jumpers. If they could come to a new agreement with us on use and retailing of the PBs, we could sell these with our new PA monogram club logo which would surely help to alleviate any of the so-called confusion that the likes of Eddie McGuire claims to exist and also see the AFL receive a cut.
