Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

[Rich01]

Gold Coast board

He loves to have his say on club jumpers. Got quite upset when Richmond wore its home strip in the 2019 GF as well. Not sure what his beef was or why he cried to the media. Or how it was even relevant to his club. But he’s your president, pushing some sort of strange agenda.

Once again - this is not a Koch or PAFC board generated or driven campaign. It’s a grassroots campaign driven by the supporters that after many years has forced the PAFC to acknowledge it.

If you're drawing a parallel to the Gold Coast game in China, then you'd be aware that Gold Coast ended up wearing their preferred red and gold guernsey.

So you're clearly in agreement that Port should be allowed to wear the Prison Bar guernsey.

Right?

The supporters are making their own prison bar jumpers?

Was the prison bar jumper the one that they came into the AFL with? If so, that’s consistent with the GC example.

Power's Koch threatens Suns over red-and-gold in China

Port Adelaide president David Koch repeats his threat that the Gold Coast Suns will not play again in China if they wear red-and-gold jumpers in Shanghai.

That's gold

As they should have. Port Adelaide's black, white and teal bears no similarity to Gold Coast's red and gold

honestly Collingwood's jumper is just a white background with two thick black 'stripes' (I use that word loosely). it does not even look great and does not even look like "black and white stripes" at all. but we all know they changed their jumper in the early 2000s anyway, it's not special to them how exactly it's designed or anything. prison bars > collingwood's 'white panel' design

Collingwood espouse they are black and white stripes. That is all. Is it convenient? Hell yes!

Collingwood don't deny the fact the singlet changes. Every club has had subtle design modifications, particularly with each new apparel partner. With Nike, the stripes are wider, and the alternate also has pin stripes.

Was the away jumper the Gold Coast wore in China the same one they came in to the AFL with?

It looks to me that Nike have widened the stripes to lessen the 3 stripes effect introduced by Adidas when they switched the black and white in 2001. The effect is that it looks a lot whiter at the top of the guernsey where it's crowded. It's an interesting change. I'm surprised it took this many manufacturer changes to move away from something that looked so much like Adidas.

The change in Collingwood's design has pushed it even further from the Prison Bars, which obviously have thin bars and a crossbar with a much blacker top of the guernsey.

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

We are getting them made off-site in a full blown black ops style manufacturing mission with no records retained. Full deniability by club.

We are going to do whatever it takes.

3 clear stripes has been the general design of guernseys of all VFL clubs with the striped design, since the Sekem days and before. Interestingly, all 3 clubs - Collingwood, Hawthorn and North - have historically used darker stripes on a lighter base predominantly. Adidas made the stripes a touch narrower, and also, issued singlets with lighter stripes on a dark base with Collingwood adopting it as their home uni and Hawthorn using it as their away uni.

What Nike have done this season with Collingwood is a bit of departure from the norm, not seen since the 1920s on Collingwood's guernseys.

That didn't work out to well for Essendon

You tell me.

I know that Port didn’t come into the AFL with the prison bar design. Teal was the defining colour of the jumper, to differentiate against other clubs.

Gold Coasts colours have been consistent in yellow and red since inception. They were bullied not to wear it for their home game against port.

 

[edgie]

Well, they didn't. They wore their home strip.

So they've either gone against an agreement, an agreement doesn't exist, or they should just wear whatever they please.

Also, red and yellow isn't that different from many of Adelaide's guernseys over the years.

Whichever way this goes, works in favour for Port, goose and gander.

That response was from Infinite Retail in Broadmeadows who are contracted to run the online shop for our club and I assume most others. They truly have NFI. I’ve had them send me the wrong item before, clearly defective items, the works. Now that I live back in Adelaide I go out of my way to the physical Port Store just to avoid these bozos.

You'll be glad to know Infinite Retail finally got the flick from running the online store at the end of last season. I think it's being done largely in house now, I ordered a couple of items and whilst they took an age to arrive due to Macron's issues with covid in Italy, once the stock was in Australia it was delivered quickly.

The only AFL club not proud of their AFL affiliation...Nothing, absolutely nothing matters pre 1997 for this club of nobodies!

 

[jle101]

Bit of drive-by posting going on in this thread.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

You miss the importance of the word 'agreement'.

It is AFL incompetence that often creates clashes, Collingwood have two distinct strip's

The white with black stripes, which is perfect when playing against predominantly dark teams. How can anybody think there is a clash in the below?? It is the perfect away strip.

And then we have our home kit
Black with white. No clash with Geelong.

Only an illiterate Collingwood fan could think that these 2 tops are distinct and unique yet the Collingwood stripes and the Port prison bars are identical.

P.s. thanks for yet another reminder that despite their claims the Pies have changed their home strip over the years

you don't even make sense. everything pre-1997 matters for us, that's over 100 years of history, why would we chuck it away?

Everything pre 1997 has nothing to do with the AFL in 2021! It's a SANFL heritage and history. The nobodies hate their modern guernsey, have no modern heritage amd should never have embarked on an AFL journey in the first place. Their home guernsey is fantastic, it's very sad to know the nobodies disagree.
