Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

This topic is pretty funny
I personally don't care either way if Port wear the prison bars or not, but I do find it a little bit funny they are pushing it to wear against the Crows, who according to them are a shit club/no history - But they wanna pull out a traditional jumper against us? I thought the Crows were irrelevant
as an aside, though, the prison bar actually clashes when Crows have white shorts on and Port have the white number panel - The Crows & Port should both wear probably clash jumpers but maybe I'm too much of a pragmatist for others to agree with that
finally I actually think North Melbourne's jumper is closer to Collingwood than Port's (well, it was until they inverted it)
It makes you wonder why design isn't trademarked but colours are? Bit weird

Your argument is that they can't wear the black and white prison bar jumper because they didn't wear it 150 years ago in 1870. I am arguing that they are celebrating the total 150 years not just the year 1870.

Port wanted to wear a few jumpers to represent the complete 150 years as much as possible with emphasis on the PBs obviously because it has over 110 continuous years with black and white . I think another team (was it North Melbourne) that used various jumpers in their anniversary year. Its a great way to showcase the history IMO. Unfortunately, Eddie and Victorian media, and even the AFL to a degree are noit too interested in non Victorian Football history. Pity because other states and teams has a richness to add to the tapestry.
How did the AFL acknowledge Port Adelaide's history on the exact anniversary date 12 May 2020.? It banned the Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL from participating in the local competition. Rather deaf to the occasion.

I’m assuming port want it again your mob because they’re our biggest home and away games, plus you’re a south Australian team and our rivals. Makes sense to me if you want to wear the prison bars once a year it would be in the biggest game.
That happened because you sold out your SANFL roots
That isn't a diss, Port are now on the national stage - other clubs like Norwood / Sturt etc are forever in feeder leagues
The virus/economic choas of this year accelerated it, but the process started when Port went talking to the VFL in 1990
The timing is just rather, poetic, I guess
I'm not arguing at all, i was wondering why they don't celebrate the colours they started with.
It might be just me, but if i wanted history, i would like to see the start, not just the successful years.

The topic could be considered funny except for the fact
Sold out our SANFL roots. No. We out grew them.
This isn't a diss.
There would be no Adelaide Football Club if not for Port Adelaide.
Glenelg, with the backing of all other SANFL clubs, in 1990 took Port to court to halt their courageuos AFL bid while the SANFL scrambled in a lawyers office forming a football club while on the phone to the AFL. End story.

What he is saying is pretty straight forward really.

Correct.. PAFC were formed in 1870 and entered the AFL in 1997.
Mate, you have seen the SANFL right?
If you get the chance to get out of that shit then bloody hell take it.
The nuffyism is insane there.

Is there a way for Eddie and Kochie to both come out if this equally pissed off?
If so I vote for that
If so I vote for that
ok so you guys have just totally missed the part where a Port fan erroneously stated that North Melbourne/Richmond/Footscray & Hawthorn formed in the year they joined the VFL - thus ignoring their pre VFL history
Eddie has been angry for a few weeks now. I think everyone is getting a spray, this is just another topic for him.
End of the day wanting to wear it against the crows doesn't really upset anyone I would have thought.
End of the day, it shows how bad we need the football to start.
I don’t think traditionally means what you think it means. Don’t confuse it for “originally”
Port Adelaides prison bar guernsey is our most worn guernsey, in which we have had the most success in. It is iconically Port Adelaide
